Are you serious? Wanting more info about a POTUS candidate makes me "left?" By throwing accusations my way, I assume you are afraid of something in MB's background as well.

I want it all out there in the primaries...I'm tired of October surprises ...that always hurt the Repub.

I don't have a favorite candidate and I want all the info I can get before I have to pick one. If you have a problem with that, it's not my problem!

The Tea Party you "remember" really never was the idealized construct any of us desire it to be. Those who lead and seek to speak as "The Voice of the Tea Party" are cut from the same cloth as those doing the same in any other political party/movement in history. They are the same flawed human beings each of us encounter in our daily activities.

I'm thinking of the rally in Philadelphia a couple of years ago. Had that breath-of-fresh air quality.

You are quite correct of course. I was caught up in the idea of the grassroots folks being the voice of the party, and that candidates should be listeners, not talkers as it were.

Yes, humans are flawed. Sometimes we conservatives vet our candidates a bit harshly. The left would push a kiddie molester as a candidate, and we expect ours to be perfect. Beating up our candidates over trivial things, while the left institutes 'radio silence' on candidates whom they know are greatly flawed.

The left essentially owns the First Amendment. We need to take it back.

This country is so polarized that I think that there is going to be a showdown. Call it irreconcilable differences. The left controls all things needed to keep our Constitutional Republic viable. Of course, they don't want that form of government. Big trouble coming.

Where was your self righteousness when Palin had Soros people on her campaign?

That's a bloody lie, and you know it.

I agree with your response without reservation but would offer one comment about the excerpt above. If a candidate fully followed the "listener" mode, we would quickly begin to question the candidate's Leadership quotient or ability to translate philosophy/principles into concrete proposals.

BTW, I especially agree with your third paragraph.

No! Where did you get that?

I want more info on her involvement with the foster kids she claims she "raised." Some have said she used them as baby-sitters for her own kids.

We know foster homes are temporary...why does she claim to have "raised" 23 (or whatever) foster kids? Did she adopt any or did they come and go? There could be a real embarrassment with some of them...I would like it all out there now! Did she and her husband get paid a lot of $$$ as foster parents?

She has raised questions about finances already...something about her husband's or FIL's farm subsities.

Surprise, surprise, a hit piece on Michele Bachmann from a pro-Palin website. Obviously C4P must be afraid of Bachmann if they’re attacking her.

And how sad that they would go after the most conservative candidate who has announced so far. What are you afraid of C4P?

Randy Scheunemann

Maybe you shouldn’t run your mouth while willfully ignorant.

Like I said, I was aware of it but was adult enough to see it as part of the politics in the country so it wasn’t a big deal. The only reason I mention it now is to show your double standards.

Why do you put the word raised in quotes? And why do you use the word claimed? The claims s he used them as baby sitters for her own kids have come from far left publications like Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Salon, etc. I thought Freepers were smarter than to believe the crap peddled on those websites.

Good point. What we would have is decisions based on poll numbers, which we have discovered is a terrible idea.

Randy Scheunemann

Randy Scheunemann is hardly "Soros people." He was the ONLY member of the McCain campaign who stood up to Schmidt and Wallace, and was fired for his loyalty to Sarah. She then hired him to help her with her Hong Kong speech. His firm (and not him personally) did a SINGLE small DEMOCRACY project in BURMA for a Soros-funded outfit in DC, but that was it. Since then, Sarah has not engaged him or his firm in any other capacity.

Ed Rollins, on the other hand, is a notorious RINO hitman, with an extensive and well-documented record of attacking Sarah and the TEA Party. That MB even considered hiring him to run her campaign speaks volumes about her character, integrity, and ambition. Get YOUR facts straight, bub, before you shoot off your blowhole.

Why do you put the word raised in quotes?

Quoting her...her word; used in TV comments before she declared. Do I remember the date, location? No. I thought it weird when she used that word. If you have a problem with it, talk to her!

The claims she used them as baby sitters for her own kids have come from far left publications like Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Salon, etc. I thought Freepers were smarter than to believe the crap peddled on those websites.

I thought FReepers were smart enough to know by now that it doesn't matter WHERE it comes from, if it's out there, it's out there! True or not, it will be blown up and made into a national security issue. IMO, better now than later!

I want all the info I can get. Now! If you or others prefer to proceed in ignorance, that's your choice.

Get off your high horse because I don't even want to understand not wanting all the info you can get...or avoiding the truth!

Scheunemann is an advisor to the open society institute (Not to mention the whole stable or RINOs he’s been involved with)

The only people smoking bongs around here are MB supporters who refuse to recognize the fact that she has betrayed both Sarah Palin and the TEA Party movement in order to pursue her own personal ambitions.

And he hasn't worked for Palin in years. So try again.

P.S.--

How could I have possibly heard the claims that came from the far left publications and websites since I never go there? --ever!

Get it?

"If we want to eliminate anyone, we need to work on pushing Romney, Gingrich, and Huntsman out first...Palin, Bachman, and Cain need to be drafting partners to stay in the front. We can worry about who crosses the finish line first in the final lap."
Your sentiments mirrored mine right up until the time Michele Bachmann made the decision to follow Ed Rollins. Cain and Palin truly seem to understand what needs to be done. Bachmann seems to be in over her head.
