[Mr. K]

WHY THE HELL IS BACHMAN GOING ON CBS????

JUST DONT BOTHER WITH THE LIBERAL MEDIA

[Diogenesis]

Wallace starts by PIMPING his (and Fox's) Mitt Romney
Showing a graphic with fake data showing Romney in front
and Gov. Palin not even listed.

Wallace (RomneyBOT misogynist):
"Why are you a front runner?
You and Romney are out? front what is the choice?"

Bachmann: "I.. I.. I.. I.. I.. "
(No mention against RomneyCARE or Romney)

Wallace (RomneyBOT Romney-defender):
"Are you suggesting that Romney is not sincere?"
(Bachmann avoids comment.)

Wallace (RomneyBOT operative):
"We will address the other candidates later."

Then, astonishingly, With Fox's RINO Romney safe,
Wallace begins his fierce attack on Ms. Bachmann
and her husband.

FOX NEWS? Biased of 'out the gate'.

Ms. Bachmann? Not vetted by Fox
but clearly running for Romney's VP.

[TomGuy]

This interview of Bachmann is just vicious!

It seems nitpicky.

$30k for clinic employee training. Oh the horror! [How many other governmental programs have wasted that much and more?]

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Same sex marriage?

She believes marriage is between a man and a woman. Also believes people should decide on this issue.

She refers to 10th amendment and belief in states rights. Wants Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

She won’t let Wallace interrupt her answer.

[TomGuy]

FNS

When Wallace isn’t liking Bachmann’s response, he tries to interrupt, to change the direction.

He is trying to get her to attack the other GOP candidates.

[gov_bean_ counter]

The questions of Romney care remain an opportunity for Representative Bachmann to give her philosophical position on the proper role of government and the individual at all levels of government. It was one more opportunity to see if her "fiscal" conservatism is skin deep or if it goes all the way to the bone. An opportunity to stand up for individual choice and sound the warning call against an overreaching government at all levels. Remember, Tea Party activists don't' just operate at the Federal level. People are working at local and state levels to take back their government. And as the potential "Head" of the Republican Party , she needs to understand that.

I think it was another missed opportunity, but not altogether unexpected. Her vote on ethanol subsidies and her unwillingness to shut down the government during the CRA should give people pause. But it won't.

I am not convinced that Mrs. Bachmann is a small government conservative, but rather a targeted government Republican.

Yep, people here will tell me I'm FOS, but you know what? it won't be the first time and it certainly won't be the last time.

[Diogenesis]

Wallace is Mitt Romney's lawyer
in his vicious interview of Ms. Bachmann.

How we all miss Wallace asking Romney his favorite color.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

She’s disappointed that Romney wouldn’t sign the pro-life pledge.

She has a “titanium spine” on what it takes to turn the economy around.

Asking her about her gaffes...”Are you a flake?”

She says that is insulting.

[animal172]

Did Wallace just call her a flake?

[bray]

Are you a flake? What kind of question is that? Would he ever ask a Democrat that question? Outrageous!!

Pray for America

[TomGuy]

FNS

Wallace brings up gaffes.

57 states
10,000 killed by a tornado in a Kansas town of 1,000
etc etc etc

Then, there is the gaffe-prone Biden

==

Wallace asks Bachmann if she is ‘flakey’. [How crude!]

[maica]

What composure she has! Wow!

“Are you a flake?”

I would have smacked him, or walked off the set.

[upchuck]

Other than for sheer entertainment value, polls at this point are worthless. The only people paying attention are political news junkies like ourselves.

Don’t believe me? Stop random shoppers going into a store and ask them to name three of the Republican Presidential candidates. You’ll get lots of blank stares.

[who knows what evil?]

Wallace should conduct these interviews wearing a ‘MITT 2012’ t-shirt...

[ThreePuttinDude]

Thanks A B
still lurking and reading late.. 8^)

[upchuck]

Both are in a specially designed holding pen and are available to jump in if there is a last minute illness or cancellation.

Let me guess... that holding pen has a massage table, doesn't it?

[TomGuy]

Edited:

FNS

Wallace brings up gaffes, ignores:

57 states
10,000 killed by a tornado in a Kansas town of 1,000
etc etc etc

Then, there is the gaffe-prone Biden

[Diogenesis]

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz) says the GOP is pushing
ROMNEY’s IDEAS of calling TAXES, ‘fees’.

WTF

This is terrifying. New taxes disguised as FEES.

[upchuck]

I don’t watch the Sunday shows because I don’t watch TV. But I hope ABC takes Cluburn to the mat over the Boeing/NRLB/South Carolina/union issue.

[TomGuy]

Stop random shoppers going into a store and ask them to name three of the Republican Presidential candidates. You’ll get lots of blank stares.

Right. Except for news junkies, the general public won't pay much attention until their own state primaries and the national party conventions.
