Wallace apologized. It may not have salvaged his career, but it was a good move on his part. Bachmann didn't accept his apology which IMHO is going to kill her career.
She professes to be a Christian. Christians are commanded to forgive and continue to forgive. By refusing to forgive she is being petty.
And then to use the excuse for not forgiving is that she was insulted because Wallace implied that she was not a serious candidate is they height of hypocrisy after she used Rollins to make the same allegations against Palin. Bachmann has never publicly apologized for that stupid remark. Instead she used an intermediary to leak a story that she took Rollins to the woodshed.
Frankly, I was excited about Bachmann as a candidate because I thought she was another Sarah Palin. Unfortunately she's not in the same league with Sarah Palin.
Here we are just a couple of weeks into her candidacy and she's already shot herself in the foot at least two times. If she keeps this up, her congressional seat is going to be at risk.
I agree entirely. I saw her as a logical alternative to Palin. But she has shown herself to be completely unprepared for a presidential run. Heck, look at her complete denial that she and her husband had received cash from their father-in-law's farm - when her very own Congressional disclosure filings indicate otherwise. In such an instance, and knowing the story was in play, she should have had a complete explanation of the matter. A blanket denial with no explanation puts her in the position of contradicting her own official paperwork. Never a good thing.
But try telling her supporters that Bachmann is doing a really bad job out of the gate. They adhere to the same approach that Bachmann is following - pretend there is no problem. It's not hard to guess how well that approach will play out over time.
I could vote for Bachmann or Palin. I have respect for both. This “unserious” talk is just politics. But Wallace isn’t on either campaign staff and his comment sounded more like a personal attack. Wallace, a lot of Freepers are saying you are an ‘idiot’. Are you and ‘idiot’ Wallace?
