“Why is this Woman STILL Running?”
Michele Bachmann’s numbers keep dropping at a rate that soon may very well cross into the negative column. She is virtually invisible in the debates now and has very little to say to her followers. It has gotten so bad that even “American Majority” a Tea Party Group has begin to criticize her.
According to “The Christian Science Monitor” Ned Ryan, head of the “American Majority” said recently in a blog titled “Bachmann’s Floundering Can Damage Tea Party” “that since Rep. Bachmann won the Ames, Iowa straw poll her campaign has been hampered by a loss of staff, poor fundraising, and an apparent lack of direction. He anticipates that she will shift even further right in coming weeks as she competes for votes in conservative Iowa, straying from the core tea party message of fiscal responsibility.”
Finally he says, “It’s time for Michele Bachmann to go.”
Those of you who have frequented our website know I am no fan of Michele Bachmann. I have noted several times her lack luster record; I have pointed out the plethora of ignorant remarks she has made over the last few years and how she could never be taken seriously as a viable presidential candidate. Despite this and numerous other articles from noted writers showcasing her glaring shortcomings her name is still spoken on the lips of certain GOP leaders.
I have felt that this is due to her support by the Tea Party and the leaders of the GOP’s fear of crossing them at this time. Well that time might be coming to an end. According to “The Real Clear Politics” polling average Ms. Bachmann has dropped to 3.8 percent in national polls of prospective GOP voters. That puts her dangerously close to that 2% number where a campaign virtually disappears from view.
Bachmann herself thinks the American Majority criticism was a Rick Perry plot.
She told CNN’s “Situation Room’” “People have told us that these are Perry supporters and they went out with this and this was meant to be a stealth move and it was clumsy.”
Even Bachmann’s campaign people have begun to bite the hand that feeds them calling the Tea Party decentralized and how no one organization or one person can speak for it. It should be more than evident to everyone now Michele Bachmann will not make it past the Iowa Caucuses in January. She is not expected to get more than 7% of the votes and that should FINALLY put an end of her presidential run for 2012. I say simply “good riddance.”

You are indeed a Hollyweird Republican because Mrs, Bachmann’s “ignorant” remarks as you call them are a threat to your liberal social agenda. You Hollyweirdo’s want to be conservative without conservative values. You make me ill.
Thanks Rob for the comment. You must be Bachmann supporter by your tone and the intelligent level of your remark. Hey but don’t let that stop you and thanks for the comment. Ira
Youn are welcome. By your thin-skinned response I must have hit the mark.
I am a supporter of true conservatives. Unlike you I work in the real world and have three college degrees: Political Science. I am tired of Hollywood values being shoved down our throats. You sir may indeed be a registered Republican but in my opinion you are no conservative.
Rob: If you read some of my articles, you will indeed find out how much of a conservative I am. By the way, I have two degrees, but I also work in the real world. I do not agree with any of the Hollywood values as I abhor them as much as you do, But, Ms. Bachmann cannot win and has indeed put her foot in her mouth on many occasions.
Frank. Fair enough. Name me one candidate on either side though that hasn’t done the same thing on occasion and you win this round.
Rob: I’ve got news for you. I’m about as right as you can get. In fact, I don’t even think Newt or Ron Paul are Conservative enough and I can tell you that I am longing for the day that Ms. Bachmann hangs up her shield. She has not done anything since her initial surge and is even lagging in her home state of Iowa. Must tell you something?
Frank,
Yes it does tell me something. It tells me that we Americans are easily swayed by the media who continually (and successfully I might add)marginalize conservatives with values they abhore.
