“He almost doesn’t spend any time advancing Bachmann who shares almost 100% of the same positions as Sarah Palin (By the way)”

That’s the type of BS I hear from Palinistas constantly.

First, lets looksee who posts the dozens of Bachmann posts here. Can you guess? Or maybe becasue so many cultists spend there time on Palin threads they don’t see or aren’t interested in much else.

Scroll through that before you spout off.

2nd, Bachmann does not have 100% agreement with Palin. Plain is McCain when it comes to amnesty, Bachmann is Steve King. Palin is Newt when it comes to global warming, Bachmann calls the whole thing a socialist hoax. Palin was pimping LOST as governor, Bachmann is the anti-globalist. Palin pushed TARP, Bachmann vociferously opposed it. Palin is a Title IX queen, Bachmann calls herself congressMAN. Palin want federal funding for special needs kids, Bachmann wants to cut welfare.

You should have links for your Palin v Bachmann specifics. That’s a good solid list. But put that list in a txt file, and hammer that one home.

I’m enouraging you because many Palin supporters have trouble dealing with a decent challenge and you present one. They know exactly who you are, and exactly what you’re saying your doing, so the target is clear. There is one of you and many many Palin supporters. If they can’t beat you, somethings wrong. But you’re tenacious and disciplined, staying on message, so you wouldn’t be all that easy to beat here.

40 Palin supporters should beat 1 you. Unless, um, you’re right.

Now, here’s a suggestion to Palin supporters. Figure out where pissant is lying. pissant will have his list “reasons why Bachmann is better than Palin”, ready to cut and paste at a moments notice, with great links substantiating your arguments. One of the 40 Palin supporters will have a text file “lies pissant told”. Another of the 40 supporters might have another list.

Many supporters should try to learn how to respond to pissants charges? Are pissants charges true? What do they mean? Perhaps Sarah’s misspelling is a new word, with a similar, but distinctly different definition than the word Sarah was trying to spell? What are the 2 different definitions? Can we get this new word in the dictionary real quick? Could Sarah have meant the exact opposite when she she retweeted Tammy Bruces “the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed”
And then 2,3,4 Palin supporters frantically spin their way to an explanation that doesn’t completely contradict everything that they want to think Palin believes. I helped with developing the idea that what Palin was saying was 1) there are gay moles in the RNC, there to be antigay, and then outed. and 2) we need to find them at the RNC and get rid of them, because they’re only going to cause massive headaches without end. Palin read what everyone else read, but she saw, somehow, because she really is in a position to make a phone call to the RNC and get rid of staffers, Tammy Bruce saying what Palin thought Bruce said. Put simply, this theory goes, Palin misunderstood what Bruce was saying.

And every day pissant finds one of these little factoids, where Palin is attacked from the right, the Palin people counter it. The end result is that people get more skilled at all of this. I like Palin, I like Ron Paul, and I like Michelle Bachmann.

Pissant is wrong to start a little Bachmann v Palin fight though. Because Bachmann is going to be supporting Palin. She almost said as much. Keeping her seat warm. And I didn’t get the idea at CPAC that Bachmann was giving the speech of someone running for President, but thanking the volunteers for hanging the decorations for the prom. I thought it was the right kind of vibe, and I’m not criticizing her at all, but if Palin wants to wait and see, wait till late for tactical reasons, it looks like Bachmann is there breaking ground for Sarah.

Cool! Evidence based posting. Now thats a bit better.

Unfortunately you are wrong about Palin and McCain vis-a-vis Amnesty, in fact, lets review the bidding about Palin coming to the aid of Jan Brewer when she was being attacked from all sides. You just make things up. This is my bone to pick with you on these sort of thing. Palin isn't Newt when it comes to anything. Gosh. Palin did not and does not support Global Warming hysteria but she did finesse this issue by building an environmental portfolio. Still, she is the one that sued the EPA on their determination that Polar Bears were threatened. She has been very solid on this. You just are looking for her to be Jim Inhofe which would be nice, and I believe that her position is just about square with his at this point, but there was a time when taking that position was equal to insanity, still she hung tough. Steve King is ok, but he has his RINO moments as well.

Palin supported TARP because McCain supported it. Thats what you do when you are the Vice President candidate, you don't get to run a separate campaign. This is the essence of lame, pissant. We both agree, that Palin is missing the boat on Title IX. Palin has actually made cuts in spending. Bachmann has thus far only be able to talk about such things.

Bachmann is a firebrand whom Sarah Palin supported wholeheartedly and raised significant funds for. Trying to find day light between these two is harder than hard. Only you could find this space, but this is a product of imagining mostly. Nevertheless, Bachmann will continue to take stands that would be poison to anyone running for President, and this is why we like her, support her and cheer her on. Just don't imagine that for a moment she is actually serious about 2012, and because you pretend that you believe she is serious, neither are you.
