Rush Limbaugh: 'Bachmann may have jumped the shark'
The Daily Caller ^ | September 13, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 09/13/2011 12:29:10 PM PDT by supahstar2005

After scoring points against Texas Gov. Rick Perry in last night’s Republican debate on the issue of Gardasil vaccinations, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann made a statement on the Fox News Channel that she was informed Gardasil caused one child’s mental retardation.

On his Tuesday radio show, Rush Limbaugh thought attacking Perry on that issue was ill-advised but admitted Perry had “goofed up” with that executive order.

“Alright, Perry goofed up by using an executive order on the Gardasil,” Limbaugh said. “There’s no question he goofed up on it instead of taking it to the Texas legislature. He’s admitted that over and over again. I think one of the reasons that Perry gets tired is that he had all the questions. He had to answer a question three or four times last night and he did it smiling.”

I definitely think Rush is on the Perry bandwagon, But Bachmann did herself no favors last night exaggerating the Gardasil issue. I never thought I'd say this... But I am getting a little tired of her....

I've been defensive of her but no more. This woman must have rehearsed the phrase, "little, innocent, twelve year old girls" over and over. It got old.

Why has Bachmann sold out to Romney? Why didn't she attack Romney?

These campaigns bring out the worst in folks.

Bachmann has some great conservative ideas...but she’s a loose canon...too often. She’s also playing hard ball politics within her party and I am not keen on the way she’s doing it. Much worse is that pissant Romney. Fact of the matter is, Perry is more electable than either of these two.

Michele Bachmann: Accidental Kamikaze

http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2011/09/13/michele-bachmann-accidental-kamikaze/

Pretty much sums it up. It seems she went one step too far.

I suppose if Perry wanted to be nasty and petty, he could mention something about Botox to Bachmann....

Perry mandated Gardasil, but Romney mandated that every one purchase healthcare insurance, which is far worse, and I didn’t hear Bachman blast away at Romney.
And that has been one of her core campaign issues.

Bachmann isn't experienced enough to be the President.

Bachmann isn't knowledgeable enough to be the President.

Bachmann isn't polished enough to be the President.

Bachmann isn't electable enough to be the President.

Did you see her kiss Romney as she got on stage during the introductions?

Maybe she’s auditioning for VP.

Exactly, debate after debate before Perry entered they just let Romney slide, but suddenly once Perry join the race, it’s bash Perry time all the time.

Now I said that [Michele] Bachmann may have jumped the shark. It’s just a gut a feeling.

Rush is being a little too generous. Bachmann shot herself in both feet...once at the debate & again in the Greta interview post debate. She's done.

If there is an Opt-Out, it really isn't mandatory then is it?

And aren't all kids "required" to have immunizations for measles and chicken-pox before they start grade school?

It was a stupendous gaff. Some strange woman she doesn’t know from Eve comes up to her and tells her this story and she runs with it? Unbelievable.

I think Rush was cheerleading for Bachmann earlier on but today he was right on the money re jumping the shark. All I keep hearing today was her stupid remark that this vaccine caused mental illness and her accusation that Perry was on the take.
Way to go Bachmann-you are really relevant now.

LOL. Maybe he should take off the gloves in the next debate. He's been nothing but civil and respectful. So have Cain and Newt. The others are all coming across as desperate.

First, it was never implemented, the Legislature scuttled it.

Second, the opt out was ridiculously complicated and would have needed to be renewed every two years.

We saw that kiss and hubby even said something about it. Who knows what kind of an agreement she has come to with Romney. He bought off Pawlenty but it was evident they were going after Perry.

So much for Bachmann having Tea Party credentials.
