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.

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

Someone should just ask her,
“Why Rollins?”

That's pathetic. Palin has been a major player in Bachmann's rise. Yet under the bus she goes.
If Bachmann can do this to Palin, imagine what she could do the the grassroots if she decides we're in the way of her ambitions.

“Considered a Tea Party favorite....”
I am sick of reading that...
I’m Tea Party and she isn’t my favorite.

I am increasingly under the impression that Bachmann actually IS many of the things the MSM tries to claim Palin is.

She used to be a favorite. But I trust her as little as I trust Romney now.

What an evil vile women. How dare she not answer a moot question about a potential opponent who isn't even running. Shame. Shame.

This is the smartest thing I have seen Bachmann do. Why should she take the bait to bash another conservative, let alone answer a hypothetical within hypothetical?

Some of this rings a little hollow; until recently she was a member of conservative Lutheran denomination (WELS), but now she has joined the ELCA (larger, pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality).

Didn't expect you to get the context of the question or the response. You never do where Gov Palin is concerned.

Bachmann declined to answer the last question: If you choose to not pursue the presidency, what would you think about a Sarah Palin attempt? I don't know if that's a bad thing. She says something nasty about Palin, she loses votes. She says something nice about Palin, she loses votes (If Palin is that good, why should I vote for you?).
Best not go there until after Palin declares.
Think of McLame and "There is nothing to fear from an Obama presidency."

I have liked her very much, but she died after her brain dead decision to bring on Ed Rollins and then use him as a Palin attack dog.

Smart? You gotta be kidding me. She knows she has no shot and has exposed herself as someone else's water carrier.
Smart is Gov Palin, the more the better.

I still like Michele Bachmann even though I think Ed Rollins is an ass and she should dump him. Michele is the one who found $105
billion hidden in the ObamaCare bill for implementation. Nobody else has shown the guts to call for defunding it. $105
billion is far more savings than defunding Planned Parenthood, NPR and the other symbolic stuff.
That being said, if my choices come down between Bachmann and Palin, I'm going to give the nod to Sarah for two reasons:
- Executive experience.
- She makes the enemedia scream more.

Would you have a link that verifies that?(Not that I don't trust your word, but that is significant, and not in a good way, IMHO)

I hate to be such a girl about this, but I don’t really like Michele Bachmann. My “something’s wrong” alarm went off before the 2010 elections, just intuition, no facts, nothing specific. [blush] I only mention it because it’s usually right, but not always.

Smart? You gotta be kidding me. Sorta. I should have said the closest thing to a smart thing. The closest Palin has ever been to smart was when she was standing next to Greta's husband John Coale.

I really like her, but now, I think your intuition is dead on, at this point, even if she dumped Rollin’s she’ll never get my vote.
