No matter what happens at the Iowa caucuses Tuesday, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said Monday she will not drop out of the race for president.
During an appearance on MNSBC’s Morning Joe, Bachmann said her campaign has “already bought our plane tickets. We’re headed to South Carolina as soon as we’re done on Wednesday morning. We’ll be there. We’re going the distance.”
Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll in August, but suffered a fall hard as the campaign season went on. The most recent Des Moines Register poll shows her in last place, with 7 percent.
“This isn’t over,” she said. “We’re not here for a post mortem. We’re here because I intend to continue to launch our campaign out of Iowa. I think we’re going to do very well.”
More “crazy conservative” talk...
Generating Jobs and Growth
The jobs picture two years into President Obama’s “recovery” is abysmal. The Administration projected that its trillion-dollar stimulus package would keep unemployment below 8 percent. But unemployment last month turned back upwards to 9.1 percent and has not dipped below 8.8 percent since April 2009.
What’s worse, the economy in May generated an anemic 54,000 jobs, and America still has 6.8 million fewer jobs than when the recession began. And official unemployment would be even higher if labor force participation weren’t the lowest in more than a generation – the result of discouraged workers simply giving up.
The President’s economic advisor calls this state of affairs a “bump in the road.” But it’s more like the Grand Canyon. President Obama’s economic policies have failed: employers are paralyzed by record spending and debt, a weakened dollar, exploding energy prices, the explicit threat of new tax increases on top of the highest corporate rates in the world, Obamacare with its burdens on businesses, and a flood of new rules such as carbon regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency – which should be renamed the Jobs Killing Agency.
As the co-owner with my husband of a small business, I understand what it takes to grow a company and meet a payroll. That’s why as President, I will work to reverse the current state of affairs by ensuring businesses the resources, freedom and flexibility to do what they do best: create jobs.
I will lead the way in cutting spending, reducing taxes and deep-sixing our 3.8 million-word Internal Revenue Code so companies can invest again. As a first order of business, I will direct the elimination of counterproductive regulations, repeal Obamacare and stop cap-and-trade in its tracks so companies can operate again. And a Bachmann Administration will create the climate of sound currency and certainty employers needed to start hiring again.
I thought you liked fighters, not cavers. Or do you like non fighters and cavers who talk tough and refuse to fight best?
Or are you just a bitter one one because you ain’t gettin’ what you wanted?
I doubt Michele will be in Congress much longer.
If that is the case, it would be a loss to America. Seriously she is a great Congressman. She should not lose her seat because she is running for President. She is the one person who is passionate about dumping Obamacare. We need her in Congress 100 percent if she does not become President.
Even more “crazy conservative talk”...
No Debt Ceiling Increase
The US government will spend a record $3.8 trillion this year, with a deficit of more than $1.6 trillion – meaning we will need to borrow an astounding 43 percent of our budget. The national debt this year is larger than America’s economic output for the first time since World War II, and every year we are accumulating more debt than in the first 200 years of our nation’s existence. And it only gets worse.
President Obama’s February budget proposal would add another $2.7 trillion to that debt over the next two years and $9 trillion over a decade. Over the long term, the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare alone – two programs which already consume 95 percent of federal revenues – have recently been estimated at more than $45 trillion. As never before, we are sentencing our children and grandchildren to a future of indentured servitude to foreign lenders.
But these frightening numbers are only a symptom of the real problem: Washington has lost touch with the constitutional vision of limited government and has far outgrown its bounds. It’s why the Democrats have dug in their heels and are demanding huge tax increases that would only heighten their unprecedented power grabs.
It’s time to draw a line in the sand, and put the federal government back in its place. Congress cannot and should not vote to increase the borrowing limit for the government unless serious steps are taken to reduce spending, and most important, unless the legislation to raise the debt ceiling includes the full repeal of Obamacare, which will add at least $1 trillion to the budget.
Then, as President, I will demand a return to our Founders’ vision of smaller, smarter government within the enumerated powers laid out in the Constitution. The resulting reforms will result in deep cuts in federal spending and ensure that we never face a debt crisis of this sort again.
This stuff is all on her website, but a lot of conservative posters on FR seem completely unaware of her positions on this uses, so I’m putting it right here so it’s unavoidable.
Without creating a negative headline for herself, not much. However, a poor showing in Iowa after 'winning' the straw poll there should dry up her fundraising ability going into New Hampshire. It will become increasingly hard for her to campaign effectively without money.
Let's all vote for progressives, and corrupt phonies instead of the ONLY legitimate conservative in the race.
She is not into K-Street crap like Boehner, Cantor, Newt Gingrich...and Rick Santorum. And she is no progressive like "Newt Romney", John Huntsman...or Santorum when he proves who he really is with his opposition to Pat Toomey and his support of numerous other liberal infiltrators into the GOP...and most tellingly of all to anyone paying attention:
HIS REFUSAL TO FIGHT AGAINST THE DEBT CEILING INCREASE, AND HIS ATTACKS ON THOSE WHO WERE FIGHTING IT, SUCH AS MICHELLE.
Wake up and smell the coffee. While you can.
And unlike the rest of the GOP...she has won.
She is going all the way. Better be ready to find as solidly anti-communist a replacement.
Agreed.
I love the smell of coffee in the morning. We don’t have anyone in the race that is worth a crap. And you really nail the others.
How can she be Romney’s running mate if he doesn’t win?
I don’t support her, but I’ve got to admit she’s not a quitter even when confronted with mountains of evidence she should cut her losses and go tend to her home district.

This is true. Bachmann is a good conservative fighter, but she may have fought too hard to no avail. But her money is drying up and Palin fans won’t forgive her for Rollins. Face it, people now prefer Mitt, Newt, and Perry. Well they now think Santorum too, but that is a face saving thing. He is also low on money.
They will get Romney or Paul. LOL ugh
BOGUS. All you can do is smear.
Guess you want liberals...and then its never about them...
How did she manage all this stuff being the 11th most absent Congresswomen out of 435?
The maliciousness has exceeded even that which Sarah Palin endured. And Bachmann has endured as well.
DES MOINES — If Mitt Romney wins the Iowa caucuses, the race for the Republican nomination is over.
If Mitt Romney comes in second in Iowa, the race for the Republican nomination is over.
And if Mitt Romney comes in third in Iowa, the race for the Republican nomination is over.
Why? Is his message of goodness and decency and American exceptionalism so overwhelmingly persuasive or are his personal attributes so awesomely compelling?
No. It’s because the Iowa caucuses do not pick winners as much as they eliminate losers. And the Iowa caucuses Tuesday are likely to eliminate from serious contention the only two men who might have blocked Romney’s path to victory: Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry.

Well, I can’t disagree with that except Perry isn’t leaving because he has bucks.
