If she kicks this Putz to the curb soon, than maybe this was all just a big misunderstanding, if not.......
>> Michele Bachmann ... has been an attorney
Rollins is marketing that as a *plus*??!? ROFL!
Poor judgment!
My opinion of her has certainly gone down in the past 24 hours.
That is why someone way outside the belt way and not a political hack is so appealing That is Sarah Palin
Grrr. Anyone have contact for Ed Rollins. Nice he dumps and runs
I agree. I think republicans are making a huge mistake if they think that they can win in 2012 by trashing Sarah Palin. It would be like a democratic candidate thinking he can win by trashing black people.
Michelle was just filling the vacuum.
Makes me wonder how sharp she really is
I'd reserve judgment to see if she puts a muzzle on Rollins
“The way of the RINO”
“Hiring the same people that have resulted in the RINO infestation is the path to more RINOS and more RINO/Socialism.”
This isn’t too hard for a hick like me to figure out, so what does that say about MB? Looks like she’s part of the problem too.
Remember she ran for the Republican Conference Chair position after the November election but Boehner and Cantor slapped her down. As a consolation, they assigned her to the House Intelligence Committee.
Bachmann to Intelligence Committee
Soon after (in January), Bachmann's staff appeared in South Carolina and Iowa and began slamming Palin during meetings with local GOP organizers and chairmen.
A deal was cut somewhere, and Bachmann's buddy Steve King was undoubtedly a part of it since he is pretty much her shadow.
Mitt / Bachmann .. just hope she’s a better shot than cheney.
ed rollins has become a bob shrumesque character, she probably got his services cheap.
oh well, that’s baseball.
I have not been happy with Michelle Bachmann.
She was a terrific force in congress for her last couple of terms, and I donated to her campaign last year. But since then, I have been disappointed. I expected her to lead the Freshman Tea Partiers in congress and put pressure on the leadership to honor the election.
Instead, she has pretty much dropped out of sight in her congressional dealings. Boehner has pulled one boner after another, and Bachman has done nothing to show him up.
Now she hires Ed Rollins. What that says to me is that she is “moving to the middle.” Very, very disappointing. We elected her for a reason, and she doesn’t seem to get it.
She is in too much of a hurry to climb the career ladder. I’m afraid that will simply make her another fading star, like so many others who just wouldn’t wait until they were ready and had EARNED it.
Trashing ‘Cuda kills the deal.
If she kicks this Putz to the curb soon, than maybe this was all just a big misunderstanding, if not.......
Update on legalinsurrection.blogspot.com: “Update: Ed Rollins is on the Chris Matthews show as this update is being written, and is going out of his way to belittle Palin, including saying that Palin “”doesn’t matter if she doesn’t run.” Rollins also jumped on the Paul Revere controversy. According to Rollins, Palin “has the movie star quality but it doesn’t go very far.”
*** Hiring Rollins is an enormous mistake for Bachmann. It could be campaign killing. The people who hate Palin are the same people who hate Bachmann, and no amount of trashing of Palin by Rollins will change that.*** “
I agree with the Blogger. I don’t know what in the world is going on with Michele Bachmann. It’s not looking good. She needs to get it together.
Cynic that I am (I’m a veteran of the DukeLax Frame), I’m not discounting the possibility that Bachmann may have been put into the race by the Rove/Mittens/RINO combine with an eye toward pulling votes away from Palin.
The hiring of Rollins to serve as an attack sock-puppet makes the theory even more likely.
I’m absolutely convinced that is what happened with the Fred Thompson thing in 2008. His role was to keep conservatives uncommitted and off-balance, then pull out after it was too late to coalesce around another conservative.
He performed exactly as he was supposed to.
Anyone have an E-mail for Bachmann, I wan’t to let her know how I feel about this.
Rollins learned nothing from shooting his mouth off 20 years ago about “walking around money.” When you have Rollins in your campaign, you can be certain that Rollins will be the issue.
Working with Ed Rollins is like swimming with a 50 pound lead weight hanging from your neck.
Ed Rollins is liberal garbage!
