Is it just me, or were Bachmann and Santorum trying to simultaneously take credit for things done in congress in the 90s while trying to make sure Newt (who, um, was ONLY the DAMNED SPEAKER) was part of the problem?

I dont think Bachmann was even there in the 1990’s. Santorum’s criticism of Newt was a bit weird but I guess he had to do it as he was trying to take credit for the same things. I guess Santorum was just getting desperate because if he doesnt place at least #3 in Iowa his campaign is completely done.
It was just you.;) You might be right about Santorum, but Bachmann wasn't elected to the House until 2006.
And Santorum's point that Bachmann hadn't "won" during that time, IE prevented either the bailouts, raising the debt ceiling, or Obamacare, didn't impress me. I doubt he could have done much better under those circumstances.

Actually, it’s just Santorum and Newt.
So Newt balanced the budget, passed welfare reform, and was responsible for 4.2% unemployment? The man was only the house speaker with one vote.
His talking points are coming right out of the Clinton reelection playbook.
