If she were my candidate, and what she did was defensible, I'd be in there trying to mount a reasonable argument to those three questions of mine (and this new one).

**crickets**
can get very loud in their own way........

Bachmann only coopted the Tea Party movement on the orders of Karl Rove who plucked her from the backbenches of the Minnesota state legislature and funded her campaign for the House in 06 and personally campaigned for her.

She supports ethanol subsidies and has recieved with her family over 250k in farm subsidies through a family trust for a farm they own.

Michele Bachmann wrote several letters to Bush adm in 2007 advocating a presidential pardon for Frank Vennes who was a large donor to her , Norm Coleman and Tim Pawlenty. Vennes pleaded guilty and no contest to federal charges of money laundering, cocaine and firearms trafficking in 1987.

Bachmann , who used to be a liberal , organized for Jimmy Carter in 76. Now she has Ed "walking around money" Rollins managing her campaign. Rove and the Bush people are working behind the scenes to nominate Romney and made a deal with Bachmann to split the Tea Party vote for the VP spot. That is why Bachmann won't critisize Romney on Romneycare.

Bachmann has no experience as a mayor or governor and has no business experience. Furthermore , she has no legislative success to show for. Bachmann is an emty suit who says the right things for her base , much like Obama in 07.

Last but not least , why is the leftist media all of the sudden helping Bachmann. All of the sudden they are giving het good press ...just like McCain.

The only loudness is in the echo chamber of your heads.

I will let her defend herself. She is all grown up. Unlike a few folks I know.

They are just getting stated. Time will tell.

I guess at least one Bachmann supporter figures that if these issues are treated as non-issues and ignored or shouted down long enough, they'll go away.

Unfortantely for them, we're not Democrats. We don't bury the garbage, we expect it to be dealt with.
