Good. I’m glad you called her office. I’d be interested to hear if you receive a response back. I would imagine once Rollin’s comments are more widely known she will receive quite an earful.

Im getting a real bad taste for Bachmann. I personally have never really thought she was the ONE.

Do you have Rollins email by chance.

I sent Bachman an email advising of my disappointment in her use of a attack dog like this. If this is her plan, its gonna be a short campaign for her.

Isn’t Rollins a RINO operative?

He's Karl Rove without the quite the pathological hatred of conservative women.

This does not surprise me in the least. I’ve never liked this guy.

“Michelle had best put a muzzle on Ed Rollins. Bashing Sarah Palin is not going to win her any friends.”

No. Right now I could and would support MB if she is the most conservative primary candidate, or the eventual nominee.

That could change. Allowing minions and toadies ala Rove or Rollins to attack conservatives -would- change that.

Two possibilities:

1. This is Bachmann's plan to take down Sarah Palin.

2. This is Ed Rollins plan to take down Sarah Palin.

Either way, if Bachmann's campaign continues in this vein then Michele is toast.

Consider the source (Politico).

BUT if true, Bachmann And Ed Rollins
are now linked to Mitt Romney and Tokyo Rove.
The GOP is probably finished thanks to Team Romney.

Why is it decent conservatives almost always surround themselves with fools?

Michelle doesn’t need to muzzle this idiot, she needs to fire him.

Rollins has been bad mouthing Palin with such venom over the last year or so - He’s obsessed with her.

There’s no way Bachmann couldn’t have known.

Wasn’t Rollins involved with using “walking around money” to get people to vote for his guy (Bush Sr. or possibly Reagan in the 80s / early 90s)?

she gave up her governorship.”…

I hear E.R. charges a lot of money. And he leads with that limp argument? I'm not seeing his value.

“Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney (we will try to not hold that against you Michelle), she has done important things with family values.”

Sarah Palin has not worked hard?

Sarah Palin has not been a leader in the TEA Party? She is the embodiment of the TEA Party!

Sarah Palin has not promoted Family Values?

Damn Michele! Hand Ed his paycheck on Friday, fire him and send him back to RINOville. Quick!

From this decision forward, Michele Bachmann is wasting her time.

Ed Rollins!!... give me a break!

He is a gun for hire. If he has a true political philosophy, he would conceal it if it meant a buck. Rollins was a big hit around here when he said he wanted to knock Mitt's teeth out during the last all goat rodeo.

Clinton and Obama had the right idea. They ran against Bush. The Republicans need to run against Obama rather than each other.

So it’s come to this. I’m disappointed in Michelle Backmann. I tried but I just can’t believe that whatever BS Ed Rollins is putting out there (about Sarah Palin) is being done without the imprimatur of his employer, Michelle Backmann. With all the crap Palin has taken from the left and to a lesser extent, from the GOP establishment, now we have some old-line political operator bashing Sarah Palin, essentially in Michelle Backmann’s name. Very discouraging and a definite turn-off for this conservative voter. Granted, I was a Palin supporter all along but if Sarah Palin chooses not to run, I was ready and willing to switch my allegiance - and my primary election vote - to Bachmann. Not any more . Maybe Herman Cain. Maybe someone else - but not Michelle Bachmann. Not now. Not ever.

"He's Karl Rove without the quite the pathological hatred of conservative women."

An almost perfect slam-dunk. Rollins is 15 years behind the times. Rove is about 5 years behind the times. Rollins has no concept of social media, and Rove (barely) knows what Twitter and Facebook are.

Eddie will cripple Michelle's campaign.
