Rush Limbaugh: Why I Love Michele Bachmann

Rush Limbaugh describes Rep. Michele Bachmann as “a strong spokeswoman for unapologetic conservatism” and says the left is making a big mistake by writing her off as a “flame-throwing lightweight.”

The talk show host waxes wildly enthusiastic about the Minnesota Republican in a profile for “Time 100,” Time magazine’s annual list of 100 most influential people.

Limbaugh writes that he is “a great admirer” of Bachmann, a potential 2012 presidential candidate.

“Far from being the fringe outlier depicted by the mainstream media — and all too often by some on the right — she is a strong spokeswoman for unapologetic conservatism. She is neither extreme nor unreasonable, which is why her philosophy has resonated with grass-roots conservatives,” he said.

One reason he’s a fan: the way the founder and head of the House Tea Party Caucus responds to a barrage of often-barbed criticism.

“She is energized, rather than deterred, by the caustic criticism she constantly endures,” he said.

Fight like a GIRL!

Yawn

[Dixie Yooper]

Is there any chance of reversing the order of the primaries this time around??? How about just mixing it all up?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Rush is taking notice....

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Not really. They have a set order, which they use to gage the race by the the state electoral history. (LIke, “Must win Iowa first”, Republicans can't win without Ohio, etc,)

[albie]

Why does she sweep the birther issue under the carpet?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

She is doing the same thing that Palin is doing. They must believe that it offends the general public and don't want to alienate potential voters.

[Dixie Yooper]

Because she knows we can win without it, or as The Great One said a few nights ago, “We have fought too hard and long for this...”

[Reagan Man]

Right track, wrong track.

Michele Bachmann sure beats the he!! out of Donald Trump, as a conservative and a human being.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I is probably an issue that won't be a factor. But the important thing is that it proves Obama to be a liar and a fraud. Which is why it needs to be pursued.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Absolutely right! It would be very hard to find a better person who is a Conservative AND an outstanding American as Michele Bachmann.

Why does she sweep the birther issue under the carpet?

Well, I don’t know about “under the carpet” - but I don’t focus on it because I have no way of figuring it out. I’ll let a certain billionaire who can figure it out fight that battle. I will be interested to see where it leads.

We all have to pick and choose our battles. Bachmann chooses some very very important battles to fight. I don’t want her fighting Trump’s battle. That’s not sweeping it under the carpet, that’s focusing on what one does best.

It’s called time management.

[Dixie Yooper]

Obama’s presidency has already proven beyond a doubt he's a fraud and a liar. The birth certificate is crap-shoot or at best a coin-toss. Let the birth issue be fought in the Democrat primaries.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The issue will never be taken to the end. Obama is President, the issues ripping this country apart will trump (No pun intended) the effort to make it a valid issue.

The Supreme Court will just punt again. It's a dead issue as well as a dead end.

Why does she sweep the birther issue under the carpet?

Good political tactics, IMO. Right now, Trump is playing the part of a lightning rod to keep the issue out there and raise awareness. He has the $$$$ and media notoriety but really does not have to pay a political price.

Well said, and besides, we already have all the crap Ron Paul brings to the table to deal with.

I love MB...and unlike most politicians, the more I see of her the more I love her. She’s a great person and a great conservative and a bold and fearless patriot. I hope she runs!
