Quite correct. Rollins is a weasel. I can understand the sleazy Huckster hiring him, but Michele Bachmann has to have higher standards than that.
Didn’t Rollins use to post here under the name Pissedant?
As usual, Steyn is right.
I agree with Steyn.
I like Michele, but her choice of Rollins is a disappointment. The fact that she doesn’t realize that he is poison, calls her own judgement into question.
One of the remarkable things about Palin is that every attack on her, every trap laid for her, redounds to her benefit. You’d think someone would get a clue.
Steyn has a way with words like no other conservative, bar none.
When Steyn sets out on you, it'll leave a mark.
Unfortunately, this is not true. Palin has huge negatives mostly because of MSM attacks on her. Most recently, she has been painted as being ignorant of history because of her Paul Revere remarks. It makes little difference that she was correct. Average Americans, who are not seriously engaged in politics, are influenced by the main story and pay little attention to back page corrections.
the rllins hire confirmed everything I have thoought about Bachmann since she started to think about running for POTUS.
I realize that Rollins seemed to have a lot of good ideas and showed sparks of brilliance earlier in his career but he always was loud and egotistical, tried to make himself the star of the show, and has seemed highly erratic and bizarre these past two decades or so. He has a universally lousy record of managing presidential campaigns.
I don’t like campaign managers on principle. The candidate is supposed to be the one in charge, not the hired help. Good ones may give good tactical advice but candidates are supposed to have their own ideas and principles. They should communicate them straight up and let the voters decide. They should NOT let themselves be led around by the nose by some unprincipled, machiavellian mercenary who’s always telling them to water down their message, pander shamelessly, engage in cheap theatrics, and try to fool people into voting for them.
That may work for democrats, but it never seems to work for republicans. Voters expect different from republicans. Those mushy moderates we hear so much about never seem to actually show up on election day.
Romney’s recent, shameless genuflection to the alter of global warming is a perfect example.
Rollins is a toad.
you turn him over, he still has warts.
Fortunately her campaign style is to go right to the people, bypassing the media filter. She was unable to do this last time because of McCain’s handlers. ALL poll numbers are subject to change.

Sooo.. if I get yer drift...
“We” are relegated to select those whom the main stream media have not savaged?..
And instead should gravitate to those the MSM LIKE?..
You know....... like Myth Romney or John McLaim.?..
Surely yer not serious?..
You are young. If you could explain the negatives other than the media, I will listen. Use bullet point statements if you can. Thanks
Uh, right?
LOL.
FRiend. This election is over. It’s not zero.
Examples.....
- She is a Marxist
- She attends a Marxist Church
- She begins a campaign with Ayres
- She has never had a private job
- She has never been to Conneticut
- She has never released anything about her life.
- She hates America
- She plays golf
- She needs a teleprompter
- She wants to destroy Israel
- She wants to destroy America
Something like that
So why is Palin first in some polls now, or second? The campaign is to convince the people to vote for you. I’ve always felt if she runs she wins.
