*completely safe House seat*
She won by less than 1% last year.
I guess I’m misinformed. I’ve always thought highly of Bachmann.
That's racist....
I’m gonna have to agree. Bachmann is a weird combination of Mourdock and Akin in a skirt. I don’t understand her inability to think before she speaks. Accountants ought to have that down to an art. She talks like a used car salesman, except used car salesmen are charismatic. And the weird thing is this - like the author, I agree with most of her bedrock positions. She’s like the anti-Reagan - Reagan’s whole appeal was he explained things in such a way that people who were previously doubtful agreed with him, whereas Bachmann talks about the issues in such a way that even her allies want to back away from her.
As a self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservative, Bachmann is committed to fixing Washingtons broken ways by advocating for Americas adherence to the Constitution. Bachmann has become known on Capitol Hill as a member who champions tax reform, works to cut wasteful government spending and supports limiting the size of our government. She also is devoted to the repeal of Obamacare, a legislation she believes is an example of governments recent uninhibited growth. In Bachmanns view, the government needs to make the kind of serious spending decisions that many families and small businesses across America have been forced to make. As a believer in the traditional values upon which this country was founded, she consistently defends Americas religious liberties and the importance of the family as the first unit of government. She also has continuously worked to defend the right to life for all Americans, including the unborn.
She didn’t say she was retiring. Her “farewell” speech actualy looks like a campaign video:
Bachmann is not going away.
And watch the GOPe groin leeches come running to attack her in this thread.
Sour Grapes Alert!
Sheesh.
I don’t agree with everything that Rep Bachmann says but I do on probably 95% of it.
If she were a man she would be getting Ted Cruz praise for having one HUGE set of huevos.
What makes these morons think that this money will automatically be handed over to the GOP-E?
Just from reading about her retirement in here and watching the Posts I can see than she frightens the piss out of a lot of Republicans who don’t want to hear the truth.
She fights. She and a very few others are the only reason I still consider myself a Repub.
Watching Repubs attack her is a reminder that the GOP may well be beyond fixing.
Oh goody. Now the GOP will have more money to screw the rest us with better efficiency.
Boehner, Cantor and McCarthey the triumverate of RINO betrayal can use a little extra cash to tax the interntet, let 11-20 million illegals get on welfare and a path to citizenship and so so much more.
There is no guarantee that the millions MB got from conservatives will now to the Republican Party. More likely, the money will go to another Tea Party conservative, or to MB’s Senate campaign.
What is it about Michele Bachmann that caused out of state donors to pour money into her campaigns? Could the GOP find other candidates who have “that” in order to capture that donor base? The money is there for the candidate who can earn it.
Go find out, guys!
I sent Michelle Bachmann some significant money to help her beat the lefties and the media. If Frodo here thinks that money will go to the RNC he’s out of his ever loving mind.
