Gregory Scolds Bachmann for Listening to Public Opinion on Debt Ceiling

[Psalm 73]

"....because representatives are supposed to represent the people that they serve. The people that they're serving are saying, "You guys don't have it figured out. Stop spending money you don't have.""

Spot on.
And BTW, David, she also happens to be a very brilliant US tax attorney, so she may just know a little bit more about economics than you do.

Our candidates SHOULD talk to all media, take them on at every corner. If they don’t have the brains or guts to do it, they should not run.

[TigersEye]

Commies hate the idea of representative government.

[Paperdoll]

Gregory proved his head is as thick as a castle wall. What a fool! What a blatantly rude fool! He should be cleaning toilets rather than taking up precious air time!
The stupid MSM only helps to show up Bachmann’s credulity than hurting her.

[forgotten man]

MR. GREGORY: ...let me just, let me just take you through it. It wasn’t just the president of the United States, it was also the chairman of the Federal Reserve, it was the Treasury secretary, it was your entire...

REP. BACHMANN: And they’ve done such a smashing job for us, haven’t they?

Priceless!

[HwyChile]

To hear all the Palin cheerleaders tell it, Bachman only speaks in political sound bites and cannot answer questions from reporters (See the CNN hit piece thread on Bachman put on here by the Palin cheerleaders). Of course, if you go actually watch the CNN hit piece, it does not show that at all, which is about one would expect from the lying liberal MSM.

Agreed. What doesn't kill them makes them stronger.

[HwyChile]

“Until I hear that answer I’m personally going to treat Bachmann’s vote against raising the debt ceiling as nothing more than political posturing.”

She has already stated that she would cut entitlements like Paul Ryan. That is what has to be cut, no two ways about it.

[Mouton]

I wish any of the candidates who has no or little chance when given one of these argumentative questions by the like of Gregory or any of the rest of the street punk media, gets out from their podium and coldcocks the SOB. The could say as the questioner is picking themselves up off the floor: now you have heard from the right.

[cripplecreek]

When Pawlenty started with his “What has she done” crap I was thinking “What have the successful people done over the past 5 years”?

Her success has been standing firm in the face of overwhelming odds. Going along to build a record of success would have been her failure.

In the end, I believe her in my gut.

“And there’s a lot of people who said that” the old Katey Couric line.

[wardaddy]

We have Sarah Harpies here....no way

Btw....do a little googling...see who some of the ring leaders supported in 2008

Like they should have any credibility

[SoldierDad]

When Obozo was first elected the Lame Stream Media was all over itself fawning about how the “People” had spoken out for “Hope” and “Change”. Now that the “People” have turned against the current occupier of the WH, they don't know how to handle it.

Gregory’s wife likely helped cook Fannie Mae’s books, which resulted in a huge phony profit. For this she probably got a huge bonus with the understanding that a sizable chunk of it would go to Bwaney Fwank, Doddering Fool Dodds and Bwana Zerobama campaign funds.

But but but Obama just said he’s touring America to get grassroots ideas on how to improve the economy

Now that is hilarious

[HwyChile]

LOL. I like Palin, but she either needs to get in or get out. She is doing damage to conservatives by not making up her mind. We have Palin folks who “hope” she gets in and will bash Bachman in the mean time. That is going to cause the RINOs (Romney and Perry) to run away with the GOP nomination and leave out any chance for a more conservative candidate like Bachman or even Palin if she decides to run.

TWO THINGS Michele Bachmann has proven :

• 1. She will act as a REPRESENTATIVE of We the People.
• 2. She will not cave when the going gets tough.

All the other candidates "promise" these things. She alone, with her debt ceiling vote, has *proven* it. In a short period of time, I have become a huge fan of Mrs. Bachmann. And I say that as a Packer fan talking about a Viking fan.

[Ohioan]

Gregory does not understand the difference between Keynesian economics & the economics that armed these United States with the most successful economy that the world has ever known, before the Keynesian onslaught began to compromise that achievement..

He appeals to experts. Conservatives rely on experience. It is the age old battle between the "Gods" Of The Copybook Headings & the Pied Pipers of Socialism. (See Kipling's astute but concise analysis: The Gods Of The Copybook Headings; or to understand & avoid the folly that Gregory apparently accepts, A Better Way [How To Avoid Economic Crises!]

The Founders intended that the Representatives reflect the current will of the people, and that the Senators would take a longer view reflecting the will of the State Governors. So she is doing what she should do and the a*hole reps who voted for Obamacare against the will of the people were in the wrong.

Good point re Kipling’s poem. The copybook headings are Laws of Life that are violated at great risk.
