So far I haven’t seen any “knee jerk” reactions on this thread till you showed up. There’s bit of a show of disappointment in her choice of Rollins, a self-confessed bagman (read his autobiography) who cut his political teeth with the 60’s democrats including the wannabee dictator Bobby Kennedy of the most corrupt clan in America.
I believe in confession, contrition, and redemption. Rollins has only shown swaggering confession followed by “So what!”.
I didn’t notice any attacks on Bachman’s person or character nor on her supporters. Yet your supposed defense of her opens with a “oh yeah, well so’s your old man” rather adding new knowledge or otherwise buttressing your opinion.
Take this for what’s worth.
She will go nowhere. Should her ethanol pandering actually get here some visibility in Iowa, her bloom will fall quickly when she actually has to defend some of her outrageous statements or explain why her party has continued to keep her on the back bench.
If he wins Michele Bachmann Iowa I doubt she’ll care about any of that. And sorry, but I disagree I think there are knee jerk reactions. If Bachmann turns into middle of the road mushy moderate I’ll be disappointed too, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Rollins himself even said he doesn’t know in what capacity he’ll be working with her.
