Great cover story. I listened to the tele-townhall she did with Tea Party Nation and she was great. Long detailed answers on anything and everything from the patriot act to the fair tax. Same at her townhall event in Rock Hill, South Carolina. I hope she does lots of townhall events because that setting really seems to work well for her.

I have long theorized that to be a Republican in Minnesota, you or your mom has to have been born in Iowa.

Consider the source.

Is there any Bachmann thread you won't spam?

Make that South Dakota and you'd be quite accurate. :)

I’m curious how posting a National Review cover on a thread where you yourself mentioned a National Review cover constitutes spam. You really are taking your pity party routine to new levels of absurdity.

Watch for ejdrapes to start whining. He/she loves living in an echo chamber.

Great cover, and “Daughter of Liberty” is a wonderful tag.

Another thought - raising 5 plus 23 children. That’s real executive experience.

“It’s not too late,” says Michelle. She’s right, but it is going to be a close call. We are on the edge. Fight like a girl - a principled, authentic, conservative American girl - and we may make it.

First, it was not spam.

Second, BOTH Ms. Bachmann (Rollins-controlled backstabber)
and National Review are for a “President Romney”.
Yup. They both said so. Bachmann just last Sunday.
That cover shows the other.

Third, has Ms. Bachmann publicly apologized yet
for attempting to smear Gov. Palin?
Or for then condoning Rollins?
Or for then triangulating herself on the MSM
using the very same word (which proves SHE was in on it)?

Reminds me of the jab Harry Truman said about Thomas Dewey
when called him “The little man on the wedding cake”

Did NRO take their cover from this Bachmann-smitten-by-Mitt photo?

I agree 1000%. Keep her away from the national MSM interviews until her message is polished and focus on her strengths.

This thread is about a cover story on Michele Bachmann. What does Mitt Romney have to do with that? Nothing. It’s just another spam by Diogenesis as trying to portray Bachmann as a stalking horse for Romney.

You can keep posting that photo of Romney and Bachmann but it just makes you look pathetic. The only people who think Bachmann is a stalking horse for Romney are Palin KADs who will tear down anyone not named Palin. Sarah Palin has class; the same cannot be said for some of her supporters.

Yes, the more she does these types of events the better she’ll get. I hope her advisers tell her to stay of national TV for now and only do local or conservative tv/talk radio.

First, Wallace and Bachmann BOTH want “President Romney”.

So, second, Bachmann is absolutely Romney’s trojan horse
(also set up by him, apparently).

Great article. FTA: “Michele agrees. From that moment, her pro-life and pro-family values began to crystallize into a firm political worldview. After years of seeing politics as partisan scraps, Bachmann began to notice a difference between the Democrats she grew up with in Waterloo and the monolithic Left running Jimmy Carter’s Washington.” ... If more people would just realize, that the democrats of the past are not the democrats of today, they would turn away from their hard core democrat stance. There are so many who just vote the party, and have for many, many years and they are not aware that times have changed.

Bachmann sucks because she got her picture taken with Romney and John Wayne Gacy was born in Waterloo. So, there! HA!
