Blitzer asked Bachmann 5 times if Romney was disqualified re: RomneyCare and she refused to answer.

Just happened, very strange! Wolf Blitzer Interview with Michele Bachmann. Blitzer asked Bachmann 5 times do you agree with Tim Pawlenty that Mitt romney is disqualified from being the Republican nominee for president because he supports mandated healthcare.?

She kept responding that she's against obamacare/mandates. Blitzer tried again to pin down some kind of answer. She evaded the question at every turn, didn't want to touch it and finally a frustrated Blitzer then says, "You obviously don't want to answer the question?"

I know people say that nominees shouldn't attack other nominees yet but if not now, when? because Romney is trying to create the "inevitability" card so that momentum carries him eventually to a plurality of the votes on the primaries.

I am guessing she wants to be his VP.

Romney/Anybody is DOA.

Blitzer asked the wrong question ~ he asked if she agreed with Tim Pawlenty ~ not if she disagreed with RomneyKKKare in Massachusetts.

By now these guys should have figured out she's not going to engage in hearsay type discussions with mind-numbed, knee-jerk, robot-like Leftwingtard MSM pukes.

Or maybe Wolf has figured that out but he just doesn't imagine himself to be one of those.

This is one of Michele's more endearing traits ~ she only answers the questions she wants to answer.

Blitzer's lead in, as I pointed out above, had nothing to do with RomneyKKKare. It was all about Pawlenty.

That's always a reason to not discuss Romney.

It was not a direct reasonable question. It was diversionary ~ with malice aforethought. Think of it as Blitzer testing to see if Michelle is on her toes ~ and she was.

If Sarah doesn’t enter, we will be stuck with two pukes, period.

Does this mean angry at her if she doesn't get it?

Far more time and effort has been spent on FR, a conservative site, badmouthing with pure speculation and total hate, a declared conservative candidate, Michele Bachmann, than has been spent going after the marxist Barack Obama today. Sad, isn’t it?

You have spent the past 18 months camped out on Palin threads mostly criticizing Palin.

Now you complain when posters criticize Bachmann.

Your hypocrisy is stunning.

She could have made a general statement in opposition to state mandates, didn't have the guts.

Tea Pary favorite? Like hell.

Her 2 terms in the House have been all about ginning up for the next opportunity

Is there any politician in a lower office that doesn't inspire to be in a higher office? Very few if any.

The problem with the question was structural ~ it was about what she thought of Tim Pawlenty's statements ~ as interpreted by Wolf Blitzer.

Give me a break ~ that's not a legitimate question ~ that's just more Leftwingtard puke.

Michelle's approach to being tossed that sort of garbage is to not respond to it.

Let me tell you, people who let Wolf Blitzer lead them around by the nose will find themselves doing a Tony Weiner ~ and you just don't want that.

Good for you, and for your mom. It is great that she has you to go to bat for her in the midst of all the bureaucratic foolishness.

I will add you both in my prayers, FRiend.

Governor Palin has already been asked s similar question and she made her answer about state and local mandates, which she was not for.

One is ready and one is not.

but it isn’t Michelle’s job to knock him off
I disagree. It is her job to knock Mitt off if she is serious about being President.

Are all you people THICK? MSM is just trying to get campaign ad material for the general election. If Romney gets the nod, you'll see ad after ad of Pawlenty & Bachmann (if she caves) trashing Romney. The dem ad saying, “see even their own party thinks he stinks”.

Last time we let the MSM pick our nominee. Let's not give them ANY help this time.

Yes, let the voters decide. A novel idea.

Here you go.

“However, even on a state level and even a local level, mandates coming from a governing body, it’s tough for a lot of us independent Americans to accept, because we have great faith in the private sectors and our own families … and our own businessmen and women making decisions for ourselves. Not any level of government telling us what to do.”

Well gee I am getting along in years but I do remember Ronald Reagan chose or was forced to choosey, persons unknown, the honorable George Herbert Walker Bush as his running mate. You know the one that called Reagan’s economic policies “Voodoo Economics”

did you see her email (out of the 24,000) that said she wouldn’t even support a mandate requiring helmets? that said it all right there for me. Mitt require you to submit to the state to the last full measure. Palin telling those pushing for helmet laws to go fly a kite...

I would’ve said, “You tell me, Wolfe.”

Wolfe just wants a sound bite.

“We Republicans don’t eat our own just for the pleasure of the media, Wolfe.”
