For the life of me I can not understand what posssed Bachmann to hire rollins and then to attack Palin on his first day. Never made sense either action.

I think the more we see of bachmann the less we will like her. she doesn’t seem to be wearing well.

I was more interested in the London gay dog show.

Elton’s pooch is competing. I hear Elton’s dog told Barney Frank’s dog that he was unserious.

Ramirez is link-only.

[Lakeshark]

That she didn't fire him or bring him publicly to the woodshed surprised me. Attacking someone personally like he did, someone who had stumped and raised money for her is just beyond the pale.

I've always liked her as a congress critter, never said an unkind word about her, but the more I see of her the more I dislike what she's doing with her campaign.

Her unwillingness to attack Romney care when given the opportunity sealed my distrust for her.

[Diogenesis]

Thank you, AM. Figures something THAT good is illegal.

==================================================

Bachmann had WEEKS to address these matters.

Perhaps it is her cloning by Jimmy Carter.

Click here for a cartoon so good, it is illegal to post (Ramirez).

[Lakeshark]

Hey, you made me laugh.

Keep that sense of humor, that was good.

[Diogenesis]

Unfortunately for Ms. Bachmann (whom I liked
as recently as a couple of weeks ago)
there IS evidence of backstabbing,
the attempted coverup, ignoring,
and manipulation of that backstabbing,
and more.

Do you have anything to mitigate the evidence?

Bachmann's relationships with Rollins and Romney
are NOT mitigation.

BTW, speculation considers hypotheses
- which is a good thing.

[Lakeshark]

A most excellent cartoon at the link!

yeap. and I didn't like her dodge of the abortion question the the debate. She has been for abortion in the case of rape, incest and the life of the mother. but when asked directly on the matter she gave a politcal answer that seemed to suggest she was totally against abortion in all circumstances.....

Republican U.S. Reps. Michele Bachmann, Chip Cravaack and John Kline and Democrat Collin Peterson are among 173 congressional co-sponsors of H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. Federal law prohibits government funding of abortions except in some cases including incest and rape, but H.R. 3 seeks to limit the exceptions to cases of “forcible rape.” In an article titled, “The House GOP’s Plan to Redefine Rape,” Mother Jones reports on the bill and includes analysis from Laurie Levenson who teaches criminal law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles: The bill hasn’t been carefully constructed, Levenson notes. The term “forcible rape” is not defined in the federal criminal code, and the bill’s authors don’t offer their own definition. In some states, there is no legal definition of “forcible rape,” making it unclear whether any abortions would be covered by the rape exemption in those jurisdictions. Peterson is among ten Democratic co-sponsors of the bill.

So much news, so little time. The London Gay Dog Show and now, Huntsman is making his big announcement.

I’ll stick with the dog show.

[Lakeshark]

I thought his announcement was AT the gay dog show........

[dforest]

It should’ve been. More people would have noticed.

He said something like he feels my pain. I seem to remember hearing something like that before.....

[dirtboy]

So far:

** crickets **

[Lakeshark]

If she were my candidate, and what she did was defensible, I'd be in there trying to mount a reasonable argument to those three questions of mine (and this new one).

**crickets**
can get very loud in their own way........

Bachmann only coopted the Tea Party movement on the orders of Karl Rove who plucked her from the backbenches of the Minnesota state legislature and funded her campaign for the House in 06 and personally campaigned for her.

She supports ethanol subsidies and has recieved with her family over 250k in farm subsidies through a family trust for a farm they own.

Michele Bachmann wrote several letters to Bush adm in 2007 advocating a presidential pardon for Frank Vennes who was a large donor to her , Norm Coleman and Tim Pawlenty. Vennes pleaded guilty and no contest to federal charges of money laundering, cocaine and firearms trafficking in 1987.

Bachmann , who used to be a liberal , organized for Jimmy Carter in 76. Now she has Ed "walking around money" Rollins managing her campaign. Rove and the Bush people are working behind the scenes to nominate Romney and made a deal with Bachmann to split the Tea Party vote for the VP spot. That is why Bachmann won't critisize Romney on Romneycare.

Bachmann has no experience as a mayor or governor and has no business experience. Furthermore , she has no legislative success to show for. Bachmann is an emty suit who says the right things for her base , much like Obama in 07.

Last but not least , why is the leftist media all of the sudden helping Bachmann. All of the sudden they are giving het good press ...just like McCain.
