As the next non-cream rises toward the top of the GOP Presidential pile, might as well collect the stories in one place.
A number of Andrew Sullivan readers taking Bachmann down on her clinging to the religion of Originalism. Some good stuff here.
Factchecking her announcement speech and Sunday talk show followups.
Jeffrey Lord, in trying to defend her, starts with a sigh and doesn't get any better after that. He seems to be seeking a fight in which the GOP entry wins big. Keep looking, Jeffrey.
FactCheck.org weighs in with their own analysis of Bachmann's fictions. |

Bacchman gets 5% of the vote in Iowa. See post 31 in response to the graph in post 21.

She's got a presser scheduled for 11am and cancelled her SC trip. Sounds like she might be packing it in. Too bad--I was hoping all the wackos would stay in until SC.

FNC just reported that Bachmann has cancelled her SC tour and scheduled an 11amET press conference. So much for nominating a candidate with TP bona-fides.

She did her job--she got T-Paw out of the race.
Romney is doing just enough to win--first the establishment GOP will rally around him this week, and then (reluctantly) the base.
He won't have any coattails for the down ballot candidates, and that hurts the GOP overall. While the Dems are defending more Senate seats this year, the Romney Effect might just even that all out.
What this means for Obama remains the same for the election, but the GOP, knowing that they are putting up a candidate even they themselves aren't altogether happy with, will dig in even more on the legislative front. I think this is why Obama went ahead decided to do a recess appointment of Richard Cordray for the CFPB, despite the Senate technically being "in session" in order to prevent such appointments.

......Bachmann’s Fundraising Whopper
In several urgent fundraising appeals, Rep. Michele Bachmann falsely claims that biased “liberal judges” redrew her congressional district “in retaliation for repeatedly standing up to President Obama.”
The truth is that only two of the five judges were Democratic appointees, and Bachmann’s Minnesota district has become even more Republican than it was before...
yep. same ol' same ol'.

In a fair world you guys would eat crow when the war against the jihadis gets serious, however in reality you guys will go *innocently* whistling past the graves you created in your willful ignorance.
Just as Barney Frank whistled innocently past the debacle he and his Fanny caused.
Just as liberals whistle past the debacle that is Iran which they are completely guilty of facilitating.
You guys will be kissing up to and enabling jihadis when you aren't ignoring what they actually say to each other, until the day 'you never had anything to do with it'.

These ties are anything but trivial.“You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers... until the conditions are ripe... Until that time, any step taken would be too early – like breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside.” - radical islamist Jihadi Fethullah Gülen who tried to overthrow the secular government of Turkey and who the Clintons managed to find sanctuary here in the USA.
Hillary and Huma also managed to overturn the ban on the grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood here in the USA.

Bachmans lead down to 2% points, which is within the margin of error
Less than a year ago, Rep. Michele Bachmann was traveling the country, making her case to be the Republican Party's presidential nominee. Today, six weeks out from that long-awaited election, she's caught in an unexpectedly tight race to keep her seat in Congress.

Considering the success George Soros has had perverting the Secretary of State office in Minnesota a 2% republican lead is effectively even.

Michele Bachmann Still Hasn’t Paid Campaign Staff
Bachmann has over $2 million left in her campaign account, reports Waldron, but still refused to fork over the paltry $5,000 owed to the staffers. Furthermore, as per her own Personal Financial Disclosure, Bachmann has a net worth between $1,300,000 and $2,800,000.
The GOP, ethics in action.

She can't pay campaign staff out of her personal money. But if she's got campaign money left there is no reason not to pay.

She can donate the 5k to the campaign funds (if it were short) and then the staff could be paid.

She's already done that, I believe. But the problem isn't that the campaign funds are short, so donating more isn't solving the problem. They don't need her $5000 to pay the staff.

Apparently accepting the fact that they've been stiffed, Bachmann's staff disses their NDA and goes public. [Peter Waldron, a widely known evangelist enlisted by the Bachmann campaign for outreach to Christian conservatives], formerly Bachmann's national field coordinator, is accusing the campaign of improperly dipping into money from MichelePAC to pay longtime fundraising consultant Guy Short for presidential campaign work he performed in the critical final weeks ahead of Iowa's caucuses last year.
Waldron also alleges that the campaign concealed payments to Iowa state campaign chairman Kent Sorenson, a state senator who abruptly left the Bachmann camp to join then-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul's insurgent campaign. Under Iowa Senate rules, Waldron maintains, Sorenson could not perform paid work for a presidential campaign.
...One of those involved in the payment dispute is Barbara Heki, who sued the campaign last year over the use of a database listing the names and e-mail addresses of thousands of Christian home-school families. Although the campaign eventually agreed to pay $2,000 for the list, the lawsuit continues, as does a separate criminal investigation.

The left has been 'putting down' education ever since I was in college. If by putting down you mean euthanizing. It's been Bill Ayers' career ever since he gave up explosives as his favorite tool to bring in marxism, and chose degrading the education system instead.
