Gingrich has been on all sides of all issues.

[EternalVigilance]

I agree with her about Gingrich’s failure to provide equal protection for all, as the oath of office requires.

And yet, she too supports legislation that ends with “and then you can kill the baby.”

[BarnacleCenturion]

‘We will in fact be responsive to changing circumstances,’ Gingrich said, citing polls that gauge which abortion restrictions are favored by the public.” (Associated Press, 3/9/1990)

I sure hope the people of Iowa vote strongly in support of our Lady in the Race to be President.

[C. Edmund Wright]

What makes me think that Bachmann - and Santorum for that matter -are not very smart is how they are running this campaign.

Any dolt can stand back and see that the way to the top is to be the most effective at attacking big government and liberals in general and the media and Obama in specific.

And yet, like desperate little kids not getting love on the playground, Bachmann and Santorum keep attacking other candidates on the notion that they are not socially conservative enough.

Get a clue folks: our problem is Obama and liberal big government. And understanding that is the way to the top of the heap. No one has gained any traction in this whole race by attacking other people in the field.
No one.

Forget Gingrich, Cain is my man!

[Lady Lucky]

I like Bachmann when she’s attacking Obama. Not so much when she’s attacking other Republican candidates who are not Mitt Romney.

[Texas Eagle]

Just to be safe, we need to do everything we can to get as many Tea Partiers elected to Congress as possible as a hedge against a RINO like Romney who won't hesitate for a second to poke us in the eye every chance he gets or a go-along-to-get-along Republican like Newt.

Even if we Bachmann wins, she'll need an army of Tea Partiers to help her pass whatever agenda she has.

What is her agenda, by the way?

This is what bugs me about this race so far. Instead of bashing each other, these people should be advancing their ideas. That's what we're looking for; something to vote for, not someone to vote against.

[org.whodat]

Newt makes a living doing what he is paid to do, the man has no morals, and his god is money, with a sprinkle of young women.

[Tribune7]

This is what turns me off on Michele. She's like the old media, she'll snap at everyone but Mitt.

[bobtaftfan]

I like Michele Bachmann, but her attack on Newt Gingrich on this issue is a bit misleading.

Cutting off funding for Planned Parenthood would have meant an automatic veto by Bill Clinton, even assuming the Dems didn’t block the funding cut-off in the Senate, which they probably would have done. Look what happened when the current Congress tried to cut off Planned Parenthood funding. Are all the Republicans in the House therefore RINOs? No, of course not.

Overall, Newt compiled a solidly pro-life record in Congress. Just look at how pro-life and pro-abortion groups rated him:

1997-1998 National Right to Life Committee - 100%
1997 National Right to Life Committee - 100%
1996 National Right to Life Committee - 100%
1993-1996 Planned Parenthood - 0%
1997 NARAL Pro-Choice America - 0%

I’d be happy if they just stop tax-payer funding of all abortions and stop all late term abortions. That would be progress.

I like Newt’s idea of congress defining “personhood” which would take care of all the legislation, like Roe v Wade.

[Grunthor]

At this point it’s like a mosquito trying to bring down an elephant.

[hosepipe]

I am FOR Bachmann but she needs not to attack.... BUT INSPIRE..

She “should” lay out a better course to inspire toward a graduated “killing” of the federal “MONSTER”..
She started the “monster hunt” to kill the dragon...
Gingrich, Perry, AND Cain just got on the bandwagon...

These “jackwagons” are just threateners.. SHE is the actual “Grizzly Momma”..
She “should” ATTACK the Federal Beast not the Monte Python Knights in their armour..

If she were “smart” she would use the Monte Python Knights(Newt, Rick and Hermie) as cannon fodder..

Because she is “really” the ONLY conservative in the bunch..
Cain worked for the federal reserve.. an elite position.. for the elite..
And Newt and Rick have proven to get along quite well with democrats..

[MinuteGal]

Bachmann is in the death throes of defeat, wildly lashing out at her fellow GOP candidates on her way down.

If she were truly smart, she'd drop out with grace.....and support her favorite primary candidates.....and maybe she'll get an appointment in a future GOP presidency as Ambassador to Upper Snarkovia, or sumpin'.

[MNJohnnie]

I’m sorry but it is nonsense to insists on thread after thread you are “vetting” this candidate or that then turn around demand your candidate of choice be immune from the same attention.

[MiddleEarth]

I need a truly pro-life candidate this time around. I’m sick of the Pro-life in name only candidates....PLINOS :) How far have we really come by electing pro-life moderates in preventing the murder, or even drastically reducing the murder of a million plus babies EVERY year? It’s done nothing but we still hold up wobbly armed “pro-life” candidates because they are willing to push for less abortions than democrats. I am guilty of falling into that trap of the lesser of two evils voting myself. So, to all you RINO candidates out there...either stand up for our smallest members of society or go take a hike.

As for Gingrich, he did become a Catholic a couple of years ago so maybe he might be 100% pro-life now. I’m willing to give him the chance to make that statement and promise true defense of all in the womb.

[napscoordinator]

Newt spent a half billion of our dollars assisting in killing babies and we want this turd for President? Really? Some FREEPERS are really becoming liberal.

[mnehring]

and his Republican-dominated House never voted to bar taxpayer funding to this largest U.S. abortion provider.

You know, Bachmann is really starting to annoy me. First she jump on the bandwagon on the lies about Cain's abortion stance, then she throws this crap out there. During the years that she is claiming nothing was done, it was actually known as the most pro-life congress ever. It may be good to remind her that Congress voted on several major pro-life bills that Clinton vetoed. That Congress also voted several times to eliminate Title X- a major controversy at the time. Maybe being a tax lawyer at the time, she wasn't paying attention.
