I agree. We all know politicians can be notorious liars but I expected more from Bachmann. But, as the old saying goes, there’s nothing like a national crisis and the necessity to make tough decisions that separates the wheat from the chaff. To put it most kindly, she’s no “profile in courage.”
Outside of her rhetoric, what evidence is there that she ever was a "profile in courage"? I've heard no specifics, only shallow political rhetoric designed to attract the interest of T.E.A. party followers. At this stage of the game I find it amazing that so many people are so willing to accept her rhetoric at face value.
I tend to disagree here. She is courageous enough to go out on a limb with her own opinion but she is not showing good conservative judgement. That is what bothers me.
It's not that she has to perfectly reflect every single Tea Party point exactly, it's that she doesn't seem to see how her point doesn't allow for good negotiation strategy. Without that you can't win. You lose. That's bad.
