Conservatives still support her. Libertarians do not.

Precisely.

I fully support Bachmann, have no trouble with her voting in support of this, and don't believe most libertarians are going to vote for whoever the eventual Republican nominee is anyway (it most certainly won't be Paul).

Righto. Libertarians are for Liberty. I will take my chances with the muzzies rather than live in a Police State.

I don't support her any more than I do most of the other so-called conservatives out there. One problem with Bachmann is that she attended the libertarian-esque CPAC, while more-conservative candidates/groups boycotted it because of the offensive presence of GOProud and the fact that the conference has become less conservative every year.

If Bachmann is so socially conservative, then why didn’t she join the boycott? Values really only mean something when you have to make a sacrifice for them. It seems that Bachmann was unwilling to make a personal sacrifice by boycotting CPAC, so I do not consider her (or anyone else who attended CPAC) to be that socially conservative.

Would I vote for her over Romney and others? Sure. But that's really not saying much.

“Conservatives still support her...”

Not necessarily. The way things are going now, I wouldn’t unless she’s my last option. I don’t know what’s going on with her now. I used to like her a lot.
