The more she talks the more she turns people against her.
That is because the Republican party and folks here don’t want a real conservative. That is the bottom line. For YEARS, people on this site have said let’s have a real conservative (100%), We’ll here you go, Michele is that person. There is not one bone in her body that is not conservative. Nobody wants a conservative. That is the bottom line.
I believe most who post on FR have been supportive of Michele Bachmann.
We are now disappointed that she has gone down this Gardisil rabbit trail.
But this is the risk of saying that a US Representative is ready to become President after only 4 years in office.
BS. Everyone wants a CREDIBLE Conservative. She has lost all credibility.
She hasn’t said she made a mistake yet and corrected this outragous lie.
Standing by a lie is not couragous, it’s just plain stupid.
Not so. Bachmann lost the plot.
She could have legitimately won the argument that conservatives don’t want a leader who signs an executive order to inoculate their children against a sexually transmitted disease. Whether that EO is an opt-in or an opt-out has significance, but less so than the main point of contention: executive orders to inoculate school children against STDs. Whether Perry made this decision because, as he says, he hates cancer, or whether he made this decision because, as Bachmann says, it was a quid pro quo for a campaign donor, doesn’t affect the main point of contention: executive orders to inoculate school children against STDs. Whether the vaccine has potentially serious side effects or not doesn’t affect the main point of contention: executive orders to inoculate school children against STDs.
On the main point of contention, guess what? Perry loses! But, Bachmann couldn’t see this one simple thing, and she’s gone off the rails doubling down on increasingly desperate-sounding side arguments.
Bachmann's strategy of desperation is hurting her campaign, helping Romney’s campaign, and leaving Perry’s campaign relatively unscathed. Her inability to see this simple fact is cementing the general impression that she’s distinctly un-Presidential.
The botom line has nothing whatsoever to do with Bachmann's conservative credentials.
