"If Bauchman doesn’t get rid of him asap she will be finished by July"

She's finished now. Her campaign is over, just like Gingrich.

The “Quiter” sh!t pi$$3$ me off more than anything. You have be be corrupt or stupid to not understand the context of her resignation. Will is corrupt. He is disingenuously pushing an agenda under the guise of “political commentary”. I have no use for him.

Well if people see the movie “Undefeated” it will be Bachmann that suffers damage. Looks like the woman (Bachmann) is “tone deaf” and lacks leadership qualities.

I just did a search and nothing came up so if she apologized she whispered it.

If the apology didn't contain the firing of Rollins, there is no apology.

I agree. Did you see post 71? Sounds like somebody lied.

Rollins probably told her to hang in there tight and he will bring home the bacon. Probably told her as long as she does not say anything, she can always blame Rollins for acting alone. In an earlier thread, someone posted that one of her campaign persons said that Rollins was speaking independently as a media analyst.

I saw that too. Bunk. He works for her.

I don't know what Michele hopes to accomplish with this tactic. Sarah Palin has been attacked with all kinds of real and imagined accusations from all directions for three years now, and she is still standing.

Does Michele think she is going to be able scrape off a enough supporters who have stuck with Sarah all these years?

I don't know what she's thinking either but the silence isn't helping her. If she sent Rollins out then she's a nasty piece of work. If he's saying this on his own and Bachmann can't control him then she's not Presidential material.

I have to sign off for tonight. Have a good one.

Soon after (in January), Bachmann's staff appeared in South Carolina and Iowa and began slamming Palin during meetings with local GOP organizers and chairmen.

I've been looking for a link (FR or otherwise) to that all afternoon. Do you have one?

I remembered reading it about that time and was reminded of it when pit bull Rollins went after Sarah with a vengeance. The fact that she allows her staff to attack one who supported her reelection last fall says volumes about Michele's loyalty. She may have believed she had nothing to lose by hiring Rollins. How wrong that decision will turn out to be.

I guess I just don’t understand Bachmann’s motives here. Now’s not the time to be jealous or try to boost one’s ego. We got a corrupt President and administration to dismantle, and it’s not going to happen if conservatives are sniping at the one candidate who’s in a prime position to make this happen.

Supposedly, a Bachmann aid told somebody who called to complain that Michele called Sarah and apologized for Rollins remarks - we shall see if this is true, we have to see at least some kind of statement from Michele herself on this matter tomorrow and not 3 or 4 days later.

"...hope that # was legit..."

Ummm, the voice of Michelle asking for volunteers for her capmaign wasn't enough confirmation for you? Campaign staffers calling back didn't convince you?

Wow. You're a tough sell.

WTF?!

Michele, Michele, we hardly knew ye. After seeing what Rollins’ said about Sarah Palin yesterday on Fox and then today on Crissy the spitter, I have just lost tremendous respect for her.

Hiring Rollins will prove to be one big bad ass mistake by her. From now on, every snarky word Rollins utters about Palin, we will know it has been approved by her. And if she claims otherwise, we will then know she has no control over her own campaign, or, she is a liar.

Had Rollins never opened his mouth, I’d still question her judgement just for hiring him.

That goes double now. One of the things I’ve been proud of about Bachmann has been the fact that she has avoided criticizing Palin, and Palin has avoided criticizing her. The fact that potential rivals could see one another as allies in the bigger picture, I thought, spoke well of both of them.

She ought to have stuck with that practice; it gave her a kind of grace that she has just lost, thanks to Rollins. Rollins is poison, and she should know that.

The link is long buried and I didn't bookmark it for some reason. However, C4P's posting forum lit up like a ammo explosion once the reports about MB's treachery suddenly came in. I remember it well.
