Rep. Michele Bachmann wins the night

Rep. Bachmann is the Kim Kardashian of American politics.

A nasty smear.

[agere_contra]

Her actions are the latest example of American’s growing disdain for experience and wisdom.

... And the train comes off the rails.

[GoCards]

Wow. What a condescending and pathetic piece of journalism. These women Bachman and Palin are in the line of fire of Washington arent they!!!!

[Monterrosa-24]

“...Rep. Bachmann is the Kim Kardashian of American politics...”

Except that KK is a bimbo and Bachmann is one of the more articulate members of Congress.

[pissant]

Ryan accomplished alot alright. He voted for TARP after saying he was against it. Bachmann said hell no, and stuck to her guns.

I don’t know what latitude FR provides, but is it possible to stick an “Unsubstantiated Bile” warning on an article?

[Kakaze]

We watched all 3 speeches........Bachman was the only one that made sense.

[Monterrosa-24]

“...stuck to her guns...”

Uh oh more anti-intellectual violent metaphors...or so the author's type believes.

Bachmann is a great American and just not palatable to the Sophistos.

[ChocChipCookie]

I’m waiting for a loud cry that, “Enough is enough!” when it comes to attacking articulate and credible women just because they are conservative. So far, the silence is stunning.

[jda]

Hmm, I guess the cries for civility only apply where they say it applies.

[Carley]

As evidenced by the election of a person with NO experience, no integrity, honor or wisdom.

[US Navy Vet]

So did the Moonies re-acquire the Wash Times?

RE: We watched all 3 speeches........

You are a VERY PATIENT person. I fell asleep midway through Obama’s speech and waited for 20 minutes before he addressed our budget deficit.

[FrankR]

Michelle's [speech] was the best of the night, by far.

I think congress has RINO pee all over the floor this morning....LOL

[SandRat]

The inclusion of a (Mega Barf) alert in the title would have been nice.

[GoCards]

You are so right about the silence of “enough is enough” . I think that is why I get so pissed. I do not hear anyone, esp. our side who is saying “what the hell?”. It makes me furious.

I have been receiving emails from the RNC from Preibus (sp?) and I have been commenting back with until you stand up for the women in this party esp. Palin and now Bachman, I will be sending my money directly to them. We need to let our leadership know that their silence and negativety towards these women will NOT stand.

[so_real]

There are only a handful of Representatives out there openly making an effort to represent we who are Taxed Enough Already. She represents us unapologetically and with pride. I respect her for that. It would be easy to cast a POTUS vote for her.

[BenLurkin]

“Wacky”? Her delivery is odd but the message is 100% spot on!
