Bachmann: Why did I endorse Mitt Romney? Two words: Barack Obama
Fox News ^ | May 03, 2012

Posted on 05/04/2012 2:42:57 AM PDT by RDAardvark

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.

Someone got to her after/during her drop from the POTUS race. She's done some incredibly stupid things recently. Like supporting CISPA Internet spying.

She was my Congresscritter... But with the re-Districting... I don't know that she still is.

If he loses the WH which he will, conservatives will take the GOP and flush out the liberal scum from its ranks.

You mean like what happened after the RINO McCain lost his White House bid? The Tea Party took over, and did great in 2010. Then, in the 2012 primary we nominated a conserv... Wait, never mind.

The reason she is WRONG is this simple:

Obama’s Second Term = A United America and GOP opposing every breath he takes.

vs

Romney’s Term = A divided America and GOP with the establishment shoving the same socialism down our throats and saying how “decisive” the tea Party and Conservatives are, all the while telling us “it would be so much worse under Obama”.

Don’t buy that AGAIN people. It will NOT be worse, united against evil than it will be divided within.

Look at the replies to this post and others right now. WE ARE INEFFECTIVE AND IRRELEVANT BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY DIVIDED.

Don’t stay home like 2006 - Get out and work your fingers to the bone... DOWN BALLOT. Just skip the top. Leave it BLANK or vote for Mickey Mouse.

If Romney wins while we are divided, they will have proven they do not need us.

Uh huh.....

242 Republicans in the House

As of one week ago only 104 endorsed; not even half:

This is McCain Part II.

Have fun watching your guy go down in flames. He’ll be lucky to get 40% of the vote.

That’s the reality for you. Deal with it.

Tea Party is where I’m at. 2016 is the LATEST in which I see a conservative President take the helm.

Wow where to start with your two inaccurate posts.

You say not many House Republicans have endorsed Romney and when challenged come bace with not even half.

Well by your numbers, which I think are now larger, about 43% of the Republicans in the house have endorsed Romney. To most people 43% at this point would be a significant number. But not to someone who doesn't like to admit they were inaccurate. However you were inaccurate.

Now to your statement that Romney will be lucky to get 40% of the vote. That is absurd and baring some major 3rd party entry I would be more than willing to make you a substantial bet that he goes over 4)5.

If you want your points to be taken seriously quit distorting the truth to fit you point. Bachmann will be as she has already made herself to be a ‘has-been’.

It’s not any worse. In my view, it’s equal. The two don’t stand for anything measurably different. They’re both anti-life, they’re both liberal in their economic outlook. They both favor statist big government and they both favor the wrong view on healthcare.

However, as a social conservative, and since I believe that social conservatism is the basis for conservatism in general since it teaches us the difference between right and wrong, I can’t support Romney.

Hope the plums are delicious!

Exactly correct. It’d be one thing if there was ANY leadership in Congress from the GOP-e; I might consider holding my nose. But to lemming-ly follow turd #2, just because he’s ‘our’ turd?? That’s as brain dead as the Dems.

Some around here think that Romney, w/ the feckless Congress, will actually turn back the clock: un-pass laws, strip the EPA/NSA/TSA/etc.? PLEASE

At least voting ‘present’ or 3rd party I know I didn’t lend a hand in bringing the Republic to its knees.

The Tea Party as a grass roots movement with a network of loose affiliations is doing great at the local and state levels such as getting rid of Hatch, Lugar and a number of others in the primary process.

Nationally the Tea Party needs to control the GOP establishment in DC in order to elevate conservative candidates. To gain control the TP needs to flush out the liberals that infest the GOP establishment.

Liberals such as Romney had the money to win nationally in the GOP presidential primary but they won’t win against the democrats in the election because Romney is not popular and he is distrusted. He will be lucky to get 40% of the national vote. His negative ads against Obama will not work because basically the democrats don’t care what he says. He has enough negatives from the point of view of independents and conservatives that he will go down in the Fall.

And for Romney to lose is just fine with the GOP establishment because this entire battle has not been about GOP vs. democrat. This has been about GOP-E and TP. The GOP-E wants to preserve their position in the ruling class versus the country class. They can’t keep their position if a real TP conservative is nominated nationally. Hence, Romney is their guy.

Bachmann is disappointing. She sold out. Fine, there are others. She will come around when she sees the TP winning nationally in 2016 but by that time it will be too late for her. She has maxed out her credibility card.

If it does happen we probably need to look no further that the fellow travelers, closet liberals and liberal trolls here to blame.

Which of those categories do you fall in?

You need to quit humping peoples’ legs here on FR and go back to DU. That’s where the people who want 0 reelected hang out. Your constant attempts to get 0 re-elected are embarassing - I point that out because you apparently lack the wit to see it yourself.

Speaking of humping legs... Do you always jump on cue for the big gubmint Socialist establishment naturally, or do you get paid for your “work” ? I figure if you’re going to debase yourself for such an execrable cause, you might as well get a few bucks. As for me, my soul ain’t for sale. Ain’t enough money in the world to pimp for Zero in Whiteface.

drivel

Since you obviously live in a delusional world (you handle gives a pretty good hint) It's not worth my wasting my time on you. Don't you have some 0bama signs to post - might get you out of your mother's basement.
