Bachmann: 'Respect and admiration' for Palin

Ms. Bachmann-Romney supports Mitt BASED UPON HER FAILURE
to retract the Rollins comment.

It is OVER.

And, no, ONLY ON KOLOB did Gov.Palin "work for" backstabber Romney.

This election cycle will be something else. Don’t forget Herman Cain, should Palin run, will not bounce out. So, we’ll see what happens should it become a tight race between Cain and Palin and possibly Bachmann. Cain is not into mud-slinging.

The Great-one Mark Levin seems to like Santorum. So that helps Rick. Mark is bullish on Santorum, Bachmann, Palin and Cain.

I don't know if I buy your conspiratorial assessment of Bachman.

That is your prerogative, of course. It's only an opinion. However, to clarify a bit; I don't simply believe that Michele Bachmann 'conspired' to run for the GOP presidential nomination as a 'roadblock' against a Palin candidacy. I believe that the GOP hierarchy engineered it. That is, they tacitly encouraged Bachmann to run and then to hire the Beltway insider, Ed Rollins to 'help' her. In short, I think Michel Bachmann was used. Willingly used, with ambition as her motivation. A promised V.P. slot on a Romney ticket would be sufficient motivation. I do agree that the 2012 election is greater than any one individual. I happen to favor Sarah Palin. I thought of Michele Bachmann as my fallback choice if Palin declined to run. Now, I'm looking at Herman Cain.

I'm amused by all the trashing of Bachmann on here for her alleged sin of trashing another conservative. No hypocrisy there. Of course she didn't even do it, her strategist did it, and by the looks of this statement, her campaign is making efforts to dial it back. Near as I can tell, Bachmann herself has had only positive things to say about Palin.

[Psalm 144]

“I do agree that the 2012 election is greater than any one individual. I happen to favor Sarah Palin. I thought of Michele Bachmann as my fallback choice if Palin declined to run. Now, I’m looking at Herman Cain.”

Agree on all 4 points.

Sorry that you think that any conservative would sell out like that. Look back at the Revolutionary War era. People like Adams and Jefferson fought together in the cause. Once the war was won, their partisans engaged in savage attacks on each other. Both men were great, both contributed vitally to the cause. Long after both had been President, they became friends.

We are now at a national crossroads. Survival is at stake. Re-election of America's first Marxist President dooms the Republic. Anyone who puts personal ambition against defeat of socialism does not deserve to lead.

Why don't all the good guys: Palin, Bachman, Cain, and Santorum, announce in advance they they will support to the hilt whichever among them seems most likely to win? That would convince the wavering sheeple and independents that we really stand for something other than greed and personal ambition.

“The Congresswoman has nothing but admiration and respect for Governor Palin."

MB should be thinking "fear"

"In Alaska the landscape is littered with the bodies of those who crossed Sarah"

Another day has gone by, so Bachmann is not
a ‘good guy’.

Sadly, I thought she was a good candidate.
Not now. Not ever again.

I'm not sure I would say "never again," but Michelle seems to have shown herself not ready for prime time. Maybe that simplifies things. I no longer have to struggle with the question of her vs. Palin.

I sometimes think that the parliamentary system is better than ours. By now we would have a "shadow govt. "of conservatives. Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, and others would all have a place in it.

Nothing alleged about it, she has her cancelled check from the man she hired to design and implement this strategy. He did not go rogue on his first day at work.
