I agree, the idea of Bachmann being a Romney plant takes some creative thinking. I don’t get it. That in itself would be risky planning. Bachmann is perfectly capable of standing on her own two feet and could easily upstage Romney.
Look, I am NOT criticizing Mitt Romney for employing Michele Bachmann as his stalking horse. This is a political strategy that has been around for years.
And I am NOT criticizing Bachmann for being one; she is entitled to be one.
But what disturbs is that the “vast right-wing conspiracy” has brought the two people together and has not told the Tea Party or conservatives of their intention for Bachmann to bleed away conservative votes from Palin in order to hand the nomination to Romney.
If conservatives and TP supporters want Palin’s conservative support bled away in this manner so be it. But they should know before they vote Bachmann’s intentions, don’t you think?
