WASHINGTON, DC A new Iowa poll, which shows the most recent leanings of likely Republican voters in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, has Michele Bachmann in a statistical dead heat with Mitt Romney. This morning Bachmann appeared on Chris Wallaces Fox News Sunday and was asked Are you a flake? Was Wallace simply being a tough journalist, or is Fox News bias in favor of Mitt Romney showing?
Would Wallace ask Romney, "Are you a socialist?" in reference to Romneycare.
....Romney is well known to voters because of his 2008 presidential run. Given that he has a higher national name recognition among voters than do any of his announced opponents, it could be argued that if Romney were truly the peoples choice, he would be running away with the race. He isnt.
And that makes Republican elites, the party faithful, very unhappy. It also seems to chap the backside of Fox News.
...a parade of talking head after talking head discredits the entire field of GOP candidates, and potential candidates from Sarah Palin to Rick Perry.
Fox......put Democratic strategist on the air this morning to assess the potential candidacy of Texas Governor Rick Perry. Basically, she said that she cant believe were actually talking about the possibility of another Texan running. Amazing! Throw Rick Perry and the other 27 million of us who live in Texas under the bus.
Mention...Sarah Palin and Fox News gets mighty testy, despite the fact that Palin works for Fox News. Krauthammer has attacked Palin and Karl Rove is completely dismissive of the former Governor of Alaska.
..... The Cypress Times is unabashedly Christian and conservative and we will not be dishonest with our readers by pretending to be something we are not. I wish other media outlets would do the same. They wont. ....

Wallace was rude in asking this question, and I agree with previous posters that I have never heard a male politician asked such a question.
That being said, I thought Michelle did great today. She answered the "flake" question quite well (referring to it as insulting), and then went on to cover her qualifications, etc. I think she looked good, sounded good --- certainly didn't sound like a flake.
Romney is the flake.
Oh hell, it’s going to be a long 17 mos. of this stuff!
Oh hell, it’s going to be a long 17 mos. of this stuff!
The anti-Texas bigotry being expressed on TV is stunning. The talking heads are actually saying it out loud. We know they hate the south, the southwest, and all conservatives everyplace.
But it’s finally open season on the people who populate fly-over country.
The opening round in that war is their “Hate Texas” campaign! Every citizen in America should note that millions and millions of Americans have been written off by the media...and that because those people happen to live in Texas.
Would you list a couple of those insults, please (perhaps with a link)?
I was unaware of them.
Americans have been backed into what amounts to a corner, and they are sick of 70% being forced to live like a vocal 20% demand. I think the Tea Party movement is a reflection of this. We are fed up and pushing back. Not going to give one more inch.
Who is Ron Paul?
Pop music for $200., Alex...
Ill answer that Chris...Right after I hear the answer Joe Biden gives when u ask him that same question..

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."
SOME Bachmann fans here have forgiven her for slighting Palin. Although Rollins made a false apology, Bachmann, to my knowledge, has said nothing about this.
And, if Palin doesn't run, as things stand now, I'll support Bachmann for POTUS, (and hold a slight grudge.)
Bachmann was a supporter of Jimmy Carter in 1976 and she and her husband worked on his campaign.
Why do let New Hampshire?
Name one insult she made toward Palin or admit you're mistaken.
Now, you're just making yourself look dumb. Why would Bachmann be aligned with Romney when she can beat him?
Try coming up with some new material.
Ah, shove it...and read post 51 for your answer.
Bachmann supports Ethanol supports, RomneyCARE,
global warming, and the nutty ideas of Milt Romney.
Bachmann proved today on FOX News that she
supports her “President Romney”.
No wonder she dispatched Rollins to attack Gov. Palin.
Bachmann = Romney = Carter = Soros
It is YOU who is mistaken and disingenuous.
Backstabber RINO Bachmann sent Rollins to attack Gov. Palin.
Good thing for America, the backstabber, hypocrite,
RINO Bachmann exposed herself.
What was her response?
OMG!! They were in the same photograph together! This is awful, it proves everything!
