Bachmann hasn't done anything... It's the people behind the scenes controlling her words...

If the legacy of classical liberalism (or what we now call "conservatism") comes down to Palin or Bachmann, Bastiat and Voltaire must be rolling in their graves.

Just go on YouTube or wherever and listen to Bachmann speak... Someone else's words totally scripted and memorized...
Republicans won many seats , many that Palin campaigned for , how did it fail ?
I don't want to upset another "left wing pothead" but you have lost a grip on the facts.

Palin won't get many new supporters after the recent events... Just her base... Most real voters don't come out to vote during the mid-terms...
Pothead?... another right wing assumption?...

Do you think these fresh new attacks on Palin and Bachmann are to try and distract from the left wingnuts losing their #1 mouthpiece? Palin and Bachmann will be in the crosshairs as long as they act like women, dress like women and look like women.

Just as that shrill hag Ann Coulter has faded into the woodwork, Palin is about to follow her lead. Bachmann will take her place in the spotlight for a brief time. The problem is that the spotlight reveals these vapid demagogues for what they truly are and their shine quickly tarnishes. It kind of makes sense that the radical right erects women as their heros, though. Because none of their male figures have any military experience whatsover. O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Gingrich, Cheney, Boehner, McConnell, Limbaugh, Savage, Levin, Huckabee, Romney, Cantor; chickenhawks all.

Their women can't be faulted for avoiding the military. Their men are obvious hypocrites, eager to send other people's sons and daughters on military misadventures.

Maybe we're seeing the early stage of a return to rationality after all the idiotic activity of the past ten years, largely stirred up by Bin Laden's 9/11 attacks.

I do believe we are seeing the early stages of a return to rationality. The Tea Party, Dems getting smoked in the last elections and the #1 purveyor of hate speech Olbermann fired.


Not a bad run.

...Waiting for that Palin/Bachmann ticket.

Sadly, Bachmann puts my fair state in a really poor light. Then again, its fun (and sometimes scary) to listen to her talk, especially when I'm in the mood for a little comedy.
