No surprise there.
I was hoping she would, but last night she kept saying she would keep pushing on. I was beginning to worry she may indeed have a real diagnosable mental disorder.

Her husband was looking like he really had to concentrate to smile when she said she was going to continue last night.

:iagree: The talk seems to be to keep Bachman around as a running mate to attract the tea party crowd but I'm not so sure that's a great idea.

Cain, Perry, Bachmann all claimed God told them to run for President, and all are out of the race.
God is hilarious.

More so, they didn't do their homework and failed to realize making a statement / answering a question to that effect would not help their campaign.

Seriously, why do people say she's crazy, a nut, etc.?
That is bullshit. The media labeled her (like they labeled Palin as an idiot) because she is a conservative woman.
She's far more accomplished than anyone on this forum. (unless one of you is a senator or governor or astronaut or something).
Don't get caught up in this sort of idiocy. I'm not saying I would vote for her, but she's far from a nut.
I respect her. Ron Paul - he's a nut.

I'm not so sure. Think about this - a true conservative will have a hard time winning. So you have Mittens. He's the epitome of a RHINO. Pair him with a conservative woman and you might just win the independents AND the Tea Party types.
Not saying it's a good team for America - but politically it would work.
I'm starting to like Santorum more and more.

The alien that the Weekly World News keeps tabs on always seems to know who the next president will be. So far, he's not talking, but maybe Pat Robertson is in touch with him.

While I agree she wasn't going to win the nomination, why would anyone give a crap what Iowa or NH thinks?
IMHO, the REAL campaign begins in South Carolina. :yesnod:
Not trying to go all PR&C but I think the GOP will rig this crap no matter the level of difficulty to give Mitt Romney the nomination. Romney is more of the same ol crap, nothing less. I find myself leaning towards Ron Paul as I agree with more of his policy ideas, but even if Paul actually won every primary, I would bet money on Romney still getting the nomination by some "voting" miracle. I've lost faith in our system. The uber rich will continue to have us "elect" them to make laws to oppress/fleece us that they do not abide by. A government who governs least, governs best!

I really don't think he's a nut, but they've damn sure labled him that way. Hell, I don't agree with everything he says, but I would love to see us shed several layers of gov't, and let individual states handle their own programs. Yeah, and foreign aid, I'd cut it off too. I never gave them permission to send my money to anyone overseas while we borrow from the Chinese to pay our bills.

I find myself agreeing with most of that too. I think it's just that "Those Iranians just need a hug..." B.S. that seems a bit out of touch with reality.

"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
"I will tell you that I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter."
"Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands."
"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?"
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."
"If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."
"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country."
''(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.''
''Not all cultures are equal.''
''[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that 2,000 years ago.''
“Unelected bureaucracies will decide what we can and cant get in future health insurance policy. Thats why theyre called death panels."
''And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it.''
''It is horrific to know that in the African American community, 50 percent of all African American pregnancies in the United States end in abortion, 50 percent. That is a genocide of African Americans of the United States. It should not be. There are Americans all across this country who would love to adopt African American babies, but they can't because 50 percent of all African American pregnancies today are ending in abortion.''
''Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.''
''There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.''
“The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day.”
I am no Obama fan, but at this rate, Obama will get re-elected by sheer attrition and lunacy. I am very conservative, have my own views on the Democrats and Obama, but all this back-stabbing, smearing, and incompetence is going to get Obama another four years.

That's one thing I don't get, why brutally attack each other in the primary? :shrug: Just weakens the "winner" for the general election, IMHO. :yesnod:
I was thinking about that exact point yesterday while reading the paper. The incumbant must keep a bunch of people on staff whose sole job it is to take notes on all the intra-party vitriol so they can reuse it later against whomever gets the nomination.
They're doing all the mud-slinging homework for the opposition, it seems.
