We've got Marxists to defeat and all some of you seem to have energy for is attacking the best vehicle CURRENTLY available to do so.

It's tedious.

This artical is nonsense. Bachmann has over a million dollars to spend with only 12 days to go. The GOP pulled their money because they need it more than she does. She’ll still win because her opponent is a wuss liberal running in a suburban conservative district against a staunch conservative.

It the last poll, she was up 44% to 33%

The GOP is a joke with no spine. They need to clean the house of these whimps.

The “truth” is that you don’t speak of investigating folks with different view points. It reaked of McCarthyism. Not a good thing in politics.

Feeney is a jackass...he could stand to have his ass tossed to the curb. He is running a miserable campaign and never has commercials to counter the attack ad’s which leads many to believe...the attack ad’s are 100% correct.

This is the face of the new Republican Party or Progressive Lite as I like to call it. Abandonment of Conservative principles will get you nothing but loss after loss.

Are you insane? A lot of the advise from FReepers has been that we must go to the middle...that we can't win as conservatives. Isn't that why we nominated McCain after all? /sarcasm

BTW...I agree with you. When you interject conservative truth into the process...we usually win. The only reason McCain is even close is Palin is blunt and conservative. The sooner our party big-wigs learn this...OR ARE REPLACED...the better. Limp wristed conservatism hasn't served us very well in the past 10 years. This is just another example.

Me too. I donated $50 to her last night. She has an 11-point lead in the polls (10/16). She is in a solid rep. district. She should win.

I couldn’t agree more with you — she’ll likely win, but I sure hate the rhetoric spewed about this. Why should I be surprised though???

Yep We have Marxists to defeat, no argument there. I have put a lot of my energy to doing so on a different front, and am working on an oil drilling location as I type this. Energy is what I do.

As for the vehicle, well, it is high-centered on the carcasses of every person in this election cycle with the metaphorical balls to call Obama and the Socialists "Socialists" and Anti-Americans "Anti-American".

So you tell me I'm a weenie?

Crap! With "friends" like that, who in the hell needs enemies?

Your vehicle is self-destructing, in case you had not noticed.

You want tedious, watch that, despite any effort you make, for a few decades.

Bachman isn't getting a lift--for calling a "Marxist" what he is. For calling Anti-Americans what they are. If the 'bus' can't pull that load, it isn't much bus.

YMMV.

Joe,

McCain/Pailin have attacked their opponents (enemies) much more ferociously than George W and Bob Dole (ugh) ever did.

We're movin’ in the right direction

One fight at a time, please.

O’Reilly last night, I thought he was good to put her on after Chrissy did the job on her. Poor woman, she has guts though.

[[ But during her “Hardball” appearance on Friday, Bachmann said of Obama: “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.”
Of lawmakers, she said: “I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?” ]]

Huh? Wait a minute?

Saying something like this, in a political campaign, is inappropriate and unacceptable?

And the Republicans are going to punish her? For getting a bit too close to the truth of matters?

What happened to free, political speech?

How can the Republicans have ANY hope to become an effective opposition in the coming thugocracy, if they won’t call it for what it is?

What a bunch of fools.

This is the LAST time I vote Republican.

2006 was the last time I'm voting Republican until I see some radical changes. And by radical I mean something like a Palin/Jindal, Sanford/Palin, or any like ticket.

Who says Bachmann’s in trouble? The MSM? Have there been any polls except the one showing that she is up 11 pts? Did anyone consider that perhaps the NRCC is pulling out because they have deemed she is safe? Are people excepting the premise that Bachmann is in trouble simply by virtue of the fact that people on MSNBC and the Star-Tribune say she is?? Really?

I am going to vote for him anyway. Next year I might join up a new party. Ron Paul join the Constitution Party. He was the only one right about the economy.

Correct me if I am wrong.......did or did not Nancy Pelosi call Republicans “Unpatriotic” last month?

So the denizens of the far Left are now just plain old patriotic boys and girls? That’s a lie.

As I contemplate what I am seeing, I think the Republican Party may be nearing its demise. It doesn’t back up its own people. We don’t need two Democratic parties.
