Congresswoman Michele Bachmann says she will not run for re-election in 2014, ending her tenure as the representative from Minnesota's sixth congressional district after four terms.

In a video released on her website early Wednesday , Bachmann says that, in her opinion, if presidents can only serve eight years that length of time is sufficient for her to serve in Congress.

Conservative women are the least protected of any group in America. Leftists subject them to the most vile, misogynistic attacks and the media and the supposed “feminists” either stand idly by or cheer them on. And the GOP-e does little to defend them.

Thanks for the reminder. The day after Mark Levin asked her last year if she was getting any RNC or RCCC help, and she replied, “No,” I got a fundraising call from the RNC.

The jerk assured me she was getting RNC $ for her campaign. I called him the liar he was, a few other expletives, and hung up. Grrr.

I’m doubtful that she can win a statewide contest.

I am SO sad to hear this. We need MORE Michele Bachmanns, not less.

Anyone know why she's not running? I wonder what her future plans are?

A true Conservative and believer in Citizen Government not career Government. Think maybe some career Dems and Dems holding Republican Office will do the honorable thing??? Na, don’t think so, what was I thinking?

Won’t lose the seat — any other conservative could easily hold it down. Romney carried it by 15 points even as she squeaked by.

*************

Strange things happen in political elections. Bachmann won by about 1.25% out of something over 355,000 votes cast.

Romney won the CD 18 in Florida where he got somewhere around 6,000 more votes than West. West would have won easily if he could have kept the Romney votes.

Instead they will wait until they get in power, and put their spin on it, to re-invent it in their E-GOP image, rather that return liberty back to US.

Of course, they are. It's their plan, designed by the Heritage Foundation 20 years ago.

She is busy defending ethics charges. She squeaked by last time and with her current problems probably figured time to go. She will not run for Senate.

I prefer to take her at her word RATHER than to regurgitate the leftist meme. Your longevity here on FR is amazing. I truly am surprised you have not been zotted yet.

Bachmann outspent her opponent 7 to 1 in the last election. Exactly how much money does she need?I have a crazy theory that she only barely won re-election because she is not well liked, not because of some nefarious Rove plot.

If the GOP says its going to fund a candidate then they should fund him or her. Maybe I heard wrong but I recall Bachmann didn't outspend her Dem challenger. He had the DNC spending tons while the RNC just watched on the sidelines.

Puts her in the same class as George Washington. Mark Steyn speaks about this in After America. How America has its permanent political class of Congressmen who may as well be dictators they have been in office for 2 or 3 generations.

What a shame. Too bad MN is so socialist or she could run statewide.
