I've always liked and admired Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn.
In fact, I think she has so many of the ingredients we naturally associate with leadership good communication skills, attractiveness, courage, convictions that I have speculated more than once she could be presidential timber.
However, I've found a chink in the armor.
Apparently, she, too like so many of her Republican colleagues in Congress is deathly afraid of the Barack Obama eligibility issue.
Check out her recent appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live."
Do you believe Bachmann hasn't heard much from her constituents about the Obama eligibility issue?
All I can say to that is she must not be listening.

It’s all part of a big game. I believe that they are staying away from this issue because it is a distraction from the real issues. Last time this issue got too much traction from the left. Right now we need to concentrate on the big things that are coming down the road. Once there is concrete proof, they will support the birthers. Right now, they can’t afford to be called crazy.
Oh really?
Republicans are spineless because that’s how they are.
That’s why they lost. And that’s the problem.
They’re weenies.
I think congress and the administration in general, really don’t want to set a precedent by allowing regular citizens to be able to force them into doing things, outside of elections.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
1. They don't want to get tagged as nuts.
2. They don't want the Republican party to get tagged as nuts.
3. They really don't buy into the birther theories.
There are so many missing records other than the CLB, hopefully they all can't be hidden forever.
Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn. is one of the best Conservatives we have on the hill today.
Spin spin spin...
Truth truth truth...
They are afraid of it, because they sense it is a trap.
If they go on record claiming he wasn’t born here, and the long form is eventually produced and shows he was, they are afraid their credibility will not ever be regained.
I wouldnt put the trap thing past the marxists, but on the other hand, being a non-public figure, I have no hesitation in saying I think he is concealing the long form and other records for specific reasons- that he really is a Manchurian potus, and the NWO doesn’t want the public know his real background and country of origin.
it is a distraction from the real issues.

DUH..
It is the REAL issue...
Its the Number One issue...
if Barry Dunham-Soetoro is not eligible to be president, then all those other issues are moot...
oh, so you don't think the eligibility of the POTUS is a “real issue?”...interesting...well, what exactly do you think is a “real issue”?...shezzzzzzzzzzzzz...Newbies...
I remember several months back, every mention of the birth certificate was met with the words “crazy”, “tin foil helmet”,etc.. I just dont think they ca effectively fight this healthcare business with those labels. I am a birther, I feverishly await every bit of news on the subject, but I think we need to find something so concrete that the supporters can “come out”. Just like Acorn, I think this is an issue the public must tackle first, then they will help us.
I have a feeling there are already internal investigations occurring in the CIA. They may be blackballed by the FedGuv, but they work with much more than I’m sure even the WH knows about. Piss off the information Gods and be subject to their powers.
Big Bird knows.
Another spineless FReeper...
Your skirt is showing, missy. LOL
My sentiments exactly!!!!
"Patriotic Whistle-blower". I think you've touched on the answer. Surely there is someone out there on the other side who is saddened by the radical takeover of our country. There has to be someone with the guts to come forward and make history.
Let me correct that. I mean from the issues that are being rammed down out throats right now! I would rather have congress fight that fight. Leave this one in our hands, people will find the truth.
I think Republicans (and I’ll call myself one for purposes of this statement - even though I’m dusgusted by the party’s overwhelming weeniehood) have become ENTIRELY too concerned with avoiding liberals calling us bad names.
Completely ignoring that is all liberals do! It is their entire MO. No matter what Republicans do, they will be called names by liberals.
So scr*w it. Man up, step up to the plate and start playing to win.
It’s like the entire GOP has become conditioned as if Pavlov’s dog.
One word from a liberal - and they’re a quivering blob of jello.
