Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann vowed again in her appearance on GMA this morning to repeal the “job-killer” known as “Obamacare.” Yet despite several valiant attempts by George Stephanopoulos to get Bachmann to say something, anything, critical about frontrunner Mitt Romney, she refused to get off message and ignored his question completely.
When Stephanopoulos asked whether Bachmann had any critique of “Romneycare” in Massachusetts, Bachmann instead repeated “Obamacare will steamroll over all the state laws” and suggested that what anyone else will do, or has done, is not relevant to her plans. .

Perhaps... she just didn’t say something negative about Romney because she doesn’t want to slam another GOP’er. Her focus was on Obama’s healthcare and she didn’t get “tricked” into this becoming a mud slinging competition. IMHO.
It's beautiful.
Stand united against another Obama term, at this point, and not turn on each other. I see wisdom in this.
That didn't stop her campaign consultant Ed Rollins from bashing Palin, did it?
She handled it very well, IMO. Good for her.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the candidates decided on this as a tactic prior to the debate. Attacking one another just feeds the MSM agenda. Don’t give them what they want. Give them what they don’t want.
Veep?
Agreed. After watching that last night - I felt a lot better about our chances.
Any of those guys is better than Obama
Her campaign manager sure did say something negative against another woman who’s not even in the race yet
There’s a huge difference between a state choosing some kind of universal healthcare and the federal government mandating that the states adopt a universal program.
While I wouldn't want to turn everything into a "Isn't-Sarah-Marvelous?" thread, I think that Palin has shown good skill in dealing with the media. Ignore them. Don’t give them what they want. Give them what they don’t want. It seems like a lot of Republican candidates are doing this, and it can only help us.
If this is a tactic that puts Bachmann or Cain or Palin in the White House, I'll be thrilled.
Do you think she learned a lesson from the Palin comment since this is post that event or do you think she actually likes Romney?
That old 11th commandment is guaranrteeing a romney nomination.
Palinesque wouldn't you say? They may be bashing Palin, but it looks like they may have taken a page right out of her playbook. Stay on topic.
Michele is running for vice president.
Exactly, She is Washington Insider, she knows that establishment will go with Romney and they will support her for Vee PEE.
I agree. I'm hoping we've learned something on media bias and how to deal with it. We're smarter than they are. We have to use it.
Now, as a MA resident, I can say that I'm pretty unhappy about what Romney did to healthcare in MA. He's not getting my vote. But it is absolutely true that what Obama did at the federal level is a disaster and completely unconstitutional.
