Lets see what kind of political genius Rollins is:

This kind of stuff is all over the internet. Her husband’s business is taxpayer supported. And evidently, those funds are used to “talk” people out of homosexuality.

Regardless of the topic at hand, does anyone honestly believe that this is a good issue for MB? Remember, this is someone who is willing to pander for ethanol subsidies but to remove all kinds of entitlements for everyone else.

What a dope.

Rollins is the little dweeb on the playground playing "she said-she said" and trying to get a fight started between these two.

So far, I haven't heard a word about it from Palin, so the riff is all in Bachmann's camp.

Bachmann has hitched herself to a deal-killer with Rollins and he is going to erode any good feelings people have had about her.

She would be well advised to dump Rollins right away lest she is labeled a RINO wannabe and blows her whole ride.

I think she should run on her list of magnificent & significant legislative accomplishments, along with her leadership of all the important committees that she heads.

heh

MB is a second rate Ron Paul in a skirt.

Without the gold.

I haven't heard Bachmann come out and say she doesn't agree w/Rollins. Her main problem now is her base, who largly support Palin. She sure isn't winning them over by hiring this guy and attacking one of her most ardent supoorters!

i really do think Romney has promised her the veep slot, he wants that elusive conservative vote, and MB might be thinking she'll have more say as veep on policy so as to justify teaming up w/the slimeball.

I think Bachmann will be forced to do something now. MSNBC is reporting on it now that it’s made the front page of Politico (they get all their news from Politico). As far as not a word from Palin why would she say anything. It’s in her interest to stay mum and if it does spiral out of control let Bachmann hang herself.

No.

The fact she hasn’t refuted it only proves that politically she doesn’t know what she’s doing. It’s just politically stupid.

Again, you can repeat ten trillion times that she is a stalking horse trying to become Romney’s vp, and you can post a picture 100 trillion times and your posts prove nothing at all about your belief that she does this for Romney.

It’s brain dead stuff.

My post to you thinks it through and makes the case that she isn’t doing it for Romney. It doesn’t help her or Romney for Rollins to ham-handedly attack Sarah. It hurts Michele badly. People sympathize with Sarah. A child could figure that one out. Further, Michele despises everything RINO Romney stands for in terms of Global Warming, Romneycare, etc. She is tea party and he is the anti tea party.

But I repeat myself.

Therefore, I won’t bother again to repeat the obvious to someone who posts made up stuff and brain dead stuff and thinks if he posts it enough it will become true.

Politics as usual...will fail in the 2012 election cycle. You’ll never convince RINO’s of that; because it is all they know.

Here’s to 2012, making RINO’s extinct.

Michelle was a placeholder for Sarah, filling the void.

Once Palin declares, it's all over except for the part where we get to tell Romney to go to Hell.

The fact is this was NOT a story yesterday. It very well might become one today b/c Politico is now pushing it. But yesterday next to nothing. Even as of this morning many conservative sites/blogs aren’t talking about it. It’s not on the front page of CNN or Fox News or even MSNBC. It’s an inside the beltway story that die hard political junkes might have heard about but most of the general public has not. For all we know Bachmann has privately taken Rollins to the woodshed and if this does become big news is ready to respond to it. What Rollins did was stupid and I think it would be wise of Bachmann to get rid of him. But as I said yesterday I think a lot of those who are crossing Bachmann off their list or saying she’s finished were never really in her camp to begin with. So I think it’s yet to be seen if this will cost her votes in the primary should she decide to run.

I think it would be completely stupid to give attention to an inside the beltway story that’s not getting much play. Deal with the problem privately but be ready with a comment if it does become a story. With some of the comments here you’d think this was on the front page of every newspaper and the top story on all the nightly newscasts. Most people know nothing about it and probably have no idea who Ed Rollins is.

Bachmann is clueless ... only just won her last couple of elections ... hires a bigtime tea party critic ... allows him to attack other conservatives using MSM talking points, and neither of them are even yet candidates.

What a maroon. She should not run. I’m done with her I think.

But Rollins isn’t the only Bachmann ally spoiling for a fight with Palin. A second top Bachmann ally — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — said Bachmann is well-positioned to take on Palin in the Iowa caucuses.

Team Bachmann is tripling down. They're now admitting that their plan to backstab Sarah Palin has been in the works for months, as we have been seeing since January.

Most of the dots are now connected, and our repeated warnings on this board and elsewhere are fully vindicated.

BTW, the second "top Bachmann ally" is undoubtedly Steve King, who has been whispering in her ear since last fall and regularly writes pieces for Pollutico.

Hiring Ed Rollins is a huge mistake.

I continue to be puzzled by Bachmann’s failure to respond.
