[240 is Back]

Michele Bachmann says that she will serve only one term if she’s elected president.

"I'm a principled reformer, and my goal is to see the country turn around," Bachmann told the Des Moines Register. "I'm also committed to being a one-term president if that's what it takes in order to turn things around, because this is not about a personal ambition."

Old article, already posted. Nobody cares. She has no idea how to fix anything, she just knows she wants voted in office. Find someone with a plan.

Ryan and simpson bowles have a plan.

[Dr Loomis]

Both those plans raise taxes on the working class and keep loopholes for the wealthy.

LOL I think youre going to realize sooner or later that taxes are going to get raised on everyone, its just a matter of time....

not that its fair that 50% of the population pay no federal income tax at all in the first place.

at this point - with our nation really polarized like this... it's entirely possible that it'll be a series of one-termers.  That pendulum is swinging higher and higher.  More extremes.  The anti-bush sentiment in 2000 was WAY worse than the hatred for clinton in 2000.  And the 2012 ferver against obama might be even hotter.  Trend continues, president bachmann comes in and takes away the welfare/handouts for 40 million people... she might get the boot in 4 years.  Pendulum, baby!

Howard Stern said the same thing when he wanted to run for governor of NY.

I don't get it?  Is this supposed to be a negative?  She's not saying she'd refuse a second term, she says she's willing to leave after one term "if that's what it takes."  She even adds, "this is not about a personal ambition."
