Why would she criticize Mittens? She’s basically working for him at this point.

[ExTxMarine]

When she jumped in, everyone was saying that Bachmann was Romney’s Stalking Horse! With her continued attacks on the HPV thing which is one of the LEAST of Perry’s problems (his immigration stance is FAR worse), she is showing what her real purpose is: help prop-up Romney!

She definitely went overboard with the mental retardation claim - there have been ZERO reports from ALL of the studies concerning this drug! As far as I am concerned, she can go join T-Paw and jump behind Romney out in the open!

[RobertClark]

I respect Bachmann and think she has done an exceptional job in Congress. However, the decisions she has made related to her campaign have demonstrated that she is not ready for prime time. Starting with the hiring of a Conservative hating pig, Ed Rollins, as campaign manager. She has turned into a gaffe machine. I can't determine if it is poor advisors or just plain failure.

I wish her well and hope she continues her work in Congress, but this campaign is O_V_E_R!!!! She is doing nothing to contribute to the broader issue at hand - defeating the marxist Obama. It is time to move on.

Copy the story not your opinion content part...thanks!~

[MNJohnnie]

Pathetic video and stupid damage control. How awful that she keeps talking about "injection".

Looks like the Perry camp has gone into full scale screaming panic mode. These sort of hysteric childish comments tell us more about YOU then they do about Bachmann.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Bachman jumps shark

[native texan]

I think she is imploding. She needs to keep her mouth shut for a while.

[beandog]

Why is it awful, is it not an injection? What is it supposed to be called?

[TigersEye]

Watch out, Michele! After pushing the hard line for the TEA Party conservatives
for the last few years they have suddenly turned into the Back Stabbers.

[nhwingut]

This chick makes me ill. She’s a Palin ripoff.

And she jumped shark with the “mental retardation” comments.

Perry made a small mistake and apologized and yet he’s being attacked. While Mitt Romneycare refuses to apologize for a MUCH LARGER mistake and she lets him slide.

It is so obvious she’s a shill for Romney.

[Beagle8U]

Getting shots cause retardation, Bachman got em, and she got it.

[Sacajaweau]

I went back and read about her history...I think she's REALLY looking for a Big Fat government job revolving around medicine.

In the meantime, I shake my head and say...Why would anyone think she's "Presidential"???

[KansasGirl]

Go away Michelle. What part of “opt-out” do you not understand? Obamacare and Romneycare don’t have an opt-out. You do, however, get penalized.

My Mom is right, she is shrill and doesn’t know when to shutup.

[GunRunner]

What the hell is PerryCare? It doesn't exist.

Bachmann with a pathetic attempt to backtrack from the Gardisil comments that she still hasn't apologized for.

[napscoordinator]

Brilliant video. If America was really wanting a conservative, she would be the front runner. People talk that talk but when it comes does to it, Republicans NEVER pick the conservative. They pick the establishment candidate. Even FREEPERS talk and talk about how we should have a conservative candidate, but NEVER walk the walk. Again in 2012, we are going to have a Republican sorta conservative and not a the best conservative.

[federal__reserve]

Calm down folks, this is primary season and Perry is currently leading in polls. Of course all the fire is directed at him. Attacking Huntsman won’t gain any traction in polls. If I know Bachmann, she and all others running will get behind Perry if he wins the nomination.

There is no need for us voters to attack any candidates right now. Let the game play itself out. How about just listing who you are for and what are their positives?

[AAABEST]

Bachmann is right... Gardasil actually does make people "retarded."

It's certainly made her retarded, and it's apparently made a bunch of posters on FR retarded as well.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Stick with the original title...and how hard is it to spell National Review Online.

[dan on the right]

I used to like her too, but now she is just fingernails in a blackboard. Her comments about mental retardation were over the top, she knows it, but won't apologize. Perry had to guts to apologize about that issue repeatedly (unlike Romney regarding the failed Romneycare).

How has she been successful in Congress? Fighting stuff? Big deal. She failed. Didn't stop anything. It is easy to have a position when it doesn't matter.

Perry, Romney and Huntsman at least had to make real decisions that affected Repubs and Democrats in their states and do it fairly. Sure they had to compromise; that is what executives do.

As we have learned from Obama and now see in the legislative candidates for the GOP spot (excluding Newt), their job doesn't require compromise - their entire heavy lifting is to say yes or no to a vote. If their vote isn't the deciding vote, it doesn't impact anyone. Not a bad gig.

Michelle has to stop throwing bombs at other Repubs - she is going to lose and they won't forget it. I certainly won't. Romney better not win. What a blown dried politician - one that believes the gov’t can provide health care batter than the private sector! (He and Huntsman should primary Obama on the Dem side).

Perry has not been 100% perfect, but anyone running a state a large and complex as Texas for 10 years - and trying to be fair to all the people in his state - is going to have some unpopular decisions. Bottom line, he is the real deal and it is his to lose.

[meyer]

She’s teaming up with Romney - I can’t support that. The field is getting mighty thin.
