Nice catch by The Minnesota Independent’s Andy Birkey. During an interview with the Sioux City [Iowa] Journal published Tuesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said she was not weighing a run for president — despite recent suggestions that she may hold ambitions for higher office — but she did offer an endorsement of her own: Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).
From The Minnesota Independent:
“Steve King is mentioned as a potential nominee,” Bachmann said. “I have a very high opinion of Steve King and his ability, so I would encourage him to consider any position for higher office.”
Like Bachmann, King is a very conservative Christian known for stirring controversy with his public statements. He made waves this summer when he opposed a resolution recognizing the role slaves played in building the U.S. Capitol and called hate-crimes legislation “the Pedophile Protection Act.” Our sister site, the Iowa Independent, has continuing coverage of Bachmann’s kindred spirit to the south.

Hunter/DeMint 2012.
If these gentlemen do not run, King/Bachmann is quite acceptable.
Palin-King or Palin-Bachmann for me.
I thought Stephen King was Richard Bachman?????
I don’t know much about King, but he’s about the only congressman I’ve seen actually dare to call BarryCare “socialist”.
He can’t be all bad!
Oh yeah, would vote and contribute for that ticket after thinking about it for, oh, about a heartbeat!
I like that, Hunter/Bachmann has a ring to it too.
Beauty and the Beast (at least to our enemies)
LOL, I'd love to see Tom Mc Clintock out there more too, haven't heard from him in a while.
The first thing I thought of when reading this article.
All combinations of 1 and 2 above are worthy of consideration.
Two ladies on the ticket? Sounds like "male guilt" to me.
("See, I'm not racist sexist! I'm voting for Obama Palin-Bachmann!")
;^)
Sorry, Hunter is an absolute non-starter - time to move on to a more realistic candidate.
Yes, we see how well those big names worked for us last time, eh?
Who does the marxist media & obozo fear the most?
Hint, she was a successful governor of the most important energy state and the one the media attacks the most because of their fear of her.
hunter may have good ideas but history (2008) has shown he has ZERO appeal to attract voters.
Could be, but I would just call it "Estrogen you can count on!"
But I'm not sure he is national candidate.
Zero appeal, or no GOP fat cats giving him fundraisers? Right here on FR, even at the height of the Fred hysteria, a poll asked if we could be assured of winning, who would you pick. And you know who won that, correct?
But instead, all your buds who had “appeal to attract voters”, the RINOs, were front runners, start to finish.
No more coronations and no more name recognition contests. It’s time America gets serious again.
Sorry pissant, calling me a RINO supporter is not only incorrect but it demonstrates your penchant to "make up things" as bad as the marxist media.
Sorry...but that dog just won't "hunt".
McCain won, with the help of Fred. How did that work for you?
And if he was going to lose, it was going to be to Rudy, Mitt or Huck.
Do you not see a problem with this picture?
No more damn coronations, and no celebrity name contests. Period.
You lied AGAIN by stating I supported mccain. I did NOT so stop your lying!
Get with the program, barack!
