Well, from the cheap seats...

- as a migraine sufferer, I wouldn't vote for someone who suffers from them for a position that is constantly under as much stress as the President of the United States is under. As others have mentioned, stress is one of the most common triggers and the position is far too important to allow that much down time.

- Michele Bachmann is scary. Period. She's almost a Christian equivalent of the Ayatollah's in Iran, or wants to be. That is not something we want in the de facto leader of free world. Anyone claiming they talk to God and God literally talks back on their most important decisions/turning points is frightening to me. I don't really care what most people believe in, as a general philosophy, but when what they believe has the ability to significantly impact my life, I start examining those beliefs very carefully... and fundamentalists of any stripe, with the apocalyptic fascinations they all seem to share, do scare the crap out of me.

- I don't see her as a credible candidate for the GOP, any more than Sarah Palin: they both have a certain amount of sex appeal, they both have influence among the Tea Party adherents, but when you look at policy and outlook, there is nothing there. Obama may not be the great Bringer of Change that he was advertised as, but he has a lot more on the ball than those two, which is a shame IMO, because I think the US needs more dynamic women in leadership roles... but they need intelligence, something these two lack. Bachmann will probably garner more support than Ron Paul (who's basic approach I can respect except it is too inflexible in too many ways to ever be practical) and a couple others, but thats really not saying that much.

you're an anti republican fanatic...

Of course! Every real patriot hates right wing treason. Each of those traitors should be exiled to Devil's Island.

Isn't Minnesota where the gov't shut down and there is the highest benefit, and most highly abused, programs in the country?

Government shut down but only because Republicans want to stifle governor Dayton's (Democrat) administration. The pukes had no trouble increasing the spending under Pawlenty and even increased taxes to finance the Twins baseball stadium (a team owned by billionaires).

As for which states have more welfare, Alaska, Mississippi, and other Republican states have more.

Today there was a TV news report of a large gay group picketing her husband's office and shouting to him to come out of the closet. She has no credibility at all and is too neurotic for the job.

I think that Bachmann is fooling herself and everyone around her if she's pretending that migraine will not frequently impair her ability to be sharp and clear thinking.

Republicans are always inflicted with limited reasoning and this will only make things worse for her. One thing's for sure - had it been a male candidate with this problem, there would be considerably more criticism than what we are seeing today.

... especially if he was a Dem. The right wingers would be having a field day.

The problem is these butterflies like her and Palin and the teabaggers are detracting
from the Republican message. That means no matter how popular they become in
the Republican Party, they do not capture the attention of the mainstream of the
American Public except in a negative way.
you can have 50% of the Republican vote and still have only 35% of the American vote
and that will gain you nothing. People have to understand there are some serious and
I mean serious problems to be solved. Instead the political right is tolerating entertainment
instead of serious discussion. The woman is a social conservative air head and she will
cost her party everything before its over. I never thought someone could make Palin look
mainstream. She apparently went so far as to say something like the Blacks were better
off as slave, than living the way they are living now. I heart that on Reliable Sources last
Sunday and I thought Yup that will make her popular for sure.
Gays can be changed to straight people who love Jesus is another great venture for this
woman. She has more lines that a class A comedian and still people flock to her
shows, (appearances) the whole thing is a cruel joke. God help us if she fluked and
got elected.

The main stream media hide the gaffes of the Democrats pure nonsense. The main stream
media will expose everyone's gaffes because that is the way the media works. Those who
make such claims are making excuses for those who make them. Biden is a prime example.
The only difference between Biden and Bachman is that Biden is charming and Michele is
a nincompoop who, believe in all number of silly things, like changing gays back to straight
people somehow using the Lord. She is a Social Conservative and she is not going to win
the election, she won't even win the nomination and if she did God help us.

If she is such a nicompoop why would you worry or even waste time thinking about her?

The media's overkill in its reports on Clinton's personal flaws more than proves this particular point. If any news commentator discusses him, more likely you will hear of those errors rather than his accomplishments in creating 24 million jobs, a massive surplus, and vast expansion of the middle class. Somehow, all of his successes remain overlooked. Yet, no one criticizes the main stream media for this.

Bachmann loses her campaign manager as she is now ranked third among GOP candidates for 2012:

Michele Bachmann loses campaign manager Ed Rollins and top staffer | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

Talk here in the Gopher state is that her campaign is falling apart due to all of these defections. This is amazing when you consider how she came in first in Iowa just a short while ago.

I sure hope that this is true, Gopher. I was reading an article in the NY Times awhile ago that mentioned how many times she had to leave the stage during a debate in order to touch up her hair and make-up. I could understand the need had the debate been held outside under the beating sun and with heavy winds, the fact was it was inside. Airhead is a very soft term for this poor woman.

Couldn't agree with you more.

But what you don't see in the media reports is how much internal animosity there is in her campaign group (these are the kinds of things discussed locally on news radio or call in stations). This is why so many defected from her camp and joined with Pawlenty and they are the source for much of the negative news about her personality and many vanities.

BLAME CLINTON!

Bachmann warns:

Hezbollah to launch attacks on USA from fortifications in Cuba!

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/09/27/2011-09-27_michele_bachmann_warns_that_hezbollah_could_be_planning_missile_site_in_cuba.html

The second round of the Cuban Missile Crisis could be coming - at least in Michele Bachmann's world.
The Tea Party darling told an audience in Iowa on Monday that the Middle Eastern terror group Hezbollah was planning to build missile sites in Cuba.
"There's reports that have come out that Cuba has been working with another terrorist organization called Hezbollah," she said, beginning to ramble ... Bachmann was apparently referring to a report in a conservative Italian newspaper that has not been found to have any merit


:lol:

Bachmann is an example of an aspiring candidate who will do anything to attract attention. She has the politico's "Hoof in Mouth" syndrome. Her most recent claim about a child becoming instantly affected by a Cancer preventative drug was a great example of her imagination in over drive.
