Chris Matthews Gushes On Real Time:“Real” Michele Bachmann Is “My Hero"..She’s Going All The Way
mediaite ^ | Friday June 17, 2011 | Glenn Davis

Chris Matthews stopped by Real Time with Bill Maher tonight to serve on the show’s panel, and he really likes Michele Bachmann. Her name came up and Matthews immediately referred to her as “my hero,” predicted she’d beat Mitt Romney in the New Hampshire primary, and praised her for being “real.” This is probably where we make a “thrill up my leg” reference.

Fellow panelist Ross Douthat strongly disagreed on the New Hapshire point, but Matthews wasn’t getting swayed. He talked about how Bachmann “stands for something.”

“You also leave out many inconvienent facts to your position, the greatest of which, is that Quayle did not fight back, Sarah Palin has refused to lay down and die, instead, she keeps fighting back getting stronger and stronger.”

Yeppers... Gov. Palin would likely call them out for a spelling bee!

Sorry, but I thought her proposal on cutting health care was way out there. VFW went after Bachmann. Bachmann plan would cut veterans benefits

By Rick Maze - Staff writer

Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has unveiled a plan for cutting $400 billion in federal spending that includes freezing Veterans Affairs Department health care spending and cutting veterans’ disability benefits.

Her proposed VA budget cuts would account for $4.5 billion of the savings included in the plan, posted on her official House of Representatives website.

WTF?! Looks like that talk about her getting on the Romney bandwagon has some meat to it!! IIRC, no Romney has ever served in uniform since they came here, so what are veteran's benefits to them but a liability? Now taxes on trust funds, hedge funds and stock sales is another matter....

Has no meat and you know it. LOL Sad when you think you can help your candidate by taking down a real conservative.

Obama did that to his competitors too. And look what we got!

And look at your source. Good grief. How pathetic.

Honey, you’ve been taking down a real conservative every time you jump into a Palin thread. But bless your little heart.

The House of Representatives’ website is pathetic? Isn’t that the source for what House members are up to?

Perhaps that real conservative since 2008 that Billy Kristol and buddies invented could just jump into the race and stand up beside the others and compete.

Ain’t all that hard. That should make you happy, right? it would also save you lots of energy.

Has she gone to the dark side or what? There needs to be trillions cut along with a lot of federal jobs, illegal aliens need to be sent back and any benefits should be eliminated.

Oh I'm sure you'd find a way to jump on that thread too, and trash a real conservative just like you're crying about here.

Oh, and let me remind you, that real conservative from Minnesota, you know, the one who used to run around with liberals, now has Ed Rollins and Karl Rove in her camp.

If Palin had those two in her corner, you'd be peeing your pants with glee, just to bash her some more.

The man almost destroyed Cleveland as mayor and is a far left extremist.

Did he bankrupt Cleveland and say he was proud of it?

Did you even read my post? The details of her proposed cuts were on HER website!! Do you still deny she wanted to cut veterans benefits by many billions of dollars or do you need more links? If ANYONE has a claim on "entitlements" from the federal government, it would be wounded and disabled veterans, or do you disagree with that?

This is not a Palin thread. I don’t visit Palin threads anymore until she is a candidate.

You are so delusional, you actually believe this to be a Palin thread.

Well, maybe it is in your head.

By the way, one of your cultists pinged me here. Otherwise I was minding my own business.

You should try it.

Indylindy dislikes Palin, so anybody that upends Palin in her book is OK, so don’t expect anything to make sense of her defense of Bachmann

More and more I am seeing Michele as a self-promoting opportunist.

Yes I like her, but something didn't sit right when she got passed over for any GOP positions, ditto that starting a Tea Party Caucus, we don't need Caucus, or K Street Lobbyist.

My gut feel? She ends up being the staking horse for Sarah and throws her supporters her way. Ditto that Herman Cain.

It may end up being Perry ( Establishment is trying to sell him to us ) vs. Palin.

With all do respect to our friends in Texas, I don't think the country is ready for another Texas Republican. I question how conservative is he, and has he been a politican too long...
