Bachmann: 'Respect and admiration' for Palin
Politico ^ | Wednesday June 8, 2011 | Maggie Harbinger

Posted on 06/08/2011 12:10:22 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

An adviser to Rep. Michele Bachmann sends over this fairly ruffles-smoothing statement:  

“The Congresswoman has nothing but admiration and respect for Governor Palin. The two enjoy a good friendship, and Rep. Bachmann looks forward to working with the Governor for the common goal of making sure President Obama is a one-term President.”

Words mean nothing. Back up your statement with action. Fire Rollins and make a personal apology to Palin.

Hiring Rollins was the first executive decision of her supposed Presidential run. It shows a tremendous lack of executive acumen to pick a Washington insider hack to run a campaign that is supposed to represent the tea party outsiders.

MB waited until the 2nd day to respond?

Sorry, damage has been done and MB exposed as a stalking horse for Romney to dilute Sarah’s support in exchange for VP slot with the Myth.

"The statement came in the wake of an adviser to Palin pushing back hard on comments from Bachmann strategist Ed Rollins, and is clearly aimed at dialing down the growing war.

Hmmm, I wonder if Rollins will soon be out of a job. If Michele is all what she seems to be, she will rid herself of him immediately!

Too little, too late and as such, it’s unbelievable.

Bachmann is done.... she gave her future to Ed Rollins.

Is this it? A statement from an advisor about Palin? Not a statement from MB herself? Maybe a personal call from MB to SP.

I will not assume that what Politico printed is all there is to the story, but if it is all there is to the story, then I think we can assume these two are not getting along.

I bet on nothing. If God forgives us for our “slumber”, He will tell Sarah she must run.....and history will be made history.

The rest is cr@p.

I want the candidates to convince me that they are the best choice based on their support of the Constitution, the Republic, their views and that their candidacy is being pursued not for themselves but for the good of the country. Trashing their conservative opponents means to me that they have no other selling points. I don’t care what political office they have held or if they have ever been a CEO or a military leader since that is what we have in too many elected already and we know where that has brought us. I don’t discount those experiences but they do not impart any assurance that they are real conservatives with a vision for taking back the country and Constitution.

I would currently be behind Cain, Palin or Bachmann and I despise the RINO has-beens like mitt the twit, newt or any of that entrenched GOP “leadership” bunch.

After the decision of a candidate is made it is time for all conservatives to get behind that ticket and for the primary candidates who were not chosen to get behind the ticket. This has to be a united front that will fight tooth and nail. Our fascist democrat party enemies will not play nice and will lie, cheat and steal the election if we are not united against them.

Bachmann’s staff must be perusing Free Republic today and saw that they are in deep doo-doo with Conservatives.

THAT’S IT?

LOL! I guess Michele is following Obama’s example by leading from the rear and having a Jim Carney clone read this content free pap from:

Hallmark Cards Political Niche All Purpose
Empty And Insincere and Uncaring Rack

I’ll ask Knute and Nancy to make room on the loser sofa for ya Michele!

I supported both women. Donate to both.

Until yesterday.

In my checkbook, and support, Bachmann is out.

“Words mean nothing. Back up your statement with action. Fire Rollins and make a personal apology to Palin.”

If words meant nothing, then you wouldn’t have a problem with Rollins in the first place.

We should be so lucky to have a President Bachmann.

If they don't read Free Republic, then they are in deep doo doo.

Free Republic is the pulse and voice of the Tea Party movement.

Bachmann just showed that she is a follower and not a leader. She will follow Rollins into political obscurity.
