She makes me think of every mans ex-wife.
Hey now. You are speaking about President Santorum’s Vice President.
Your response is irrelevant to what I posted.
Bachmann is showing the world that she knows how to run a masterful campaign by targeting the most vital voting group in America, high school students.
At least she knows that they are going to vote soon. Unlike Perry who had no idea that the voting age was 18. He thought it was 21.
“I head on Fox News them say only Bachmann hit every county.”
Per Fox News, both Bachmann and Santorum have visited all 99 counties. (Or 106-107 counties if using Obama’s knowledge of America’s geography.)
” I like Michele, but she’s done, at least with this election.” <<<
What am I suppose to think about the candidate who does conservative speak to perfection on so many of the issues, but when the bell rings and the contest engages at last, they advantage the Establishment?
It is mind bending, for me anyway, to appreciate Bachmann sniping when she is intellegent enough to know who it advantages. She never talks about her targets being far more conservative than Romney, or comes clean about the results of sniping benefiting him, but just shows up and snipes at each of his nearest threats, one after another, just as the Establishment and Romney Super PAC would hope for, and she does it for free. (Unless he actually does pay off her campaign debt eventually.)
Same with Santorum. He is as pure on conservative speak as the wind driven snow, but in the contest there he goes, he endorses Snarlin’ Arlen and turns his back on the conservative Pat Toomey. His conservative fiscal positions led him eight times (according to Perry) to spend out the budget, and help create the red line of debt as far as the eye can see.
These candidates have records of irritating all of us at one time or another, but who among them, while on the job, has consistently done the most, *consistently*, for conservatism and for conservatives? I think I know. They are both HELL on wheels when it comes to actual results.
I would like for the contest to get down to them, and SOON.
I admire your ability to tune out reality.
There are NO perfect candidates, but I would love to see her take out Franken.
She should have made that step before considering a nationwide run. A POTUS candidate should at least be able to win a statewide election before moving up to the big leagues.
LOL. That sentence would make a beautiful tag line.
More accurately, the MSM wants a RINO, not a conservative. If they can't keep Obama, that is. For a case in point, just check out today's LA Slimes web site and notice the hero treatment they're giving Romney as an alleged shoo-in in Iowa.
And the posted story, written by Associate Press, is as MSM as it gets.
the surprise will come when her checks start bouncing
I’ve held firm with Bachmann, Santorum and Cain (Till Cain dropped out) and she’s the most rock solid of the 3.
I’m not claiming that the media isn’t manipulating me while running from candidate to candidate like so many others.
Not only that, but she and Rollins sandbagged Palin and everyone else down the line except Romney.
I was a strong Bachmann supporter until she started her taking shots at the other candidates and her final snit at Gingrich in the last debate.
It's sad since I like her Conservative positions on the issues.

What kills me is how the republican candidates will attack each other using LIBERAL TALKING POINTS/demagoguery!!!
It really turned me off toward all of them. The entire field is a dog show, IMO. How in the hell did we get here?!?! ......
I’m beginning to become very annoyed at her shrill voice. Sounds too much like scolding... I just want her to shut up.
Her attack on Perry regarding his Texas Guardasil vaccine executive order was based on three fundamental limited government principles: (1) Parents, not the state, should retain control over medical decisions regarding their public school children, unless the state is acting to prevent an immanent outbreak of a serious contagious disease (e.g., mandating polio vaccine for young children) which cannot be practically done without a state mandate. (2) Government officials, before mandating a health care measure for the children, should advise parents on the possible side-effects of that measure. (3) Ethical standards must be observed by public officials, including state governors, when making a decision on a health care intervention regarding public school children. (In the case of Perry, there was an ethical question as to whether their was a conflict of interest that played into his decision to issue the Guardasil order.)
Bachmann was perfectly within the bounds of good taste to distinguish herself from Perry on limited government, parental rights, and government official ethics - which apply at any level: federal, state, county, or local.
As for Romney, there was no sinister reason for Bachmann to lay off him. It was obvious that Romney by himself draws a clear distinction from Bachmann by his RINO history - especially on socialized medicine - so Bachmann strategized that distinguishing herself from Romney would be a poor use of very limited debate time.
