The problem with Bachman is she doesn’t have the political savvy to avoid making statements that while correct, will be feasted upon by the leftist media. Minimum wage is a good example. Sure, eliminating the minimum wage would lead to more employment, but it isn’t worth pursuing because the MSM will beat you to death with it (as they are doing),
I’m a little worried too. She got her US History wrong this morning with ABC, mixing up John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
I think our conservative candidates need to stop trying so hard to impress the liberal media and the liberal interviewers.
The problem with everyone alive is that they don’t have the political savvy to avoid making statements that while correct, will be feasted upon by the leftist media. We can't blame every decent conservative for the insane, rabid attacks of the far left fringe and then complain when all we have left is Bob Dole, John McCain, and (heaven forbid) Mitt Romney. What we need to do is accept that imperfect display of "media savvy" and reject the bigotry and venom of the media. I'm okay with Bachmann's imperfections, as I am with DeMint's, Palin's, and Cain's. I'll take a basically good person with detectable flaws blown out of proportion by a sexist and anti-American media over an evil thug like Obama any day, regardless of how enthusiastically the media fawn over the community organizer's savvy.
