I hope she has a roaring comeback

[Utmost Certainty]

lol@Bachmann writing a ‘memoir’ when she’s only been in Congress for 5 years.

[Utmost Certainty]

Must be why she’s hanging in the race, so she can hustle her book.

Hope she hangs in there. I’d like a chance to consider voting for her. She now should be in the top tier imo.

[Liberty Valance]

bttt

Not to mention Medicare part D. W really jammed his foot on the accellerator on the road to ruin wih that one.

[mean ogre]

And expanding the Dept of Education by 40% didn’t help much either.

[Rudder]

I hope she has a roaring comeback

Me too...but not for POTUS.

She could be our "Crony Capitalism" meme enforcer.

[vpintheak]

Can’t say I can argue with her on that one. I don’t think any conservative could.

[TigersEye]

I’m afraid she’s right on the money.

[Brimack34]

I like MB she is my rep. But I blame Rove for Bush turn. Rush said Bush was conservative Rush would not lie.

[Dapper 26]

Is GWB running again? What is it with politicians blaming Bush? IT”S OBAMA that’s the problem. Anything else by any candidate is a distraction. Bachman is off my “I shall consider” list.

I'm convinced that W's biggest weakness was that he was basically a good man (albeit too trusting, naive in many ways, and accepted advice too readily) and his Christian values and "Compassionate Conservatism" led him to make bad decisions which tilted more towards Liberal policies than Conservative ones.

With regards to the "Bailout" he relied on the bottom-feeding, scumbag, Paulson (who should be sitting in some Fed Big House) for advice which was "self-serving" and much as W relied on (faulty) advice about the "Peaceful Nature of Islam" by those who were appeasers and supporters of the Religion of Peace, (MOST NOTABLY GROVER NORQUIST) his reliance on Paulson did not serve him (or the country) well.

[muddler]

Me too.

[sickoflibs]

His 2007 decision to bail out banks? 2007?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I’d be willing to bet serious dollars that you’ll find nary a discouraging word about Mitt Romney her new book though.

[mean ogre]

She didn’t write this article.

[sickoflibs]

RE :”She didn’t write this article.”

Yes, it is hard to believe that she would write a book with such a serious error (TARP in 2007) in it and make it all the way through publishing.

What always bothers me is all the candidates love to glob onto the TARP bailouts as the evil, because that is Republican base candy. That is just to easy to do now as the bailouts are very unpopular.

A serious candidate would instead talk about how they as POTUS would have kept a housing equity/debt bubble from happening in the first place. I bet any of the candidates faced with the catastrophe that happened in Fall 2008 and the impossible choices would have soiled themselves.

TARP was an obscenity. But the real problem was the housing bubble.
