Michele Bachmann Vows To ‘Repeal Obamacare’ But Refuses To Criticize Mitt Romney Or Romneycare

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. .

Calling a spade a spade will be the norm during this campaign. Get used to it.

No, Rollins was trying to get political advantage by slimy behavior.

Normal MO for the GOP Elite Rollins.

And just because Palin has not announced, does not imply, by any intelligent standard, that she is not serious about being a candidate, in fact, taking the sum total of her actions over that last year and stacking them up against the sum total of Bachman's actions makes Bachman look like a Piker!

Nice try though PDS Sufferer!

I know of absolutely “no one” who supports or likes Romney...

Is that you, Ms. Kael?

Dirtboy is a good name for you.

I can think of lots of good names for PDS trolls like you.

As far as "name-calling against Palin supporters", I do no such thing. I insult Palin Worshipers. There is a difference.

Yeah, you sure made that differentiation.

Last time I checked, Bachmann was the candidate, and a legitimate one at that, not Rollins.

Nice side-step but Rollins is her mouthpiece. Either she can't control him or he attacked Bachmanns "friend" with her knowledge.

Since Bachmann has said nothing of the sort, that is what will matter most to the voters.

FReepers are a different matter. So are Palin supporters. And a load of people walked off Bachmann's FB page. She ticked off a lot of people. It was a mistake. A big one.

As far as "name-calling against Palin supporters", I do no such thing. I insult Palin Worshipers. There is a difference.

The only thing you are insulting is your own intelligence by calling those who are ardent supporters of Sarah Palin "Worshipers".

I would say the true "Worshippers" are those that get offended at every percieved little slight(Actually in this case concerning Bachman an objective observation) their candidates get. Then they have to start using perjorative terms instead of arguing intelligently.

[Bigtigermike]

Oh, so just as long as Bachmann and other candidates say nothing publicly but allow their advisers to attack other candidates, it’s ok in your book? Got it!

[dirtboy]

Rollins is still in charge of his own mouth and won't reflect much on Bachmann’s candidacy.

Sorry, but Rollins is a paid advisor for the Bachmann campaign. So Bachmann owns what her subordinate says about Palin.

I see it is a natural progression to go from PDS troll to Bachmann apologist. The thought process is the same.

[DJ MacWoW]

I hope that you don't support Romney.

NOTICE: FR DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT ABORTIONIST, GAY RIGHTS PUSHING BIG GOVERNMENT STATISTS

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

{Um, I would beg to differ. Palin has been the loudest voice against Obamacare (see death panels). Not Bachmann. Not even close.}

Now you are starting to make yourself look ridiculous! Other than on her Twitter account, how many bills has Palin introduced? Oh, that’s right, all she does is talk about it. Bachmann actually DOES something about it.

Like McFlame in 08? Who wants to go there again?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

[A congressman/woman would make a lousy president anyway. A legislator knows only one thing...how to make more laws.]

Yes, that Abraham Lincoln had no clue what he was doing because he was elected from his Congressional office.

[gov_bean_ counter]

So according to your convoluted logic, one has to be in the legislature to be considered a voice against bad law?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

We don't agree, so you resort to the standard name calling and insult exchange........ is that the example you want to set from Palin supporters?

[Outlaw Woman]

Well my dear Psycho, long time no debate.

There have been alot of things revealed regarding the Lincoln presidency and some not too flattering. In fact some would argue that he trampled all over the constitution during his presidency.

A different time a different era altogether. The modern legislator would make a lousy president. A governor or a former governor is a better choice. Of course a stump would be a better president than the madman we have now.

[ansel12]

Rollins is still in charge of his own mouth and won't reflect much on Bachmann’s candidacy. ,/i>

Rollins is her campaign leader that she hired to do just what he is doing, stop Palin, don't touch Romney.

Your one woman anti-Palin crusade is even making you blind to Romney's allies and assets.

[dirtboy]

We don't agree, so you resort to the standard name calling and insult exchange

Your apologist routine earned that.

........ is that the example you want to set from Palin supporters?

Coming from a long-term PDS troll who is now a Bachmann apologist, that is pretty funny.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yes, that Abraham Lincoln had no clue what he was doing because he was elected from his Congressional office.

Check your history. Lincoln Illinois house of representatives (1834-1842), President of the United States (1861-1865). Lincoln became President almost 20 years later. And the odds are against Bachmann.

House of Representatives - House Members Who Became President or Presidential Candidates*

Only Henry Clay (1824), James A. Garfield (1880), and John Anderson (1980) ran for President in the general election as sitting House Members. In Garfield’s case, the only successful instance of a sitting Representative becoming President, he had already been elected by the Ohio legislature to the U.S. Senate. Anderson ran as an independent challenger, and Clay’s candidacy predated the rise of the modern two-party system.

Looks like MB has all kinds of new friends in the media this morning....for now:

Dana Milbank: Michele Bachmann steals the show at GOP debate

Bachmann's pollster, Ed Goes, from the GOP Establishment's top polling firm was also raving about her.

[Artemis Webb]

The rule you two boys will live by during the primaries is that if any Republican candidate says even the least critical thing about Palin's ability or policies they will be on your personal hate list. Are you both also the kind who when Palin does not get the nomination you'll take your bat and ball and go home?

"They didn't give Sarah a chance to get her message out".
"They told lies about Sarah and confused the voters."
"This is all Karl Rove's fault".
"All the primary ballot boxes were fixed to eliminate Sarah's votes".

Yeah...you'll both take your bat and ball and go home.
