Sarah Palin drove home the message this past week that it might not be Michele’s time. Others like Michele’s former campaign manager Ed Rollins (also a Fox contributor) recommended Michele not go into hawk over the race.
As I tap out my first blog post of the New Year, I understand why Michele had to drop out but part of me is deeply saddened that her campaign (a conservative woman’s campaign) is over.
I am not sure if Michele Bachmann was the most conservative candidate, the most experienced candidate, or would have been the most productive candidate. What I am sure about is that we desperately need more courageous and conservative women in The White House, in Congress, and running for state and local office more now in 2012 than ever before.
If not, we risk our country continuing to flail without self-respect or the resolve to achieve economic prosperity and more freedom.
Bachmann’s battle cry against Obamacare and illegal immigration were refreshing with so many today across both parties willing to continue on with their mind-numbing “PC” prattling.
I hope and pray as we enter 2012, that Bachmann’s words, ideas and drive do not fade into the sunset.
Much like the sometimes whacky Ron Paul, the discussion among GOP — from Tea Party Movement to Establishment — has reached unprecedented levels. This country needs formidable, merit-based change, not a new “CEO of U.S. Decay,” as Gingrinch drove home during his Iowa Caucus speech (an obvious and seemingly vengeful jab at Mitt Romney).
Those still in the GOP presidential nomination hunt, who praised her today with diplomatic words of wisdom, should seek out Bachmann and like-minded conservative women who might be running for national and state office in 2012 to tap into the power of the Conservative Woman’s Touch and create commonsense, constitutionally sound policy and law.
Someone once shared an anecdote with me and it continues to nag at me like a flea on the dog. This person told me that societies such as in the U.S. and Western Europe, in which women are the free to express and advance themselves, are the freest, least violent, and most economically productive societies in the world.
Without statistics or sources, I had my doubts about this theory. But then, I thought more about nations from the United States to Europe, from Libya to Iran, and from Russia to Japan, and realized scholarly studies to support the theory or not, this person’s thesis had validity.
As we march toward November 2012, keep in mind the power of the woman’s touch, and even more importantly the power of the conservative woman’s touch, thought and actions…a combination sadly misinterpreted by many, including mainstream media over the past several years.
