What in H*ll was she thinking when she hired that washed-up braindead, political cross-dresser Rollins?????? He has already started sliming our Sarah, in public, no less. Goodnight, Michelle - we’ll just remember the good times. Maybe The Willard will take you on as a running mate - he will slime Sarah at the drop of a cue card. And you pull this crap after Sarah came up and campaigned for you in that commie state of yours? Not good, not good at all. You have really blown it, girl.

Not a good sign for a conservative when NBC promotes them.


No it’s not. Kind of like a kiss on the cheek from Michael Corleone.

Wait. I thought there was another woman who might do pretty well. She whom the MSM prefers not to name.


You mean the one that they say they are praying will run against Øbama?

She’s actually taken on everything the democrats could throw at her and won.

I believe she may have had a bit of help from out of state.

Kinda like running for president. Besides she got help from out of state and faced a barrage of attacks from out of state.

I’m not going to seriously consider any congressman, with or without Ed Rollins. Ron Paul was the only congressman with a chance...and he had no chance.

How nice of NBC to tell me...

Right! Like they've got any credibility at all. You just know that NBC wants Bachmann to run. Anyone other than Palin, the one they're really afraid of.

So what happens if she fires Rollins and he goes to work for Palin?

Face it, political strategists are the filthiest critters in the business and finding a clean one is about as likely as bringing home a unicorn mount. As it is Sarah Palin had Randy Scheunemann working for her and he’s tied to Soros. That’s not an attack on Palin, that’s just pointing him out as a pretty standard strategist type. (he no longer works for her. Last I knew he was working for Christine O’Donnel.

Hell I want Bachmann to ditch Rollins myself but I fully expect many of those saying the same to attack her for firing him.

Rollins seemed to do okay (49 States) when he managed Reagan-Bush in 1984. By the way, didn’t Reagan advise us to “never speak ill of a fellow Republican”?

Not Sure she is a Conservative. We have been fooled before.

How many Conservatives have worked for the Democratic Party then read a book and woke up a Conservative. Hmm kinda smells to me.

Is she riding the Coat tails of the Tea party or Selling out to Mitt for an appointment.

Only time will tell IMHO. Let the flames begin.

It sure took a genius to beat Mondale in ‘84.

Oh please................

She hasn't "taken" anything from the Dems or the MSM!

I used to think well of her, but she's made a lot of rather foolish errors; not the least of which was hiring Rollins, a thing that even a lay person knows not to do!

Sarah Palin is THE candidate to beat.

But if she doesn't run, somebody can beat her (probably)

And then she hired Rollins and refused to issue a retraction on his back-stabbing comments concerning Sarah.

She just undid alot of the good she had done up until now.

Wasn’t Ronald Reagan a Democrat before? Didn’t he sign an abortion bill while Governor and INCREASED taxes higher than his predecessor?

Also, when he was President, didn’t he sign into law an AMNESTY BILL for illegal immigrants?

Good luck trying to find the candidate who perfectly fit everything you want.

Bachmann had several days to correct this,
fire Rollins, apologize, and show she is Presidential
material.

RINO, backstabber Bachmann did NOT.

This backstabbing for Mitt Romney now defines the
RINO Bachmann entirely (except for when she worked for
Carter, which probably also defines here, henceforth).

I really don’t care what you worshippers think. You’re a dead ringer for every idiot who worships Obama and ignores reality. (Bachmann’s apology came less that 24 hours later)

Now go call all your little friends to attack so you can help guarentee that I won’t vote for Palin. You clowns are pathetic.
