Since we’re asking questions, here are some for you:
Why is Bachmann attacking people who aren’t in the race and NOT attacking threats to conservatism like Mitt Romney who ARE in the race?
Why doesn’t Bachmann grow a spine and attack Palin herself instead of sending hired goons out to squawk on cable news channels?
It’s pretty weak tea to be turning this discussion into one about why Palin is waiting to announce. She doesn’t need to announce on your timetable or anyone else’s.
Just damn.
Rollins needs shown the door. Bachmann needs to say ‘what was I thinking,’ Palin ‘no harm no foul’ and go about taking over the White House and the House. Not bitc# slapping each OTHER!!!
Win the future?
Day one, a series of vile, media like attacks from the Bachmann campaign against Governor Palin, the first major turn into the gutter of the 2012 race, and oddly, it was all focused on the conservative female, not Mitt Romney.
And as long as people are touting Palin as our savior, the only one who can beat Obama I will keep asking when she's going to jump in. I would assume it won't be any time soon because when she does she'll no longer get free media from Fox while being on their payroll. I'm sure all the other candidates would love to get an 'exclusive' on Fox News Sunday while being paid by them at the same time.
Ms. Bachmann:
Fire Rollins TONIGHT or
tomorrow you are Ms. Romney on this site.
Of course you would. LMAO. Ed Rollins is a paid Bachmann operative but that's irrelevant, right? Where is Bachmann's repudiation of Rollins? Answer: There isn't one and won't be one.
Palin Attack - Not You Too Michele!
I couldn't believe what i was reading. Michele Bachmann’s political consultant said what? All the time you have been saying the Governor is a friend. I thought you both stood for the same things. I am upset, surprised and angered that you have someone on your staff saying these things about Sarah. It's bad enough she gets attacked by the left, the liberals, the democrats and rinos but another constitutional conservative like yourself; well at least your staff? I'm stilled stunned by this.
Mr. Rollins must have been speaking on his own. This is all the left needs, to triple down on their attacks on not only the Governor but you as well. I definitely had you as a candidate who i would have no problem casting my vote for; but not so much now. I hope you clear this up Congresswoman. Having a healthy, spirited debate on the issues between you and Sarah is one thing, but if you indeed gave Mr. Rollins the go ahead to attack her, it makes you no better than those already relentlessly vilifying her.
I always looked at you as a cut above the other conservatives; who would not descend into the abyss of attacks on true fellow conservatives. This just doesn't sound like you or something you would condone. If there is no denouncing of Mr. Rollins attacks from you i have no choice but to believe that you agree with him; and this i cannot believe.
“All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.
Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.” Psalm 41:7, 9
Backstabbing &*$%#*(*()&&: "I love you, Mitt.
I'll hire Rollins for you.
We will attack (Gov.) Palin (who helped me) for you."
I think it’s great. Weed out the amateurs now, before the real race begins. Also, shatter a few illusions. Tea partiers need to wake the hell up. Far too trusting.
Evidence? She hired Ed Rollins. Ed Rollins immediately started attacking Sarah Palin. She has had all day to stop it or make a statement or fire him. All we've gotten is a weak statement from a campaign aide that won't cut the mustard. There's your 'evidence', so please stop making yourself look like a dullard by repeating such a silly question.
I'm sure all the other candidates would love to get an 'exclusive' on Fox News Sunday while being paid by them at the same time.
If other candidates were as capable as Sarah Palin maybe they would.
The bottom line for me is that Bachmann’s hiring of turd-brain old retread Rollins gives us a little peek into her EXECUTIVE abilities. It automatically sets me to thinking what other gems she might have in mind for her cabinet and other appointments. Based on this Rollins hiring; it would not surprise me to see her nominate the likes of Alan Simpson as Secretary of State; Susan Collins as Secretary of Defense; Arlen Specter as her first appointment to the Supreme Court; and let your imagination run wild as to the rest of her brilliant choices. NOTE TO SELF: Scratch one Bachmann from POTUS Candidate list!
Fire Rollins TONIGHT or tomorrow you are Ms. Romney on this site.
--------------------------------------------------
My thoughts exactly.
Ms Romney and Cantor’s new play toy.
Bachmann should fire Rollins citing the 11th amendment.
As for Bachmann, she won't win her Congressional seat next year and her fundraising will dry up.
I'll give her a day or so to slap him down; if not, she's off the list and I may work to primary her.
Of course, we could have Bachmann and Palin settle this the old fashioned ("fight like a girl") way -- MUD WRESTLING!!

...just KIDDING, Todd!
