Tea Party 2012: Will Michele Bachmann Steal Sarah Palin's Thunder?
National Journal ^ | 3/5/11 | Lyndsey Boerma

Posted on 03/05/2011 11:46:22 AM PST by pissant

It's looking increasingly likely that tea party maven and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., will dive into the 2012 presidential waters.

Among the evidence is a packed schedule for this weekend, including two suspiciously stump-like stops in Florida on Friday and a Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, where she’ll be asked about how “the campaign against President Obama’s reelection should be framed,” according to network previews.

Most notable is Bachmann's involvement in the conservative Club for Growth’s annual winter meeting on Friday, where her name shared a guest list with those of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and former Govs. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts—all rumored White House contenders.

Without Palin the Conservative Cause would not be where it is today. She’s kept on fighting (picked fights!!!)when all these other jokers were comfortable keeping on with the RINO double-speak, do-nothing, hide under the blankets, no spine crap we’d grown accustomed to. I’m not going to throw her under the bus now.

Run Sarah Run!!

Eh. Maybe. That’s why they run the campaign. I’m kind of looking forward to finding out how the gov matches up against the field. Seems like quite a few folks

You’re clearly off your nut, lady.


That’s okay. I understand and will keep that in mind next time they are after your nuts, mister.

Any true conservative would make a great President.

Absolutely. There's enough thunder to go around, if they'll use it.

Bachman already has. Palin is playing catch-up to Bachman because the only time Palin gets face time now is when she says something outrageous or faces the choir on FoxNews.

To wit: Palin to Christie: It’s not courageous to cut spending when you’re broke

Nobody likes you. I wasn’t calling you a cultist over your support for Michelle, which I think is phony anyway.

And I never called you a cultist when you were supporting that other dude, you loved so much.

You insult everyone and expect your comments to mean something.

They don’t. You need to lie low for a while and get your mind right.

Well then you need to see a doctor about that case of PDS.

And I like Michele. Let's see how she does in the debates.

If they mean nothing to you, maybe you should ignore them instead of flapping your gums like a cattle auctioneer every time you come across them.

Well, this thread is already accomplishing what the establishment Left and Right wants. They want to see conservatives eating their own over who’s supposedly better between two Republicans who haven’t even made their intentions known about the presidency. It’s the equivalent of arguing over which rookie QB drafted will win the Super Bowl next year.

The establishment is helped by anal-rententive perfectionists who basically demand perfection from their candidates. (Anyone come to mind?:-))
