I totally agree, she needs to move off those talking points which she somehow managed to shoe-horn into the debate this week.

One problem I have with Bachmann is that she does play fast-and-loose with the facts and truth as jerk Pawlenty accused.

The family farm subsidy and income thing has never been explained. She said matter-of-factly she didn't earn money from it yet reported earnings in her congressional disclosures.

She stumps that she's been unalterably opposed to increasing the debt ceiling but that's really just pandering. The fact is she signed on to the Cut, Cap & Balance pledge providing it also repealed ObamaCare. In other words, even Bachmann had a price for raising the debt ceiling.

I'm not keen on her penchant for prevarication.

n 30 years only 3 people have won Ames Straw Poll & IA caucus, & only 2 of those have won GOP nomination. SC, right every year since ‘80

Bachmann wins the straw poll. Oh boy!
