She’s in last-gasp/grasping-at-straws mode.

If she fails in Iowa, she’s out.

You’re very welcome. I thought that Prof. Jacobson displayed good, common sense to support his reasoning in choosing Speaker Gingrich. I like the fact that he neither ignores nor exaggerates the previous mistakes made by the candidate. He balances the good with the bad and is able to see the BIG picture. He also understands the truth that there is NO perfect candidate....and never will be.

All these attacks are going to really depress turnout for who ever manages to survive the nominating proccess. Our candidate will battle Obama with bleeding wounds in their back. We are really making things way to easy for Obama and the Rats. And if we field a weak candidate at the top do not expect good results further down the ticket. If this (slime/smear/attack) keeps up I can see the rats holding the Senate and retaking the House.

Gingrich has, for the most part, held his fire against his challengers and taken aim at the media. So far, it’s been a winning strategy.

Bachmann has done the exact opposite. She’s joined in on nearly every media attack against her opponents and it’s making her look very small.

Bachman needs to make these accusations face to face with Gingrich, perhaps in a debate.

It may feel comfy to remain filled with half truths which support your dislike for Newt Gingrich, but on the off chance that there are more open readers, here's why Newt made that stupid error: he has said on Special Report that he had hoped to have conservatives in the global warming deabte rather than just giving the issue over to the democrats. He has siad the photo op and ad were just 'dumb', that he was ambushed and should have known better. That is the reality of the couch scene ... and that was the single biggest drawback I had over Newt, which he answered quite satisfactorily for me, both in the debate and in that lengthy Special Report interview with Bret Baier's 'team'.

here's the interview:

At about minute seven http://sheya.com/2011/11/08/newt-gingrich-on-special-report-center-seat/

And here are a couple of videos showing that Newt learned from that experience, which is far more important than the dumb move to start with:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-NHyfo-Mt8&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtIwM8FK56A&feature=related

Newt.org is a good place ot start if one wants to see what Newt Gingrich's agenda for America's future looks like and what he will seek to accomplish if elected President.

Michele is always first out of the gate with attacks on the new front-runner.

Agree. I'm so sick of her I'm starting to hope she loses her House seat.

What a whiny, desperate excuse for an adult she is. I cannot wait for her 15 minutes to be up.

I honestly don’t know if she “lied.” She may have simply regurgitated this attack line from something she heard or read. She SHOULD know better.....or someone on her staff should.

Unfortunately for her....the buck stops at her desk.

“Michele is always first out of the gate with attacks on the new front-runner”

And she is usualy right.

Newt is not the answer. Notwithstanding his liberalism, he is also corrupt and folds like an origami when pressed against the wall. He would be easier to defeat than Juan McNuts and therefore is not acceptable.

Bachmann is done. She will be crushed in any kind of fight with Newt. She just lost her chance.

Half truths? Do I believe what is written, or my lying eyes?

Did I NOT see him TEAM UP WITH THE ENEMY ON A COUCH PROMOTING GLOBULL WARMING?

Exactly! I fell out with her when she poured salt on Herman Cain’s wounds inflicted by the bimbos and Gloria Allred. She managed to get Pawlenty out of the race. She was doing well until she started acting like a desperate housewife. I’m glad GOP Primary voters saw her for the b**ch she is early enough. That’s why she’s in the low single-digits. Not one candidate piled on her when she confused John Wayne (actor) with John Wayne Gacy the pedophile and serial killer. Or when she wished Elvis a “Happy Birtday” on the anniversary of his death. Or when it was revealed her husband’s had received tons of money from the Government. Or when the “Young Turks TYT Network” raised the question about her husband possibly being gay; even ran a video to that effect.

I lost all of the respect and admiration I once had for Bachmann quite some time ago.

All this time I thought it was Ed Rollins that was responsible for backstabbing Palin. I see that I was wrong. Bachmann has exposed her inner bitch.

I see the words of a desperate loon that will NEVER be living in the White House.

The only candidate I want to see this field attack is Obama.

And Romney.

Eventually, I hope, they all will do what’s right and give their support to the strongest nonRomney candidate.

Otherwise we get Mitt.

He was also the chief author of the individual health care mandate and that is what is (now) known as Obamacare.

What does she mean by that? Gingrich wasn't in Congress when that was written.
