¨GOP could have won with less extreme candidates.¨

Make that ¨The GOP could have won with slow road to communism and slavery candidates¨.

Listen to your leftist masters in the media....
Vote secret democrat / communist RINOś.
This message has been paid for by marxists for Romney.

Democratic socialists. ;<)

Liberals....please spare us from trying to select the Republican candidate. We allowed you to do it to us in ‘08 and guess what, IT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN!

Asking for insight into conservative candidates from that hag Clift is like asking for insight into Jewish culture from Hitler.

Except that Hitler was possibly Jewish, yet no one has ever accused Miss Clift of being a conservative!!

She’s wrong about O’Donnell.
But Bachmann won’t be there at the end so she’s right about that.

This article is such a mishmash, who knows where to start.

Claims she has “railed against Medicaid” but her husband’s counseling service received Medicaid payments.

What, did she say Medicaid is bankrupting the states and should be changed? If so, that is true. You don’t have to be “extreme right” to know and say that. That’s “railing against”?

If her husband counselled someone whose sessions were covered under Medicaid, what was he supposed to do...counsel them for free because they couldn’t afford to pay, when all he had to do was file their insurance, which was Medicaid? I have seen this criticism referenced before, and thought then it was asinine and stupid.

I don’t get the part about the “family farm” subsidy thing. Article claims to know what her congressional financial disclosure papers say. I don’t know what they say. Appears to be a conflict in what Michele says and what this hit piece claims her financial papers say. Who knows...I don’t, but let her clarify that.

She got her Concords temporarily switched, but that’s nothing compared to saying there are 57 states. I also liked her comeback when that was told to her...she said Concord Mass was the place, ok, but it was in Concord NH that people still care about it. Touche.

She did not say the Founding Fathers ended slavery. So that part of the article is a distortion at best, a lie at worst. She said they worked to end slavery. She was right...several of them did. Stephanopoulus arguing with her that John Q Adams was not a Founding Father was simply absurd. She schooled him by pointing out that although a teenager at the time, he helped his father with the Founding. (In addition, Madison and others worked toward it.)

Won’t address each point, but this is clearly a hit piece. Question: Why are they worried enough about Michele Bachmann to do a hit piece on her? I thought she was nothing, and was going nowhere?

Why bother?

I listened to Michael Barrone and he said we could not have won that O’Donnell race in any way... we did not have the numbers and they would have voted dim anyway. biden’s home state for goodness sakes.

Christine O’Donnell was savaged by Team Romney
consisting of Krauthammer and Rove who called her a
witch.

Shame on them.
GOP-backstabbers upon which
the DNC KNOWS they can rely.

This article conveys one message more strongly than any other: that Clift and the rest of the Marxists have no fear of Michele Bachmann.

The left’s plan for normal American Palin supporters is to get them to switch to Bachmann, and then when Palin is out of the way, they proceed to take Bachmann out.

But one thing ruins their plan: at this point I like Bachmann about one tenth as much as I like Palin.

Hate to burst your bubble, but this is a hit piece trying to drive Michele Bachmann supporters away from her.

One of these two people is extreme left - Eleanor Clift. The other claims to be a moderate Dem but is showing himself to simply be a dupe of others by co-writing the hit piece on Bachmann.

Whereas you say the left is trying to manipulate people into supporting Bachmann in order to stop Palin.

Again, this is the Democrats writing a hit piece on Michele Bachmann. Its purpose would clearly not be to manipulate people into supporting her. Its purpose clearly is to hurt Michele Bachmann.

who lost Senate seats in Nevada and Delaware that the GOP could have won with less extreme candidates.

Read a RINO. I do not speak for the Tea Party but I think their goal is to elect conservative Americans not wishy washy
Rino’s. The goal is not only to win elections but to win with people that will return America to its rightful path..

Eleanor Clift is so concerned with Republicans. She really hopes we don’t screw up and lose to Obama. Uh huh.
