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.

[Scotsman will be Free]

That’s true.

[saganite]

Don’t worry about it. It’s mostly just inside baseball type stuff.

[Lakeshark]

Your so full of it grapes, go ahead, tell us why (if she wants to win), she would not tee off on a question about a weakness of a major opponent...

Go ahead, splain it for us.

[Vendome]

Smart Girl.

Let Romney do himself in and then she can pick up his delegates and votes without alienating anyone.

“Not really considering the target at this early stage in the primary is Obama, not each other.”

Do you really believe that?

Then this season is completely different then any I’ve seen since1956. And all this time I thought a candidates primary objective was to differentiate himself from the rest of the field as quickly and clearly as possible. And that it was a stone cold obvious given that they were all running against the incumbent.

Then again you might be on to something since Willard seems to sort of running as Obama-White with some blather about other things that will change with the wind.

[MNJohnnie]

Curious why certain Freepers, like the Democrat directed News media, are so desperate to promote fighting between the Republican candidates?

Why this rabid determination to keep ALL focus off the complete failure of the 0 regime?

Another question, having crawled way out on this trash everyone who isn't Palin limb, what are you going to do if Palin does NOT run and goes out and supports someone you all have spent all your time around her trashing?

[Vendome]

You guys keep pushing that stoopid meme.

Michelle has been very vocal for two and a half years.

Your guy, Mitt, has been largely absent and his only schtick, erh, sales pitch is “This president has failed!”.

Well, ain’t that ducky? Mitt, Mr. Wonderful, please enlighten us with your grand idea.

[driftdiver]

We finally get an election where they aren’t slinging mud (yet) and people still complain.

[presently no screen name]

but it isn’t Michelle’s job to knock him off..

It's her job to be able to answer questions and that one certainly isn't one coming from left field.

Wake me up when they go through her garbage and move in next door to her. Until then - this is all pattycake.

[editor-surveyor]

Bachmann is naked now.

Let her go into freefall.

[Bigtigermike]

Palin said last night that it was perfectly fine to go after each other records in office so that the public can be informed

[SharpRightTurn]

Wolfie and the rest of the leftist media will do everything they can to create a stir by getting Republican candidates to pick a fight with each other. That will keep the heat off Zero by fostering infighting in the ranks. Instead, like they did in this week’s debate, they should be smacking Zero 24/7.

Since the primary season doesn’t start for 7 more months, there’ll be plenty of time for the candidates to stake out their distinctive positions.

Attach Obama. Relentlessly.

[saganite]

First, I’m not trashing anyone. Read my posts. Second’ well there is no second. Read “First”.

[presently no screen name]

what are you going to do if Palin does NOT run and goes out and supports someone you all have spent all your time around her trashing?

Is that all you have - "What IF"?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

As far as I can tell, the question was a complete nonstarter. As President, her concern would be federal laws like Obamacare, not state laws like Romneycare.

Bachmann won't lose my vote over this.

[Artemis Webb]

"Palin said last night that it was perfectly fine to go after each other records in office so that the public can be informed"

So did she then go after anybody?

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Who said they have to sling mud? RomneyCare = ObamaCare and I am totally against ObamaCare and want it rescinded or found to be unconstitutional by the SCOTUS. I also don't want anyone I consider for my president to play these political, back scratching games. Our country is going down and I want someone who is on the side of this country and not out for political gain.

[Lakeshark]

She hasn't been asked so far grapes, but Bachmann was.

You don't find it strange that she didn't take the opportunity to point out the flaws of one of her major opponents when given the chance?
