Gosh. Just think if these politicians had to answer whether or not they think Romney’s gun-banning, his $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions, his unilaterally-imposed sodomy fake marriage, or his homosexualization of the public schools disqualify him.
Bachmann could have easily have stated something like this:
“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.”
1) That is for the GOP primary voters to decide.
2) The people of Mass wanted this, but I think it is undesirable and Unconstitutional at the federal level.
3) My focus at this point in the primaries is not to tear down the GOP, but to put forth my own vision for the American people.
4) I think it will damage Mitt Romney politically because of the man he would be running against.
5) I don't think it is much of an issue - as States are supposed to be a proving grounds to try ideas, and when it is no longer popular in Mass they will drop it.
What is not a politically viable answer is a five time non answer. You need to be a chatty Cathy - the string is pulled and SOMETHING comes out of your mouth. Saying you are not going to answer doesn't look Presidential - unless you are talking about a few less savory Presidents.
And what is with the Big Bad Wolfie asking it FIVE times? If a Fox journalist asked their guy the same question FIVE times they would say it was disrespectful.
The word disqualified is the keyword. It isn’t up to her to declare Romney disqualified. It is up to the voters.
Give it a rest, I don’t see any other candidates saying Romney is disqualified. Of course if you aren’t a candidate, you can say whatever tickles your fancy and look real popular.
The left play people like you because you and other Palin fans play right into their hands, you do all the work for them and carry their water. Y’all have been doing that all day around here. Obama doesn’t have to do a thing. Don’t think this won’t happen to anyone else either.
No judgment in her brain.
Her refusal to criticize that phony son of a bitch tells you everything you want to know.
Her 2 terms in the House have been all about ginning up for the next opportunity, and she is nothing but another megalomaniac.
Her job is to deflate Palin and give Romney Tea Party cred.
I didn't see it, but it's not Bachmann's job to say Romney is disqualified from being the Republican nominee, it's the primary voters who make that decision.
Bachmann is an amazing conservative candidate doing exceptionally well and I'm seeing a sudden flurry of posts from people throwing her overboard over the dopiest little things.
No candidate is perfect. None. Bachmann will make some missteps now and again, won't be pure on every issue, etc, but she is a heck of a solid conservative and seems to be off to a great start. While Palin is my candidate, if she doesn't run Bachmann seems to be a great alternative so far.
Romney/Anybody is DOA.
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.

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.”
There is no winning in answering a question like that. The story would then be about Bachmann slamming Romney, instead of slamming Obama. She isn’t stupid.
ALL the other candidates are tiptoeing around Romney, even Pawlenty who famously referred to “ObamneyCare” just last weekend!
