“I was a supporter of Bachmann and even sent her money earlier. What gave me pause is the fact that she had 23 mentally troubled Foster kids in her house over the years. What are the odds that the media won’t bribe or otherwise influence one or more of them to tell false tales of who knows what. She could be innocent of child abuse, sexual misconduct etc and still be convicted in the media. Its too big a risk.”
Your comments were all a factor before this migraine business arose, yet you sent her money anyway. Frankly, you statement doesn’t make a lick of sense unless you got some sort of epiphany.
I think Bachmann would end up being a lightweight candidate for a variety of reasons, primarily her inability to deal with the flaming media, but the animus around here would be better directed toward the candidates that kowtow to the media and to the media itself or its extreme leftwing bias.
If Palin or Perry gets in, Bachmann is history irrespective of any other issues. Nevertheless, she has been a dedicated conservative on the issues AND if the aforementioned candidates don’t get in, she and Cain are all that’s left. Maybe those of us for other candidates need to cut her a little slack.
I agree and disagree. In the end Bachmann is a non contender.Perry has the independents and frankly the votes needed to win and take Obama.But I disagree that Palin beats Bachmann hands down. Perry/Christie/Rubio/West are who can beat Bachmann and Palin. Bachmann has a VP chance headaches or not-Palin does not. There was a short time Palin beat Bachmann in polls even as she sits on the sidelines.Not anymore. Palin needs to get her horse in the race her chances of being the quarterback or tailback in her not announcing worsen by the minute. IMO- She is very wise to this so this is why I think she is awaiting a VP or secofstate or senate bid.
First I was impressed with Bachmann.
Then I gave her money.
Then she hired Ed Rolins and he trashed Sarah Palin.
Then I sent her a critical letter about Ed Rolins.
Then I found out the details about her 23 mentally ill foster kids. I gave up on her at this point.
Then I found out about the incapacitating migraines.
She has no business running unless she is an intentional stalking horse for Sarah. I am hoping Sarah will be announcing next week.
