Bachmann backers to Perry: She's the 'honest conservative' in the race

Ms Bachman and hubby have taken advantage of multiple federal handouts. She is in no way shape or form conservative, unless one equates religious fundamentalism with conservatism.

She may be the "honest conservative"......

What they mean by "honest" is that she does not pretend to be anything other than simple minded, as compared to the others.

Ms Bachman and hubby have taken advantage of multiple federal handouts.

and then claims that they did not benefit from them. they included them in their income statements yet claim they didn't benefit from them????????????? she claimed she hadn't seen a dime of federal moneys yet claimed them on their income statements????????????

how do you reconcile something like this? what did she think the money was, she was after all a tax attorney.

how do you reconcile something like this?

Easy, she is a moron.

By the time that they are done they will both be "Done" and not electable.

Your points are well noted, but do we need time to tell us that? I am of the opinion neither are electable now.

the Republicans do not want this yet. They will let Obama win and sit in the cheap seats still throwing grenades and not helping

Yup. Republican Moderates did not see the Theocratic Threat coming until it was too late, they were in disarray after the slaughter of 2008. However, they know now the only way they will eject the Tea Party and return the GOP to sanity and Democracy, is join with moderate Independents at the Polls, and help the Democrats crush the Tea Party 2012.

The Tea Party are too egotistical to understand that there is no way will an American Electorate ever vote a Theocrat into the White House - the American Voter does ........ and 2012 will hand back a Moderate Party to the Republicans, and 2014 will be the final desert special mopping up Tea Party diehards. Thats as certain as night follows day, never mind short term thinkers and Polls driven by ad revenue.

" Republican Moderates did not see the Theocratic Threat coming until it was too late, they were in disarray after the slaughter of 2008."

To some extent I agree, they didn't expect the rise of the Dominionists. But I think the plan all along is to skip two election cycles, better to stay relevent in the cheap seats than taking charge and responsibility for the economic debacle that happened. Let Obama and the Dems sit in those seats but don't let them succeed. Let the Tea Party expose their crazy people and they will self destruct. They shoved Palin in there to sabotage McCain's campaign and now are letting the Tea Party show themselves, and sabotage this election. The Tea Party thinks they have the Republicans by the balls. Nothing of the sort. The Republicans are going to dump them over the side in public after the next election.

Come 2016 election cycle they will start to preach to the young ones, those that were 8 years old during Bush's term and looking for jobs during Obama's term....ripe for picking.

Boehner and Gingrich will be gone and the young guns that survive today will be the statesmen tomorrow. The GOP has a plan, and it ain't gonna be pretty for us.

Republicans were planning shrub and cheny's reign since Tricky Dick. They have the wealth to have the staying power. If we do not wake up and install more financial regulations, recovery will stall more than now.

LMAO, I couldn't have said it better myself. I can't wait to see the teabaggers really turn on themselves and eat each other for dinner.

We need popcorn and beer and a ring side seat.

Wow, political Jeopardy, I'm in Alex.

Ron Paul believes it is he and not SCOTUS that determines what is constitutional or not. He worries about there really being gold in Ft. Knox when as a congressman he could arrange to inspect it with any experts he wants to bring any time he wants, but that would kill another non-issue of his. The man is full of hot air, but keeping the money flowing to the Republicans rather than the Libertarians.

Well, limey, you go ahead and vote for Ronnie. But remember when you do that you are also voting for someone who just said on the heels of Hurricane Irene that the government has no business protecting the people from natural disasters or rescuing and helping them afterwards. He said we should do disaster relief like we did back in 1900 with no government help and the local communities and the states did what they could. Only problem is that he forgets that there were no weather warnings back then from the national weather service, no advance preparations by a FEMA or any of the states, and no planned and pre-organized relief efforts, and literally tens of thousands of people died whenever there was a serious natural or man made disaster, including that one he talked about in the gulf in 1900 that killed 40 thousand long before he was a twinkle in his father's eye.

Yeah, limey, you vote for him, he's just as good as any of the other right wing government haters and know nothings. But if he wins you had better make sure you don't live along any coast, over any geological fault lines, anywhere near tornado alley, or near any chemical plants or refineries or liquid gas terminals, or anywhere that a terrorist might choose as a target, like say Oklahoma City or the gay pride parade route in Seattle.

Correct, Demo.

Texas is the home of Enron. They know how do do creative accounting.
