Fat Head Ed is such a “looser!”

He’s mute and irrevalunt!

Ms. Bachmann COULD have corrected this last
night. She screwed up her first 3 AM call.

She is not ready.

I don’t think I have ever seen so many failures to launch in a GOP cycle ever. Rollins remarks I think might have fatally killed bachmann’s campaign. It was a stupid, unneeded comment. unforced error.

-"...fueling a contrived narrative"

That, my friends, will be that standard low level playbook that will be used the RINOs, establishment elites, who will scared sh-tless by a Palin candidacy.

Therein lies the rub.

Bachmann’s appointment of Ed Rollins reveals her lack of judgement. The appointment of team members is the first test of the good judgement of any leader. BM has flunked her first test.

We’ve seen and heard thousands of observations and analysis from Palin. I’ve seen/heard basically nothing from Bachmann. What is it about her that gets her up in the Presidental Contender ranks? I just don’t know.

[Jim Scott]

I agree with those Freepers who contend that the Bachmann candidacy is an attempt by the Republican party hierarchy to use the ambitious congresswoman as a way to derail a possible run for the GOP presidential nomination by Sarah Palin. For all the giddy 'Palin/Bachmann' talk, two females are not going to be at the top of the 2012 Republican presidential ticket. It would be hard enough to get one female elected president (preferably Palin) but two is simply not realistic. That Bachmann hired Ed Rollins, a longtime GOP insider, is telling. Rollins immediate bashing of Sarah Palin pretty much exposes the plan to use a Bachmann candidacy to block Palin. I liked Michelle Bachmann. Now, she is relegated to the 'scratched' column. Too bad.

Lets knock this off right now. No Republican candidate should attack any other, not this election. It must not happen. And whoever wins the primary we must all get behind and push through, regardless. Obama must go. No more game playing.

Like Momma used to say, if you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything.

We must win this one.
