Bachmann: Why did I endorse Mitt Romney? Two words: Barack Obama
Fox news ^ | May 4,2012 | Fox news

REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN./FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Good evening, Greta. Good to talk to you this evening. VAN SUSTEREN: All right, well, things certainly have changed. So I know that it's no surprise that this candidate -- that this next phase of the election gets rolled out, you are going to see every sound bite you ever made saying something about Governor Romney. You're going to have to answer to it. It's going to be in every ad. And you're going to do it to the other side.

So tell me, you called him a frugal socialist. Now what are you going to do? How do you -- how do you support him now? BACHMANN: Well, of course I can support him. Two words, Barack Obama. That's our alternative. We have President Barack Obama or we can have President Mitt Romney. It's very easy for me to come forward and support Mitt Romney because we simply have to win the election. He is our nominee. This week, we saw Newt Gingrich drop out of the race. And what I've said from the very beginning, Greta, is that I want to be a unifying voice to bring our party together at the right time. I've spent a long time working behind the scenes, trying to draw in people from the Tea Party, evangelicals, social conservatives. We all have to come together.

And if you think "two words barack obama" consists of two words, then you need to repeat the 1st grade of your exclusive private schools.

I’m not voting for a GOP candidate selected by Democrats in a flawed ‘open primary’ system.

I disagree that patriots such as Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney are politicians that put party over principles.

Thank God, the God Santorum knows little about, that we have a strong fiscal conservative as a candidte. Those of you kissing up to Santorum ignired the truth that he was a Senate whhip while the republican spend llike democrats ANF he lost his senate race by 17%. We that know him well do not like the man. He is a fellow Penn State alum but I could never vote for a man who refused to fight for fiscal conservatism during 16 years in the senate.

My comments on Santorum’s religeous beliefs are based on the words that come from his mouth. I never once heard the words or spirit of my master Jesus Christ. He is so very judgemental, yet he has major deficiencies of hus own. Behind Obama, he was the 2nd most devisive candidate.

“And if you think “two words barack obama” consists of two words, then you need to repeat the 1st grade of your exclusive private schools.”

You left out the colon, which kills your point.

Who? Ron Paul? Because Romney sure isn’t a fiscal conservative.

Here: “two words: barack obama”. Still four words, a colon and two quote marks.

Unfortunately for you, Internet doesn’t come with a laugh track like TV, so most jokes just don’t register.

The only thing Mitt Romney has going for him is that he is not Barrack Obama.

I would add that his organization is also just as mean, nasty, and deceptive as the Chicago mob that props Obama up.

“Why did I endorse Mitt Romney? Two words: Barack Obama”

That *is* an endorsement.

Would you rather have a paper cut or be burned alive in boiling oil? You’d be very motivated to choose one over the other!
