VOTERS APPEAR INDIFFERENT TO MICHELE BACHMANN’S EXPERIENCE AS LONE TAX ATTORNEY IN 2012 RACE
January 3 2012
Washington, D.C. – Every candidate in every political race brings his or her own person and experience to the table. Sometimes that experience is limited and irrelevant, sometimes completely on the mark and ideal for whatever position it is they are running. Often, no matter what side those skills fall on, it has little or nothing to do with the eventual outcome.
In the end, right or not, fair or not, people tend to vote for the person they like the best, not the person with the best qualifications. People like to follow, and they often follow the people they like, resulting in many qualified candidates with no office and buffoons in power. It’s a tried and true failing of the democratic system, played out across the world with regularity.
Qualifications would seem to be most important when discussing a future leader of a nation, like say President of the United States, but like the last election showed, personality has more to do with success than experience, and now it appears that the same thing may play out in 2012 as Michele Bachmann, the sole registered tax attorney in the field, falls further and further behind the front of the class.
“There is no comparison with all of the other candidates and my credentials. No other candidate has current national security experience in the race. I sit on the House Intelligence Committee. I am daily involved with the issue of national security. No other candidate is,” Bachmann told ABC. “Also, I’m the only federal tax litigation attorney in this race. When it comes to dealing with the number-one issue that’s on voters’
minds, which is out-of-control spending, I have that credential in spades over any other candidate, because no other candidate was leading on this issue in the halls of Congress or in Washington or nationally.”
It’s not clear if Bachmann, as President, would sue the various financial institutions in the country or simply force them to focus on national security.
She also went on to discuss her qualifications as mother, which would come in handy trying to oversee the 300 million people across the nation.
“It really is a shame in politics, and this happens every time, that people who are capable of doing to job just don’t have the ability to get elected. I mean politicians get elected and it’s pretty easy to get qualified as a politician, I think you can get that licence from most city halls,” said Scrape TV Political analyst Gabriel Kinsey. “There is really nothing that can compensate for experience, whether it’s in a related field or not. Experience is just a good thing for a politician, especially like work experience.”
Bachmann is ostensibly a Tea Party candidate, a party which opposes taxation, so it’s not clear where her experience would come in. They do still like attorneys, however.
“It’s really a shame that Bachmann has fallen so far back. I know she thinks she is good, that she can somehow come back, but she can’t really, and that has nothing to do with her experience, it’s all just a personality issue and she has lost in that area,” continued Kinsey. “Maybe one day, even in Bachmann’s life, people will see her experience as a tax attorney and make her President, but not this time around. This time she’s on the outs, ready to go home.”
Bachmann is considering lawsuits against people who don’t vote for her. A whole lot of lawsuits.
