I wish Bachmann had more opportunities to speak tonight. I swear we’ve gone at least 10-20 minues and she hasn’t said a word.
OH BULL!
Yea, that sounds like a Trump-like response.
Or, announcing that early was what that unknown Affirmative Action candidate (with a level of experience that would have been laughed at if he had been a white male) needed to get the name recognition he required to get some traction.
America fell for Affirmative Action once and got a severe case of buyer's remorse. I predict that America will not fall for Affirmative Action a second time.
The internet and 24 hour news time not only builds name recognition. Stay under that magnifying glass long enough and it ultimately destroys you as the early candidates form a circular firing squad and the media vultures attack.
Don't appreciate being called a pervert, and my post said nothing about you being a lesbian.
Have fun worshiping Bachman though,she is quite the catch.
If not one of these wusses will take on Romney, they’re all a bunch of clowns.....calling Sarah Palin, where are you??????????:
Romney
#1 thing spending money the govy doesnt have
Wheres Obamas ideas ???
Tell us something we dont know
What is going to haqppen if the spending doesnt stop Willie Mitty ???
Didnt answer the Q
It’s rightfully for many to attack Bachmann for at least hiring an Establishment guy adviser (Rollins) who has recently diss on the Tea party
Of COURSE all the other campaign managers are taking juvenile swipes at Sarah behind the scenes, just as Rollins did. What else can one say against her when one can make no substantive attack? Bob
Yes
Romney just went into how to be being RINO.
Bachmann just said Obama is “far more eloquent” than she is...uh, no!
King didn't like it.
o crap Bachmann does the 0bama pandering.............
booooo!
Romney did NOT answer the question of raising the debt ceiling. No yes..nor no.
You should at least get my posts right. Palin campaigned for Bachmann.She helped her get reelected! Then Bachmann was too dumb to call off her dog—Ed Rollins, no excuse for that.
Your blood must be pure alcohol at this point, please don’t drive.
Separation of church and state.
Mitt sounds like what Obama
szeperation of church and state
Ask Romney...
