Bachmann declined to answer the last question: “If you choose to not pursue the presidency, what would you think about a Sarah Palin attempt?”

“Considered a Tea Party favorite....”

I am sick of reading that...

I’m Tea Party and she isn’t my favorite.

What an evil vile women. How dare she not answer a moot question about a potential opponent who isn't even running. Shame. Shame.

This is the smartest thing I have seen Bachmann do. Why should she take the bait to bash another conservative, let alone answer a hypothetical within hypothetical?

Some of this rings a little hollow; until recently she was a member of conservative Lutheran denomination (WELS), but now she has joined the ELCA (larger, pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality).

I don't know if that's a bad thing. She says something nasty about Palin, she loses votes. She says something nice about Palin, she loses votes (If Palin is that good, why should I vote for you?).

Best not go there until after Palin declares.

Think of McLame and "There is nothing to fear from an Obama presidency."

I still like Michele Bachmann even though I think Ed Rollins is an ass and she should dump him. Michele is the one who found $105 billion hidden in the ObamaCare bill for implementation. Nobody else has shown the guts to call for defunding it. $105 billion is far more savings than defunding Planned Parenthood, NPR and the other symbolic stuff.

That being said, if my choices come down between Bachmann and Palin, I'm going to give the nod to Sarah for two reasons:

  1. Executive experience.
  2. She makes the enemedia scream more.

She's running to be Mittens VP on the *Anybody but Obummer* ticket.
The ongoing establishment plan to herd conservatives, when the time comes, to Mittens.

Run Sarah run......Please.

I view this as Bachmann’s limited ability to think and express herself as compared to Palin. Palin is better at those things than anyone else out there. Were there a Palin-Bachmann debate, I pity Bachmann. In that debate Palin would destroy her in a nice, respectful sort of way.

Still a Jimmy Carter Democrat, eh, Michelle?

Et tu, Michelle?

Alas, poor Michelle, I knew thee well!

Nothing wrong with a little competition; in fact, Palin wants there to be competition, a wide open primary open to all comers with no anointing before hand from any establishment types, The Lame Stream Media, Republican, Conservative, or Tea Party.

Lets here them all, give them all a stage, let the free and open market of ideas happen. Whoever emerges will be the stronger for it.

“I said to the undertaker

Undertaker please drive slow

For this lady you are carrying

Lord I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye Lord bye and bye

There`s a better home a waiting

In the sky Lord in the sky”

I would be curious to know what Presidential contender Michelle Bachmann had to say about faith and family, but, alas, the article as posted was edited into to a few sound bytes related to a hypothetical “gotcha” question. Faith and family as serious issues? No! We need to bloviate over feelings and inferences regarding an individual who, to date, has not even declared. Now pardon me while I continue to seek information that matters.

IF and I say IF you are all saying Bachmann stinks now. Big IF then not much is left but a civil war. I;m a bit lost on what Palin wants. So if, no help from Ed Rollings, you all are now against the best conservative in the house. God Save tthis nation. It’s either Herman Cain or bust until Palin gets in. Then Cain is toast right?

What are you all talking about? Bachmann gave a pretty nice response:
“Bachmann: Governor Palin is a friend and I know if she runs she will bring a unique background to the field.”

It seems that the original poster is try to sow division in the field. Divide and conquer?
