The day after Rep. Michele Bachmann announced her bid for the White House, one conservative group released a glowing review of the presidential candidate’s record.

The Club for Growth, a group that promotes slashing taxes and government spending, released a statement praising Bachmann for her “nearly perfect pro-growth record.”

In a press release, Club for Growth President Chris Chocola expressed satisfaction with the possibility of Bachmann as the nation’s leader.

“After reviewing her record, we are confident that Congresswoman Bachmann would be a pro-growth president,” Chocola said.

Specifically, the group praised Bachmann for her call to reform entitlement programs such as social security and for her commitment to cutting taxes and spending.

NO NO NO, you aren’t suppose to actually look at her voting record! You are just suppose to call her a flake, make stuff up about her, then endless repeat those lies until they are accepted that as “fact”. /s

She has an outstanding record!

That’s all well and good, but Stephanapalous assures us that the media is going to investigate every single one of Bachmann’s 23 foster children. Surely that’s more important and we should wait to see what they find. < /sarc>

But I thought she was a Jimmy Carter liberal just pretending to be conservative.

Bachmann 1000 times more conservative than most democrats and a Trillion times more conservative than Obama.

She is definitely the most consistent Conservative in the race and the more I learn about her the more I seem to like. At this point she has a good chance to get my vote in my local primary and definitely in the fall of 2012 (I’ll vote for just about any Republican over our current idiot).

I think just two minor changes would make her a better candidate. 1. She needs to stop the geographic flubs, the media is frothing at the mouth to catch her on a gaffe (despite the fact they ignore our current Prez who thinks we have 57 states) 2. She needs to have a little more of a sense of humor. She probably could have made a joke of the “flake” comment. Some humor and especially self-deprecating humor goes a long way to diffusing the other side, it also adds a little more humanity to the image.

Just saying.

"She is definitely the most consistent Conservative in the race and the more I learn about her the more I seem to like."

That's what I like about her as well. She consistently comes down on the conservative side, and her conservatism springs from her core beliefs so she comes across very naturally when making counterpoints to standard liberal talking points.

She'd mop the floor with Obama come debate time.
