Michele Bachmann, gay-curing theocrat

I’ll need a bit more context to respond to the point you are trying to make.

>> She will play ball with Wall Street? How?

I think she will prove to be a naive tool of the people she will be advised to surround herself with. She’s a Dan Quayle in the making and will be eaten alive by the media. Palin has twice the IQ going for her.

[Rudder]

This is the beyond-the-pale stuff that makes Bachmann so, so much worse than Sarah Palin, to whom she is regularly compared.

Nice endorsement of Palin.

To 38 - I believe Tammy Bruce does support Mrs Palin on account of some/most of their viewpoints merging. Yet, Bruce has been savagely attacking Mrs Bachmann, who is almost a clone of Palin, politically speaking.
So why would Bruce be so adamant in tearing down Bachmann? One aspect of Bachmann, absent with Palin, is the former's, (along with her husband), advocacy in therapy for people who wish to overcome 'same-sex attraction'. Palin admits that one of her good friends is a lesbian, and although she's stated that she wouldn't ever sign off on 'gay marriage' she appears to have a 'live and let live' attitude about gays.
I oft wonder how Bruce would react if Palin were to come out and assert that homosexuality is a sin.
Bruce can be very sharp, and she does toe the conservative line on 2nd amendment, economic, and law/crime issues. She remains pro-abort/pro-gay 'rights', though she's reigned in her angry bombursts on those topics. She used to villify; malign the Catholic Church, especially the Vatican. Yet not too long ago she complimented a Bishop, (or a Cardinal, I forget), about some noble deed performed by that cleric.
Regardless of that, her rants about Bachmann are just that, rants...until she proffers evidence of her allegations, especially the one of Bachmann being a "stalking horse for Romney".

To image at 60 - Is that a ‘man bag’ sitting on the chair in the background?

[Misterioso]

This one needs a barf alert.

Only for those of us who are a little dim.

[ejdrapes]

More Bachmann bashing from Palin supporters. YAWN.

I would caution anyone that someone who the MSM considers a 'frontrunner' or whom they appear to embrace at this point will likely have either positions unsavory to conservatives or weaknesses which can be exploited at some point in the home stretch.

Don't get me wrong, I like Michelle, too, but I have to be leery of anything which implies MSM approval.

I think the reason they have been so vitriolic toward Palin is simply that they have not been able to come up with any dirt--and they've been trying their little butts off to do so.

[bmwcyle]

I want his lunch money.

[Smokin' Joe]

Palin has been too savaged by the press to be viable.

Nope. I don't think so.

Why, she's so "stupid" she is a major force in politics, and has likely paid of the Half-million in attorney's fees from defending against the baseless accusations of her detractors the last time she was a candidate.

Her experience will resonate with anyone (especially blue-collar) who has ever suffered the sanctimonious condescendence that someone 'educated' reserves for those they view as underlings.

That might be a larger fraction of the population than some realize.

We've had the ivory tower approach, and are suffering still from the policies embraced by those oh, so much smarter than we, and are ready to see a little common sense applied.

For all the attacks and dirt digging and dumpster diving the MSM has come up with, all they've been able to do is attack a working mom with a special needs kid, and without basis.

Every time they have come at her she has proven them wrong, every attack has been repulsed.

That, FRiend speaks volumes about character, and we need that in this country.

Put them together on a ticket, Unite the Right!, and let's take our country back.
