Michelle Bachman...I'm not a fan.
She was recently asked by Chris Wallace what she would be willing to do to compromise if she becomes President and this was her response : "Well, we will have an election in 2012, and as nominee of the Republican Party I will work tirelessly to make sure that I can help elect also an additional 13 senators to come with me to Washington. Because I would like to get to that magic number of 60 so we can be filibuster-proof in the Senate, and retain a conservative House. "
Somehow that doesn't sound like much of a compromise to me.
I know I may be very outnumbered in this opinion, but I don't want either party to have complete control of the House, Senate, and Presidency. Having a balance is much more ideal. Yes, it makes it more difficult to get legislation passed. And that can be frustrating. But I don't want a government consisting of Democrats or Republicans who can do whatever they want. I'll take the frustration any day.
Whether Bachman likes it or not, there are Americans out there who disagree with her. And if she really wants to be President, she's going to have to learn how to work with them.
