Interview: Michele Bachmann on Faith, Family (Refuses to answer question about a Palin candidacy)
The Christian Post ^ | June 9, 2011 | Isabel Lyman

Posted on 06/09/2011 10:55:18 AM PDT by Virginia Ridgerunner

Considered a Tea Party favorite, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) continues to garner positive reactions from conservative voters as she touts her pro-life stance and vows to repeal Obamacare.

(snip)

In a brief interview with The Christian Post, Bachmann discussed two issues that are near and dear to her heart – faith and family.

(snip)

Bachmann declined to answer the last question: “If you choose to not pursue the presidency, what would you think about a Sarah Palin attempt?”

“She sincerely plans to use Rollins as her hit man. Do you doubt that”? No doubt that's true but to what effect ? Rollins is an old bum operating on last century election models. This flap over Palin will blow over but don't expect the Palin fans to vote for Sarah lite. When Rollins goes after someone who is actually running for office they will unload on the geezer and render him usless. If MB thinks Mittens will pick her for VP she is not well grounded.

I would be curious to know what Presidential contender Michelle Bachmann had to say about faith and family, but, alas, the article as posted was edited into to a few sound bytes related to a hypothetical “gotcha” question. Faith and family as serious issues? No! We need to bloviate over feelings and inferences regarding an individual who, to date, has not even declared. Now pardon me while I continue to seek information that matters.

I’m Tea Party, and I’ve learned to be disgusted by the user one-way traitor.

My red flags went up early on about her too. I don’t know what it is, but, something isn’t ringing true. Like you, my gut feelings are usually correct.

IF and I say IF you are all saying Bachmann stinks now. Big IF then not much is left but a civil war. I;m a bit lost on what Palin wants. So if, no help from Ed Rollings, you all are now against the best conservative in the house. God Save tthis nation. It’s either Herman Cain or bust until Palin gets in. Then Cain is toast right?

I am right there with you on this one. Something raised my hackles on her. Couldn’t put my finger on it then, just something isn’t right. Too cool. Too hardedged. I am usually right too. Ain’t no apologizing for women’s intuition. It works.

Wow. I was expecting a bunch of people to rag on me for “reading minds” or some such nonsense, but instead, folks have done nothing but agree with me.

Thank you so much!

2006 palin was head of alaska’s gas and exploration board, after encountering rampant corruption she resigned, ran for governor, and the result was the corrupt bastards ended up in jail. Much like many in the current administration deserve.

Vis a vis a palin remark against bachmann’s experience, please cite something on this.

Your anti palin proclivities are well known here. Your guy Mitch is out, so I suppose you are carrying someone elses water now. Fair enough, but bring facts please.

I see your point and we don’t know from the article what her exact reply to this question was.

I think we’re tending to jump to conclusions because of the Ed Rollins thing.

I wonder what Palin would have said if asked this question about Michele?

Let’s not fault our candidates for refusing to let the press bully them into making statements they aren’t ready to make.

I’m right there with ya, OldLady. I have always found something troubling about MB. Something about untrustworthiness. I do appreciate the fact that she trumpets some important issues, but that does not make her Presidential materl. IMHO

Palin did not make a snarky remark about Bachmann. She was asked how she differed from Bachmann as a candidate. She said that she had nearly 20 years of executive experience, but that Bachmann had a lot of strengths to bring to the table. Then she was interrupted with another question before she could say more.

I just did an IXQUICK [Google type] search on

She's running to be Mittens VP on the *Anybody but Obummer* ticket.
The ongoing establishment plan to herd conservatives, when the time comes, to Mittens.

I did vote for Mitch as Governor of Indiana. But...I have not on this site or anywhere else made him the candidate I would want for President. I have posted many negatives on Mitch on a national scale.

Actually, he shares much with Palin. Both had high approvals ratings that mean they were popular with both parties. Neither focused on social issues.

Mitch did sign a law to defund Planned Parenthood. Palin did not during her 30 month term.

You need to study up a little.

Plwease post a lonk that supports 20 years of Palin executive experience. That is a stretch.

I am no fool and I know you are biased. Thanks.
