I can’t say Bachmann is pure as the driven snow, but she’s one of the few people in Congress addressing issues that I care about. I haven’t caught her making mistakes. I’ve thought quite highly of her based on what I’ve seen of her.
She stood up for the Tea Party and either started a caucus for them or helped start one. If that’s someone’s idea of a flawed politician, I’d like a double serving.
This wreaks of gotcha politics, and I’m not too impressed.
Michele Bachmann's new top consultant, Ed Rollins, began his tenure with scathing criticism of potential Bachmann rival Sarah Palin.
"Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years," Rollins told Brian Kilmeade on his radio show, Kilmeade and Friends. "She got the Vice Presidential thing handed to her, she didn't go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance, she gave up her governorship."
He suggested that the contrast would favor Bachmann.
"Michele Bachmann and others [have] worked hard, she has been a leader of the Tea Party which is a very important element here, she has been an attorney, she has done important things with family values."
