I don't like Bachmann at all. She's mean, hateful, and a hypocrite. However, I don't like sexism regardless of who it is being targeted. I think it's sad and says so much about the Republican party still: They hate women, blacks, Hispanics or anyone who isn't a bible-toating bigoted WASP.

As much as the Republicans hate Romney's ass, they hate Obama more. And while he isn't a WASP, they'll overlook that because he's white, he wasn't slapped with $300K in fines for ethics violations, he's not a George W. Stumblefuck like Perry, and he doesn't carry crazy-assed baggage like Paul, Bachmann or Santorum. He's a boring white guy. It's gonna be Obama vs. Romney, guaranteed.

I want a drawn-out primary season. The long it takes, the more money Mittens and the Corporate Masters spend, the better for Obama.

I do believe that Obama will win, but it'll be less difficult if the RepubliCON battle plays out longer and harder.

she's simply a big time empty-headed amateur and doesn't have the money backing to make up for it like the other big time empty headed amateur (Perry)

If it were Palin in her place, Palin would be a runaway winner in Iowa.

Believe me, it isn't about sexism. It's about Teh Stupid. Between her and Perry, the burn was excruciating. The thought of either of them with their fingers near the nuke button is downright scary.

of course it doesn't help Bachmann being a woman. But, Perry is doing about as well if not worse and he is like a GW clone except without the charm.

and they won't support Bachmann specifically because she is a woman. They like everything she stands for but because she has boobs and a vagina, they will not support her.
