Bachmann's rise and fall

The Pocono Record ^ | July 5, 2011 | Douglas Cohn and Eleanor Clift

I got news for your Mr and Mrs. Michelle Bachmann ISN’T Sharon Angle or Christine O’Donnell (and doesn’t strike me as very much like them)..blow it our your liberal pipes (I am speaking of course to the authors).

[conservaterian]

Clift is playing right into Sarah’s plan. Bachmann is going to take all of the early flak and then Sarah will jump in just after New Hampshire and clear the field. ALL of the other candidates will be fighting each other to that point and spending all of their money. Sarah won’t lose a primary from South Carolina on. It will all be over way before Tampa and Sarah’s money will go toward beating The Commie in Chief.

[Ron H.]

Sharron Angle or Christine O’Donnell lost because they did not measure down to the standards of the morally defunct RINO RNC. Not only did the RNC not support either candidate they actually worked hard behind the scenes barely masquerading their hostile efforts to defeat these two fine candidates fighting for the Tea Party principles and for every day Americans. The RNC as usual shows us all just how low they will go if Republican candidates do not tow their Politburo RNC line.

Quick! Abandon Palin and run to Bachmann, because Eleanor Clift says that:

“Bachmann is filling the void with a campaign that is highly professional, winning over voters who otherwise would have gravitated to Palin.”

LOL

As I said, this is a fake hit piece. The tone of this article clearly shows the left is very comfortable with Bachmann.

And we know they are terrified of Palin.

These things are obvious anyway, even without articles by Clift trying in vain to use reverse psychology on us.

O’Donnel was opposed by her Democrat opponent and the center/left wing of her own party. Angle faced one of the most corrupt politician in the senate in one of the most corrupt elections in history. Under those conditions neither had a chance.

[hattend]

Harry Reid isn’t an extreme candidate? please!

And Christine O’Donnell took out Mike Castle and for that I thank her.

[hattend]

I tried to read the whole thing, honest I did.

[CPOSharky]

...but she has a history of making off-the-wall comments...

But zero has no libtard media history of ever making an off-the-wall comment.

[Ron H.]

I stand to be corrected but I seem to recall the RNC actively campaigned against the two female candidates in question and in one of the two cases actually endorsed the Democrat opponent.

[Jeff Winston]

Bachmann makes me nervous.

I have doubts that she’s ready for prime time.

[FreeReign]

this is a hit piece trying to drive Michele Bachmann supporters away from her.

Clift is a far left writer. Clift's audience is far left. The left is demonizing Bachmann when the audience is on the left and they are pushing Bachmann when the audience is on the right.

They will continue to push Bachmann on the right until Bachmann grabs enough of Palin's share of the Tea Party.

[RINOs suck]

The left is demonizing Bachmann when the audience is on the left and they are pushing Bachmann when the audience is on the right.

That's insane.

They pushed Bachmann when they didn't think she had a chance and now are attacking because they know she has a real chance of winning the nomination.

[FreeReign]

And I think your post is insane.

As I said, Clift is a far left writer. Clift's audience is far left. The left is demonizing Bachmann when the audience is on the left and they are pushing Bachmann when the audience is on the right. They will continue to push Bachmann on the right until Bachmann grabs enough of Palin's share of the Tea Party.

It's worth recapping some of the Bachmann-isms that have made her famous. She prides herself on being a Constitutional literalist, yet her knowledge of American history is so faulty that she credited the Founding Fathers with ending slavery and complimented residents of Concord, N.H., with sounding the first shots in the Revolutionary War.
OMG. She confused Concord NH with Concord MA? I wonder how many other Concords there are in Obama's 57 states. And the Founding Fathers kept slavery out of the Old Northwest, and ended slavery in every state north of Maryland.

[justiceseeker93]

It's obvious that these two Obamatons writing the posted article are doing anything they can to disparage Bachmann because they are scared out of their wits of her as a possible GOP nominee.

[rxsid]

Isn't it interesting the particular kind of venomous voracity the state run media uses to go after Palin and Bachmann? It should be obvious that they are terrified of conservative women. What is it about conservative women that the state run media is particularly afraid of?

[PhilDragoo]

I always pictured Eleanor Clift in a Hannibal Lecter mask when she vehemently defended Hillary.

[RINOs suck]

The left is demonizing Bachmann

The left is demonizing her, period, since she started rising in the polls.

[SunkenCiv]

The media libtards have been working overtime to try to confuse those who got suckered into voting for Zero the first time around.

[justiceseeker93]

Clift is playing right into Sarah's plan. Bachmann is going to take all of the early flak and then Sarah will jump in just after New Hampshire and clear the field. ALL of the other candidates will be fighting each other to that point and spending all of their money. Sarah won't lose a primary from South Carolina on. It will all be over way before Tampa and Sarah's money will go toward beating The Commie in Chief.

As much as I like Palin, I find your scenario difficult to believe. Palin has already lost her opportunity, IMHO. Having two attractive, dynamic, conservative women in the race can't help either.
