I'm not preaching anything. Just calling it as I see it. A little off base? Understatement of the year. I thought God told her she was going to win.

She "suspends" her campaign. Just saw the news.

Would someone even want her endorsement? It might mean something in a GOP primary but would be electoral poison during the general election. The GOP nominee will have no choice but to moderate and move to the center to become president, getting the endorsement of a nutjob religious fanatic like Bachmann could be counter productive.

She is the leader of the Tea Party caucus in DC.

With Bush gone, Bachmann out, and Palin never having gotten in, there is now a decided lack of outlets for left-wing Derangement Syndromers. I think that during this critical time, President Obama should mobilize the national health service in order to deal with this danger.

I would also call on the national press to run some Palin stories so that there is a relatively harmless outlet for the vile and bilious cadre of lefty haters. What could happen if there is no outlet? I think we don't want to find out.

Well, that's just one less crazy in the line of idiots running for the GOP then. Hopefully Ron Paul can pull this out of his rear end, but I'm still rather skeptical of that happening.

you don't think saying someone is a bag of liquid crap isn't preaching hate? Well you and I have a different idea on what hate is all about. BTW, I don't remember her ever saying anything about God telling her she was going to win, I believe she told us God told her to run, but I don't pay much attention to stuff like that so I really don't know. Maybe you can tell us where you found the reference to God telling her she would win?

now that Bachmann is not tethered by the restrictiveness of the campaign sound bites, I for one will enjoy her unsuppressed views on a variety of subjects again. Fly Michele, fly!

It is a sad day, she was a huge asset to Obama and Dem Congressional Candidates.
