She didn’t shy away from outlining clear differences between herself and Mitt Romney, who is statistically tied with her for the lead among Iowa voters according to a Des Moines Register poll released yesterday.

Michele Bachmann on Friday landed direct hits against Republican front-runners Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney over their previous support for health care individual mandates.

Bachmann also set her sights on Romney, hitting the former Massachusetts governor for the universal health care plan he initiated in the state.

“We’ve seen it play out in Massachusetts where Mitt Romney was the governor,” Bachmann said. “The system in Massachusetts meant that health insurance policies went up dramatically.”

Without calling GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney or any of her other rivals by name, Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann on Monday described others in the GOP field as "frugal socialists," adding that some are "confused" about their core beliefs on abortion, same sex marriage, and the "urgency" of repealing the Obama-passed health care law.

She took aim at former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for supporting the “individual mandate” that requires people to purchase health insurance and threatens punishment for those who don't.

Just some examples of how she has passed up the opportunity to criticize Romney, I guess.

June
September
November

These are the few peep squeeks she offered? Except for the Romney smooch, she offered nothing substantial against Romney in any of the debates, and the weak “frugal socialsist” smear, she generously applied that one liberally to all of the top tier, but never exclusively to Romney, who IS the socialist.

Good for you! Excellent work bump!

(Unfortunately, even here at FR, it’s the headline people will remember.)

Two links are speaking about the same minor event and another link she was Pressed by a reporter to identify exactly at whom she was leveling her charge....(so subtle they had to ask!)

You are trying too hard to cover her lack of going after mitt. She went after Perry like a bull dog - we know what she is capable of - even downright lying! Santorum kept going after Mitt and so did Perry. They are more conservative and more trustworthy than she will ever hope to be. She can be bought - face it.
