SPENCER, IA -- Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann said she puts "principles over party" and is prepared, if elected, to be a one-term president. "So be it," she said today.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Nothing in the story says she promised anything of the sort.

I assume she indicated that should an tough issue arise, she will stick to principles, and risk not being re-elected.

[Bedford Forrest]

So now she has taken to negotiating with herself - apparently imitating the weeper and his rino pal over in the senate.

This is like Myth and his “short list” of VP candidates the other day. Gettin’ a little ahead of yourselves, ain’t ya?

It doesn’t look like she pledged to be a one term president.

[The Bronze Titan]

Where did she “pledge” to serve only one term if elected?

[RED SOUTH]

with her empty suite resume , like Obama , she would only serve one term as a loser because DC would eat her alive.

[cripplecreek]

Whatever.

[org.whodat]

Have you always had a hard time reading, the woman is saying she will stick to her principle over party politics even if doing so costs her a second term. A statement of principle and intent is not negotiating.

[McGruff]

Where's the Misleading Headline Alert?

[rabscuttle385]

An actual conservative who hasn’t hopped into bed with RINOs comes along, and FReepers tear her to pieces.

Sigh.

[Kirkwood]

“A statement of principle and intent is not negotiating.”

Its not a pledge either.

[rob777]

"An actual conservative who hasn’t hopped into bed with RINOs comes along, and FReepers tear her to pieces."


Personality over principle?

[skeeter]

They worship some other politician.

Its pathetic. Even as the country crumbles they still don't get it.

[Admin Moderator]

Please quit creating stories that aren’t there.

"An actual conservative who hasn’t hopped into bed with RINOs comes along, and FReepers tear her to pieces.

Yes, it is sad that many FReepers attack Gov. Sarah Palin. That's who you meant, right?

They don't report truth but what they make up as truth.

[Chunga]

Your illiteracy will be your downfall. LOL

[Chunga]

Are you going to retract your moronic, obtuse and misleading parenthetical headline addendum?

[tlb]

>>> They don’t report truth but what they make up as truth.

The Nut Bag Collective misleading was the Op, as usual. Note the Admin Moderator warning.

[lonevoice]

Admin moderator already did. Geesh, some people’s kids, eh?

[Chunga]

The little hit-and-run goofus needs to come back and admit to either illiteracy or duplicity. The admin mod can’t do that for him.

[lonevoice]

Yeah, he should, but we probably shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for him to do it. SOS different day.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I missed the article where the leader of the House Tea Party Caucus came to the defense of the Tea Party members under assault in the press...

Do you happen to have it?

[Cobra64]

Here we go again. Some of the posts on this thread read like something out of the Huffington Post.

To the various Bots, whom would you vote for if the other one dropped dead? Obama?

Grow up.

[ejdrapes]

Not all Freepers, just Palin KADs. Same thing they’re doing to Perry.

[ejdrapes]

Gee, I missed the tweet or facebook post from a certain former governor praising the 22 ‘no’ votes on Boehner 3.0.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bachmann wants to be a leader, she needs to act like a leader.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I have it here right beside my autographed “President Gary Hart” cufflinks.

[gov_bean_ counter]

And it isn't Palin's job to hold up Bachmann's fading campaign.

Principle my behind. Bachmann is the queen of the political calculation.

[gov_bean_ counter]

LOL!

“Please quit creating stories that aren’t there.”

I don’t agree with Rabscuttle on much of anything, but the link he posted from PMSNBC says exactly what he posted. Please help me understand why he is being criticized for the thread. He’s an advocate for Bachmann; that’s fine; I’m not.

The circular firing squad around here is becoming quite disconcerting.

[Chunga]

You're a liar, rabscuttle385. Anyone who makes up a story out of thin air, puts parentheses around it and adds it to a title in an attempt to mislead readers is a troll.

You're a lying, gutless little hit-and-run poster who won't even come back to acknowledge your duplicity when called out.

Pathetic.
