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?

“I haven’t had a gaffe”.....but I have raised 23 foster kids!
Bachmann: “I yet to make a giraffe”
The problem is that she's as intense as Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Mucho scary.
Yes folks this is our cast of candidates!
Given how soundly Cain and Perry have been beating her in the polls, maybe she’d better start gaffing!
so vaccination really causes autism?
What about, "What happens when you turn 999 upside down?"
"giraffe?....????..oh gaffe, sheeesh"
I know it’s not nice to make fun of the dead... But better than picking at our live ones...
No? Nothing about mental retardation in children?
That was awful!
That was the night I met her and spoke with and got my picture taken with her, and some woman gave her a very sad story, but Michele Bachmann should have checked its reliability before running with it.
They’ve all made mistakes. They’re all human.
We don’t have a perfect candidate because “mine” isn’t running.
So there!
:)
She had a Rollins.
Same thing.
This lady should drop out. I guess it will take a drubbing in the Iowa caucus to get her out of the race. She is an embarrasing distraction. She is useful in Congress and I’m so afraid she has made such a fool of herself that she will lose her seat in Congress. The only thing she seems to have learned was to have gained control of her hysterical speaking mannerism. At least that is an improvement!
Sweetheart, ya can't drop if you are already on the bottom...
Not to mention, she NEVER criticizes Romney, only conservatives.
That’s a GAFFE AND A HALF!
Some will say the “6-6-6” was but it sure didn’t bother me. I thought it was funny.
Geez, Michele, I want to like you and then you say things like this. :eyeroll:
I haven’t watched one Republican debate. At first I was waiting for Palin to jump in. Now I know they’re going to favor Romney in all the debates, so I don’t watch them.
