Lisa Graas thinks so:
…Michele Bachmann is trying to pull the Tea Party together with the Republican Party. She understands the wedges that Obama is driving. She also understands what a real Republican is. She is the anti-RINO. What makes her the anti-RINO? She knows what a real Republican is and she is on guard to defend those principles…but she will not alienate the people who can build the party. She’s smart. I’ve been watching her and know that she is put off by BOTH those who would seek to spend us into oblivion AND those who do not respect basic human dignity enough to fight for the laws that protect us all. She understands. Watch her. Pay attention to everything this woman says.
Am I saying she could be President? I don’t know. All I know is that this woman knows more about what is going on in America politics now than anyone else, and we all need to be paying attention. If she’s not the one to lead us out, she is certainly the one who can point us to the ones who can…
I have to say that I am ever more impressed by Bachmann – I’m just very doubtful that a House member can be elected President. Just too “small beans” to rise to that level…though we did elect a part-time Senator with no real experience in 2008, so anything is possible.
The key, as Graas points out, is to unite, unite and then unite some more. Graas has some hard words for those on the right who have gone along with the various liberal attempts to split the right – attempts, for instance, to overly down play social issues and that sort of thing. Some of this is on our side is unintentional, and some of it is downright well meant…but anything which causes divisions among us only helps the other side. It is either a united right – social and economic conservatives – winning, or a divided right losing.
We can win it all in 2012, if we do this right. Everyone must work to ameliorate divisions and keep focused on the real goal – getting Obama out of office, taking over the Senate and securing such a large majority that we are able to reform our nation. And reforming our nation doesn’t mean just cutting taxes or spending – it means uprooting the entirety of that modern liberalism which has given us not just high taxes and bloated spending, but moral decay and all the social pathologies attendant upon that.
As for me, I’m feeling pretty good about our prospects. Sure, Obama will be tough to beat. Sure, we on our side will break down in to arguments from time to time. Sure, nothing is ever certain in politics. But overall, I think the forces are working towards conservative victory in 2012 – after all, the liberal system is bankrupt and dying; the RINOs are still running scared from the TEA Party. Right is making might and its another good year to be a Republican.
