NEVER ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG

There is clearly a Republican edict to NEVER admit you were wrong. We all enjoyed watching Palin insist that she was right, Paul Revere really was warning the British, and now we get to watch Michelle Bachmann refuse to admit that the founding fathers in fact DID NOT work tirelessly to END SLAVERY. The obstacle she faced was that she cleary was wrong, what she said was bewilderingly ignorant. So how do you avoid admitting you were wrong when you couldn't have been more wrong? Bachmann chose the "robotically deliver whatever your deflection team came up with" route. First she praised the Constitution, the same document that originally upheld slavery and eventually declared that slaves were 3/5 of a person, then she craftily babbled about John QUINCY Adams. The fact that he was not a founding father but rather the son of a founding father doesn't matter, what matters is that he sounds like he was a founding father...close enough for government work. How could any thoughtful, honest person watch this exchange between Bachmann and Stephanapoulos and still consider voting for Bachmann? They couldn't.
