I have not been happy with Michelle Bachmann.

She was a terrific force in congress for her last couple of terms, and I donated to her campaign last year. But since then, I have been disappointed. I expected her to lead the Freshman Tea Partiers in congress and put pressure on the leadership to honor the election.

Instead, she has pretty much dropped out of sight in her congressional dealings. Boehner has pulled one boner after another, and Bachman has done nothing to show him up.

Now she hires Ed Rollins. What that says to me is that she is “moving to the middle.” Very, very disappointing. We elected her for a reason, and she doesn’t seem to get it.

She is in too much of a hurry to climb the career ladder. I’m afraid that will simply make her another fading star, like so many others who just wouldn’t wait until they were ready and had EARNED it.

IF Bachmann happens to swerve into to VP slot on Mittens ticket, the very first thing SNL will do is a spoof on her rebuttal. Within a week she will be Quayled and will not know what to do. When she has to deal with the level of hell visited upon Sarah Palin, she will crack. Hell, she is already crying about how mean Matthews and Press are to her.

Its a “Beltway” sickness..... about power and retaining it as a career...not a service to country or a higher calling....once they fit in and uderstand the “system”...Dem or Pubbie...they all get it..even at the lowest levels of State or local...
