That she didn't fire him or bring him publicly to the woodshed surprised me. Attacking someone personally like he did, someone who had stumped and raised money for her is just beyond the pale.

I've always liked her as a congress critter, never said an unkind word about her, but the more I see of her the more I dislike what she's doing with her campaign.

Her unwillingness to attack Romney care when given the opportunity sealed my distrust for her.

yeap. and I didn't like her dodge of the abortion question the the debate. She has been for abortion in the case of rape, incest and the life of the mother. but when asked directly on the matter she gave a politcal answer that seemed to suggest she was totally against abortion in all circumstances.....

Republican U.S. Reps. Michele Bachmann, Chip Cravaack and John Kline and Democrat Collin Peterson are among 173 congressional co-sponsors of H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. Federal law prohibits government funding of abortions except in some cases including incest and rape, but H.R. 3 seeks to limit the exceptions to cases of “forcible rape.” In an article titled, “The House GOP’s Plan to Redefine Rape,” Mother Jones reports on the bill and includes analysis from Laurie Levenson who teaches criminal law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles: The bill hasn’t been carefully constructed, Levenson notes. The term “forcible rape” is not defined in the federal criminal code, and the bill’s authors don’t offer their own definition. In some states, there is no legal definition of “forcible rape,” making it unclear whether any abortions would be covered by the rape exemption in those jurisdictions. Peterson is among ten Democratic co-sponsors of the bill.
