Michele Bachmann needs to connect the dots. She set the table last night at the debate, now she needs to close the noose.
Bachmann attacked Newt for stepping in, when the Republicans were going to take a vote to prohibit using party funds for GOP candidates, who support Partial Birth Abortion. Newt said at the debate, that he wasn't going to support "a purge" in the party. Newt, it's not "a purge". GOP candidates wouldn't be sought out and removed from the party, candidates whose judgment was so poor as to support the barbarism of Partial Birth Abortion just wouldn't get Party funds. David Duke was denounced, when he ran as a Republican in Louisiana and denied Party funds for his racist views. Partial Birth Abortion doesn't cross the line in Newt's opinion?
While you are at it, why not come up with a means to destroy the Republican control of the House and give the RATS a filibuster-proof control of the Senate!
That is one way you can "Send the GOP a strong meassage!"
Fantasy (and drivel)
Hillary’s “descent is patriotic” rant is SEARED into my memory.
ANY debate clip of Bachmann sounds exactly the same to me.
She is a cartoon.
Every candidate who has risen to the top of the heap has done so by attacking Obama and the liberals. This is true of MB when she was riding high after the Ames Straw Poll. True of Perry - who entered on top based on his attacks of Obama as Texas Governor. Ditto’s Cain and then Newt.
Bachmann sinks every time she unleashes her ridiculous attacks - the most notable being her attack on Perry. The partial birth abortion attack on Newt last night was despicable and an over play by 100 fold.
She will probably sink again. What is it they say about insanity and doing the same things but expecting different results?
I think they say “Michelle Bachmann.”
Her claiming he was for infanticide was over the top. She had that in her holster and made a jerk of herself. I wanted to vote for her but her continued attacks of anybody who takes the leads makes her look like another politician who will do and say anything to get votes. That is not conservatism, tell us what you would do.
Pray for America
Rush doesn’t think for me - I remember his advice regarding hillary in ‘08. Trouble is most don’t think for themselves - they need to hear what - they think is a better brain than their own is - says.
He speaks to mainstream America but NOT FOR mainstream America who is out of a job, out of finances, no retirement, etc. Life was different when he was trying to make it on his own. Now his interests are golf and his 3rd or 4th wife. Can you relate?
The only way we could have avoided the Romney nomination is for fiscal conservatives to have focused on who is best able to turn this country around, and supported that person early on. Too many people are one issue voters and lots of people have not realized that the economy and our ability to survive economically is THE issue. I will continue to support Newt, but I know the GOP has won and America has lost. As a result, our country will continue to deteriorate. I hope this election brings down the GOP.
Now that, I might pay money to see. Since the lapels and butt are on opposite sides of the body, MB must be one hack of a contortionist.
Not sure I am willing to subject my mind to such requirements of creative imagination by reading balance of article.................
Bachmann...
“Factually Incorrect”
her legacy, except when she pronouncing that vaccines cause mental retardation when “some mother told me so”
Not Presidential material.
“I’m a hopelessly partisan dreamer, quite prepared to face mockery, but Huntsman continues to slowly rise in New Hampshire. Far better him than Mitt Romney. Far better”
I thought your man Huntsman did very well last night. Intellectually, he’s equal or better than anyone else on stage. Thoughtful answers. Strong on economic issues. Knowledgable on foreign affairs. Tempermentally, OK, a little dull . . . but not irritating like Bachman or Santorium. . . or goofy like Perry.
He’s not my candidate, but I think he’s better than most of the others.
What did she say that wasn’t factual?
Bachmann is toast, along with her bad makeup and awful hairdo.
And it will be SO good to have that witch quit after her upcoming epic fail in Iowa.
What facts did she get wrong? I really want to know.
but she’s a SERIOIUS candidate ! don’t ya know!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
se ya Bachmann!
Newt rose above her level and beat her with her own rhetoric. The audience really responded to the few times FOX broke down and gave Newt a sliver of time. They also gave Romney countless rebuttals and all the time he needed to counter the tough questions given to him, but when Newt tried to counter the attacks on him, they cut him off short, before he could finish his response.
The audience clearly noticed this and cheered Newts classy and dignified answers. The thing FOX could not hide from the audience, is the fact that Newt is the quintessential Statesman. He displays the class and dignity that a President must project at all times. The audience noticed and FOX lost. BIG TIME!
You may be right about the possibility Bachmann could do well in Iowa.
Let’s not forget Iowa shares one of its four borders, with Minnesota.
The two states have much in common, one gets a bit colder.
This is the time for Bachmann to step forward and claim leadership.
Bachmann may claim but it takes more than her claiming leadership. The other part of that equation is the acceptance by the voters and that doesn’t appear to be happening no matter how hard she slams all the other candidates.
Michelle {I am a serious candidate, listen to me} Bachmann, is a bought and paid for mittens bitch.
Her role is to smear Newt or Perry {if Newt slips and perry gains ground} and her reward will to become part of the mittens crew... VP, SecTreas {she is a tax lawyer, and a mother of 5 and a foster mother of 23, and she is 55 years old and has been a "real person for 50 years"}.
Something strange happens to people that keep being pumped up by "handlers" that are being paid big bucks from citizen donations, and they keep telling the candidate how wonderful and wanted and needed are.
The human ego kicks in and what we have to watch ain't pretty.
