I love, love, love Michele Bachmann.

That said, if you liked what they did to Sarah Palin, you will absolutely LOVE what the MSM does to Michele.

grrr...

[kindred]

If only conservative men would stand strong on conservative principle much like Bachman and Palin, then I would vote for them.
The GOP man is much like the dem women in so many ways and are not worthy of leading and will probably fail yet again with the deal making that benefits the socialists.

[jacknhoo]

I could not have said it any better. I would vote for Michele over Palin and either of them over any of the current GOP men being courted.

2016 I’d go for the Double R: Rubio - Ryan

[GoCards]

Basically the MSM is telling us that conservative women need not apply.

[GoCards]

Okay let me understand you. You are saying you can not vote for a conservative woman? but wishing men had the balls like these 2 women so you could vote for the man? Is that what you are saying?

>>>>She can raise a ton of money and has national name recognition, but has no legislative record and carries a reputation as a bomb thrower.

Obozo didn’t even have any of that and he got elected.

[hennie pennie]

Representative Bachmann now characterized as a “bomb thrower” — is this a new version of “domestic terrorist”?

[Mr. K]

You had me at “bomb thrower”

[TEXOKIE]

“She can raise a ton of money and has national name recognition, but has no legislative record “

But she does have a legislative record, doesnt she? She’s been in congress long enough to show a vote pattern, hasnt she? I question that premise from the article, that she doesnt have a legislative record.

[Padams]

If her only “negatives” are that she has hired a campaign operative who worked for COD and that she has not authored any legislation that was passed, then she should be at the top of the list of potential GOP contenders. Huck, Mitt, Newt, Palin, etc. should be envious of such a short “negatives” list.

[faucetman]

I love Michele! She could gain legislative gravitas as head of the Tea Party Caucus. If she properly wields the power of that caucus as a voting block to control what legislation and amendments see the light of day, she could become a political power dynamo in short order.

Gang of 14? How about the Tea Party Gang?

[swatbuznik]

Not having authored a bill. Is that really a bad thing? I mean, I’d rather have a person vote against or for the right bills that have been authored by other.

[Mr. K]

Palin/Bachman 2012 - UNBEATABLE TICKET

[Hawthorn]

>> 2016 I’d go for the Double R: Rubio - Ryan <<

Apart from the fact that 2016 isn’t a POTUS-election year, I think you’re way off base:

In spite of the fact that Rubio and Ryan have absolutely sterling qualities in terms of their policy stances, their obvious high IQ’s and their overall “presentability,” neither man has demonstrable executive experience.

Therefore, just like Bachmann, De Mint, Pence and other “congress only” critters, they don’t qualify in my book. Give me a successful governor or successful corporate CEO, and then I may be with you.

[Hawthorn]

Oops! My bad. And my apology. Of course 2016 is a POTUS-election year. What I was thinking was that it isn't the next POTUS-election year.

[dforest]

What I like of this bombthrower is she isn't afraid to state her case to the most scurrilous on any issue.

IMO, she has hardly any negatives.

[reasonisfaith]

If this guy would pay attention to what Bachmann has been saying recently, he would understand that her strength is in her recognition of principle over persona.

I like Bachmann for this reason, and that she is one of those very rare, honest politicians.

[reasonisfaith]

I think it is the inverse—if you liked what Sarah Palin did to the MSM, you will love what Bachmann does to them.
