While I completely disagree with her politics, I admire Bachmann for honestly standing up unambiguously for the radical agenda of movement conservatives. She supported Bush's effort to privatize Social Security, she supports Ryan's effort to turn Medicare into a voucher plan, she lauds the effort in several states to eliminate collective bargaining rights, she supports curbing voting rights under the guise of eliminating fraud, she agrees with Mike Lee that federal child labor laws should be repealed, she would abolish the EPA along with most, if not all, federal regulatory agencies, she demonstrates her anti-science bias on issues like climate and evolution and she fiercely defends tax cuts for the rich. Her nomination, unlike that of the other candidates who would shade the issues to appeal to independent voters, would give voters a clear choice concerning the future direction of our country. The radical goals of movement conservatives would emerge from their intentional confluence with deficit and debt concerns into the clear light of day because the Democrats would be able to demonstrate that we can address our financial problems with destroying our social contract.
Go Bachmann!
