Bachmann’s Pardon-gate
http://minnesotaindependent.com/11967/bachmanns-pardon-gate-more-about-her-letter-withdrawing-pardon-request-for-petters-associate-vennes ^

Posted on 06/22/2011 9:47:39 PM PDT by RED SOUTH

Bachmann wrote the letter urging the president to pardon Vennes for his 1987 conviction on federal money laundering, illegal firearm sales and cocaine distribution charges. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison.

Vennes, has been a major financial contributor to Bachmann since 2005. Was Bachmann’s letter in support of Vennes’ presidential pardon a quid pro quo for Vennes’ largesse? Until Bachmann releases her original letter, the motivation behind it won’t be known. Bachmann chief of staff Michele Marston told Minnesota Independent Monday that “We’re trying to track down a copy of that letter."

A Palinista wouldn’t know the truth if it slammed them upside the head.

The truth is abhorrant to them. Just look at this thread where you all jump on and want so much to believe this is the truth. Selective truthfulness.

The truth is only truth to you if it is pro Palin. If it is pro anyone else it is a lie and if it knocks someone other than Palin it is the bonafide truth, even if it came out of the mouth of Larry O’Donnell. LOL

Y’all do the same with polls. If Rass has a good poll for Palin one week, why he is a great guy and accurate, dontcha know.

If next week if it isn’t so good for Palin, polls mean nothing and Rass is a evil FOX news guy, rarely accurate. LOL

Internet Straw polls are the same. If it is pro Palin it gets posted as the absolute truth over and over. If it is pro Cain or anyone else, well, those folks must of stormed the poll so it ain’t worth a tinkers damn. Of course we all know that Palin fans would never storm an internet poll. Oh never!

LOL, you are funny.

You need professional help. A simple search of your posts proves otherwise. Of course, those ‘trashing’ Bachmann can easily claim your alleged rationale for ‘criticizing’ Palin as well.

Dittos. Though I have gone from like to like warm on Bachmann. I’d still support her, though, if she gets the nod. On a Romney ticket? Hell no.

Oh the irony.........

You really don't remember what you (and the twenty or so other PDSers) did on the despicable anti-Palin threads that pissant posted, do you?

You really need to go look, and then check out the mirror for a while.

LOL.

No, he was pwned by me.

I'm just reminding one of his disciples who has forgotten what the @sshole was like.

I am not surprised you keep count. Hilarious. Has to be hard for you because you only have 10 fingers and 10 toes.

At least I think that would be a good guess, sharky

Lady, I am not as much in need of help as you are. One of these days I suspect it will be even worse for you.

I don’t have a weird fetish for pissant as you do. He lives rent free in your heads.

Anyone who dares disagree or posts a link with a fact is “pissant”.

So. Is this any worse than Obama voting for late-term abortions while an Illonois State Senator and crowing about it?

What a monumentally stupid comment. Even if it were a straight-up, flagrant quid pro quo, the letter isn't going to say that.

Actually, there are so few of you and you screeched so loud and hard for so long it was hard not to realize you didn't need to count above twenty.

As to pissant, the man was deranged and sick, one who needed professional help in the worst way.

His cult followers need it too........
