[RED SOUTH]

Bachmann’s penchant for earmarks dates back to her days in the Minnesota state Senate. Despite her reputation as a fiscal conservative, from 2001-2006, then-state Senator Bachmann proposed more than $60 million in earmarks, including a $710,000 “Bond For Centerville Local Improvements Around Highway 14″ and a $40,000,000 “Bond for Lino Lakes And Columbus Township Highway Interchanges.”

Razor blade?

Bachmann is in one week, the dirt starts surfacing.

Palin has been putting up with this for 2 1/2 years. Still nothing.

[acapesket]

Wow Brutha! You relly got a hair up your ass for MB!!

[bossmechanic]

And so it begins.
Sad

RED SOUTH you need to get a life. You could not be more wrong about Bachmann. She is one of the most conservative members of congress. I am not sure what your problem is, and I don't understand why you would be spending so much time posting all the posts about her when she is more conservative than all the candidates.

What will you do when Palin decides not to run and it's down to Romney, Pawlenty, or Bachmann?

[smoothsailing]

Gee, this article is a month old.

What’s next, RED SOUTH, a vanity post about how Michelle Bachmann beats her children?

[Huskrrrr]

$10 per vote vs $50,000 per vote.

Just like Palin, Bachmann will likely have every aspect of her life under the microscope. It will be interesting to see is she holds up as well and comes out as squeaky clean as Palin.

Right now Bachmann is going through somewhat of a honeymoon with the RINOs and even the folks at MSNBC because they see her as a means of keeping Palin out of the race or slowing Palin down.

Once Michele's usefulness ends, it will be open season on her.

The old divide and conquer theory in play. A little earlier I believe it was Santorum that the dirt was piled on. What Republican is up next?

[DustyMoment]

Thus beginneth the smear campaign against Bachman.

The leftists are just terrified of our women and will say/do anything to smear them. At this rate, we’ll only have Romney left by the convention and most of us don’t want him.

Whatever we do, DON’T LET THE DBM PICK OUR CANDIDATE AGAIN!!!!!!

[P-Marlowe]

The long knives have been unsheaved.

That being said, pushing for pardons in exchange for campaign donations is really a sign of a corrupt politician.

Unless you vote “present” like Obama, a member of Congress or a state legislator after prolonged debate will have votes that some will not agree with. And he/she will have company in making that decision such as members of the same party.

A governor on the other hand has to make decisions that only he/she can make - that’s why its called the executive branch. And sometimes those are made in response to an event, natural or manmade. A governor’s record would be a lot more representative of the type of person he/she would be as president. Michele may be very good at debating questions as she has had lots of practice in the state legislature and US House chambers, and she may be good in responding to district constituent concerns with legislation or earmarks. However, it’s not the same experience a governor has in singularly deciding questions and taking actions that directly affect the public across a state.

What's the matter Red South, did your keyboard malfunction? Where is the obligatory statement that Bachmann is a Rove plant in font 6 letters?

You are to Bachmann what Pissant was to Palin. Pure hatred with a slice or two of unprovable conspiracy. Here we are recycling old news to get your slams in on a Conservative woman.

Bachmann stated on numerous interviews about the pardon. If you read closely to this hack article, you can see his true motives for bringing it up:

Some have questioned whether or not evangelical Christians like Bachmann may be naive when it comes to claims of redemption.

Do you subscribe to that form of bigotry towards her? Do her religious beliefs make her too naive to lead?

And in the distance, I hear the faint roar of the trash-o-matic machine kicking in to higher gear.

[rabidralph]

Let me know when she’s handing out needles to addicts and using money to build bike paths for her church.

[CharlesWayneCT]

MAybe we need a Bachman truth file. We’ve got to burn this village down to save it.

The Willard bots are worried.
