Bachmann: "I haven't had a gaffe"

Michele Bachmann, making the case on Fox News that she's the safest candidate in a rather jaw-dropping statement.

BACHMANN: I haven't had a gaffe or something that I've done that has caused me to fall in the polls.

People see in me someone who's genuinely a social conservative, a fiscal conservative, a national security conservative and a Tea Partier. I'm the whole package.

And when it comes to the best Republican who take on Barack Obama and not have any clunker in my record to be able to take him on, it's me. And I've been involved as a private citizen for 50 years, and for the last five years, I've been in the lion's den in Washington, D.C. And so I have a record that I'm very proud of, and I'm happy to take him on in the debates to hold him accountable for what he's done to the economy and the country and our national security while he's been in office.

VAN SUSTEREN: So you're talking about clunker -- you mean the allegations -- underline allegations, no proof of Mr. Herman Cain that there were two women who said that they were sexually harassed, and you had the Governor Perry's unfortunate 53-second gaffe at the -- one of the debates -- is that the clunker that brings people down?

The problem is that she's as intense as Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Mucho scary.

So what you are saying is that if she is elected president, there would be a rabbit in every pot.

Anyone viewing the few minutes before the Cain supposed “gaffe” would know there was no gaffe and the msm was pulling another one of their low life scum stunts.

Ms. B. must think that a gaff is something you use to spear fish.

One of the big mistakes that Bush made was to not clear out as many Clinton people as possible. Bush was not a man of clear vision, Bachmann, on the other hand does have a strong clear vision and I don’t think that she would make the same mistake. Think of all the politically correct generals that Obama has put in place. Think about the Fort Hood massacre. I doubt that Romney or Gingrich would clear out those liberal generals, they are too go along to get along. Bachmann is very strong on defense and she would clear out the bats in the belfry.

Remember how Goldwater was portrayed by the Dems and media as a “nut”? Same old, same old.

After a handful of gaffes a couple months ago, since the IA Straw Poll, and after the gardasil debate, no one would know if she’s made any recently. She fell down and she can’t get up.

She’s raised 28 kids, five of her own and twenty three foster kids, she’s a former federal tax lawyer and she just LOVES her some Mitt Romney!
