I’m surprised Eddie let her do it. Seriously. Well, credit where it’s due. Kudos to you MB!
Guess they figured it was all too transparent.
I wonder if Romneycare is still off limits for her.

Washington, DC - On the heels of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann signing the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge, Bachmann for President Spokeswoman Alice Stewart issued the following statement in response to Governor Romney's failure to sign the Pledge and defend life:
"Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was proud to sign the SBA List Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge. Protection of the unborn has never been a political issue for her. It is, quite simply, a core conviction from which she has not wavered.
"It is distressing that Governor Romney refuses to sign the SBA Pledge, even while claiming to be pro-life. The excuses for not signing clearly continue the doubts about his leadership and commitment to ending the practice of abortion particularly for a candidate who ran as pro-choice for the Senate and Governorship of Massachusetts. Any Presidential candidate seeking our party's nomination should sign the SBA Pledge and vow to protect life from conception to natural death. Governor Romney should reconsider his decision not to sign the Pledge just as he reconsidered his position on the life issue during the last campaign.
"Congresswoman Bachmann will nominate federal judges who are deeply committed to the Constitution and who will not legislate from the bench. She will also work to defund Planned Parenthood, end taxpayer funding of abortions, and repeal Obamacare and its open door for spending taxpayer dollars for abortion services."
Just curious where Sarah Palin’s statement on Romneycare is? Or is she waiting to jump in until after everyone else does the dirty work of beating him up for her?
So are Palin fans still going to refer to Bachmann as a Romney stooge?
Palin fans? It was Wall Street Journal writers and RiNOsceroid and 'Rat TV pundits who were confidently predicting that Bachmann's whole reason for running was to "qualify" herself to "place" as Mittens's running mate, and serve as a Judas horse to the Tea Party people, to bring them into the RNC's corral.
What price RiNO confidence now?
Obamacare is off limits and that is all I care about. That is all the American people care about.
I haven’t heard from the non candidate bashing Romney for this yet.
I wonder if that means she may be secretly on his side.
You just never know, but it could be. heh

Thanks for posting. I have no doubts about Bachmann’s conservative cred with or without signing a pledge.
Now of course she needs to criticize Romney on CNN , MSNBC and all the rest.
That's strange. You've been posting about Palin's record as governor for over a year now. Yet you don't care about Romney and his record as governor including Romneycare.
LOL!

I have. Do your homework.
It is a shame she needs an integrity boost from outside parties.
:)

Consider that there are numerous classic campaign styles, chosen by the candidate with their campaign manager and advisers, chosen to pursue the goal of winning a campaign or nomination. For instance, one can start out negative on your opponent... and then finish positive. This is effective in races where you have a tough opponent but want to finish with a "clean campaign". Then, there is the opposite - start positive and finish negative - where its not as important to run that "clean campaign", but you need to have your differences fresh on voters minds. Beyond basics, there are dozens if not more variations on overall campaign styles. Being 6 months to go, seems to me its up to Michelle to roll out her campaign as she and her staff see fit. I just hope its effective goal is to come up with a conservative nominee (Michelle, Sarah, Cain, etc) and beat out any mccain/dole/romney mudlers.
And how do you know Bachmann won’t go after Romneycare in the future? She’s only been a candidate for a week. The Iowa caucus isn’t until next January. She has plenty of time to take on Mitt Romney.
