Michele Bachmann Drops Out of Presidential Race

Amen!

She showed grit and was a credit to Congress. She took as well as gave during the debates. Her personal life is an inspiration.

I liked Michele Bachmann, truly did… but it seemed the powers at be in the Media marginalized her. Very sad.

uhhhhhhh………and the current guy wasting space in the White House WAS qualified???

Sanatarium is only slightly better than she is.

According to the US Constitution, she is perfectly qualified to run this country. Why the lie?

Are you people serious? Watch any of the debates? She’s an idiot.

Gawwd… if you’re going to report something, get it right– Michele stated that she will broaden the tax base by creating MORE taxpayers– in other words, by creating an economy that will be friendly to business expansion, thus creating sustainable jobs and allowing people to move away from government dependence to independence-

I guess she threw in the towel on her new years resolution after only 4 days. Wow, that shows real conviction.

Well, I guess the God she was hoping would help her finds that his followers are not enthusiastic about women candidates. hmmmm. Should have listened a bit more I guess. Maybe she’s “king” in her house, but apparently the voters don’t want her as their king. bye, bye.

“Good riddance! She was and is not qualified to run this country.”

That comment from an Obama supporter? The man “occupying” the office is the LEAST qualified man ever to have been elected to the job. That’s based on his disastrous three years duing which time he has done more damage to our country that i ever thought was possible.

For an Obama supporter to say ANYONE else is unqualified is a sign of a severe mental disorder! This country cannot survive another four years of this inept, economically illiterate, radical, community organizer. We may not survive his first 3 years! Our debt is now 100% of GDP!!!
How do you possibly pay that off without HYPER-inflating our dollar!!!

Hopefully someone will put a internet site together with the three front runners voting history for their entire political careers. I guarantee you that very soon after that there would only be one front runner. The only reason there is even a contest for the nomination is because the media is covering up the positions of two of the candidates because the truth would eliminate two of the three candidates in short order. Up until now, the Zionist controlled political process has owned every horse in the race so no matter who wins they have their man in the Oval office. Excerpts from Rep. Louis T. McFadden’s speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, June 10, 1932:
Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. …
Some people think the Federal reserve banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers, foreign and domestic speculator sand swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. …
Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this country to finance Japan in a war against Russia.They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia and thus drove a wedge between the Allies in the World War. …
Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States. …
Mr. Chairman, when the Federal reserve act was passed the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here which would make the savings of an American school-teacher available to a narcotic-drug vendor in Macao. They did not perceive that the United States was to be lowered to the position of a coolie country which has nothing but raw materials and heavy goods for export. That Russia was destined to supply man power and that this country was to supply financial power to an international superstate–a superstate controlled by International bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure.
Congressional Record, 72nd Congress, 1st session, June 10, 1932; Vol. 72, pp. 12595-12603. McFadden served as Chairman of the United States House Committee on Banking and Currency 1920 to 1931.

Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Stop going through life with blinders on. Your ignorance is sewing the seeds of your own destruction.

To those that think Rep. Bachman was not qualified to be president. You are fools, President Obama had zero experience or qualifications to be president and three years later, still lacks the skills or judgement required to run this country. In other words a failure in every since. As a matter of fact, someone like him would never get elected if it were not for Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” purchasing a voting block for the Democrat party. If it were not for this redistribution to those that contribute nothing to the well-being of this country, the Demcratic Party would be a perenial minority party.

Well fought, Congresswoman Bachmann.

Time to make it official and endorse the not-Obamney candidate: Senator Rick Santorum.

Damn, that means she’ll be running again for Congress. And the people of her district have already shown that they are willing to re-elect her even after she showed herself to be a complete nutbag.

I am a conservative who does not support your irresponsible deficit spending. You might be old and will be dead in 30 years, but people of my generation will continue to suffer from your deficit spending and unconstitutional imperalist/globalist wars which are not even self defense. I support the troops and our military personnel are the biggest contributors to Ron Paul’s campaign. Paul himself is a veteran, unlike Romney, who dodged the draft. Romney supporters are pseudo-conservative hypocrite liberals.

Put it this way, Who would you want for your boss? A man that has a net worth of 100s of millions, wants to send our children into endless wars, supports big banks and corporations, and believes that we should give up all our freedoms for safety. Or a man that gives back part of his pay check, does not use his medical benefits because he believes he can afford to pay out of his own pocket, wants to stop killing our children in endless wars that only benefit the rich, wants to put the hard earned money you make back in your pocket instead of giving it to the corrupt banks and corporations and restore your freedoms given to you by our for fathers along with the men and women that lost there lives fighting for those freedoms. This is a no brainer question. Ron Paul 2012

Rep. Bachmann iwas and is more qualitfied to be President than Obama. Because she loves this country, she wanted to try to get it back on the right path. Unfortunately, she was unable to convince the voters that she was the most qualified this time but don’t count her out for good.

““Though I’m a congresswoman by title, a politician I’ve never been… I’m not motivated by vanity, glory or the quest for power.””

You are also unmotivated by intelligence, or the ability to think critically. A congresswoman is, by definition, a politician. Ergo, you are a politician. Have been for years. To try and deny this is to deny reality. Which apparently is something you are very good at.

“Last night the people of Iowa spoke with very clear voice…” Since Bachmann said God would decide the voting, shouldn’t she say: “God clearly showed he doesn’t believe I’m qualified to be President.”

I give her credit for perseverance, but how could she have not known that she was too far off center to actually make it all the way to the White House? She did open up a lot of dialogue, and create interest but she is not electable now or in the future with her current train of beliefs. She had a staff bolstering her along, and wasting her money – too bad she didn’t realize she would never make it. Now to the GOP please find someone worthy and strong enough to carry this country out of this current mess.

Very poorly written and clearly biased article. ABC news is pathetic.

Yeah if anyone watched her debate performances – she gets this glazed look in her eyes and she’s clearly reading off of a paper in her mind. that’s likely how she passed the bar to become a lawyer — and then she used those skills…..

To PROSECUTE for the IRS!

See – people have principles and if you just look through their life – you can see them.

Another Bachmann example: You can look at youtube clips of her introducing Ron Paul as GOD, but then of course when she runs against him, suddenly he’s dangerous. Yeah uh huh. Princple.

Good moment during one of her debates was when she was asked a question and tried to immediately go into that glazed over mode — but then she realized she didn’t understand teh question and for a split second she was a normal human being and she said: “wait, what was the quesitons?” It was such a sincere question.

She heard it again and you could see her eyes click into place – and the glaze followed immediately and she began “reading from her memory” – but the moderator wanted to add a quick follow up and tried to interrupt – but like Obama and his telepromters – you can’t interrupt someone who NEEDS A SCRIPT –

It takes a lot of EFFORT to be deceitful. Like Judge Judy always says: When you’re telling the truth you don’t have to have a good memory – because you’re just regurgitating what happened. When you tell a lie, you have to remember all the tiny little details – much harder.

Notice Ron Paul is ALWAYS conversational, ALWAYS off the cuff, and according to FOX’S own body language expert: Full of Personal Integrity. Gotta Love it.

Goodbye Michelle – save an ounce of character by recommitting yourself to your former inspiration: RON PAUL!

Let’s go New Hampshire!!

It was an excellent statement, showing what an excellent person she is. She said that it was on March 21, 2010, the day of the passage of Obamacare, that she first thought of running for president, in order to stop it. From the start she has understood the transcendent issue of this election year: that either a Republican president and a Republican Congress are elected to repeal Obamacare and tear it up by the roots, or America becomes irreversibly an unfree statist country like the countries of Europe.

That was the great and central message of her campaign, but also its limitation. Running to appeal Obamacare and turn the economy around and constantly repeating that she was the most consistent conservative in the race were not enough as the basis for a winning presidential campaign. She needed a larger message about the direction in which she would lead the country as president, how she would “win back America,” how she would turn back the prevailing left, and this she never developed.

Let’s face it, all politicians whether they are a Democrat or Republican will do and say anything to get the vote. Once in office, the tune changes and the political infighting among the parties begins and nothing gets accomplished.

POSTED BY: T | JANUARY 4, 2012, 11:22 AM 11:22 AM____________Shh, don’t say that, T; otherwise, they will hear it. American voters have a short memory. They swing like a pendulum to a politician who lies to them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Michelle was never in the race to begin with. Like that lady from Alaska, Michelle was in it because she thought she was smart and capable enough to serve in the role. She was sadly mistaken.

MOM29JS: Yes there were 7 and Bachmann came in sixth BUT Jon Huntsman NEVER bothered to campaign in Iowa so in reality, Michelle came in LAST place. Very POOR showing considering she WON the straw poll a few months ago. As for worst President to OTHERS here: that IS GW Bush. The mess we are trying to dig out of NOW came about because of that REALLY incompetent man and his lying war. As for President Obama, he’s going to win again and despite all of you HATERS (what ever happened to ONE NATION UNDER GOD?) he will bring our Nation back from the depths that GW and his evil little helpers threw us into for 8 years. Now, you ALL SHOULD go for the most electable man in this horrid “FIELD” you call Presidential “Hopefuls” IF you truly want to beat the President.

That is just so sad hear (sarcasim). Can’t wait for more of them to drop out.

Neither can I

The more of them that drop out early, the more united the Republican party will be and that will make it all that much easier for the frontrunner to kick Obama’s a___ this November.

The republican candidates (including Bachman and Perry) would have done much better if they used the tactics that the DNC is going to use against Romney. Don’t react to his meaningless 30 second sound bites and swipes at the President. Pin him down, make him defend his record and the idiotic 59 point plan he has introduced but never mentions.

Mitt is going to get outed as the corporate minion he is. He has no ideas except the same trickledown theory that has never worked and just helps to shrink the middle class. He will let the corporations run our country.

He hides what the American people already know, his exorbitant salary and bonuses from Bain Capital for restructuring companies by laying off thousands of workers. He hides the giveaway deductions on his homes. Because Mitt is the tallest Lilliputian among a group of Lilliputians doesn’t make him a president.

I guess God does not love her as much as Romney.

Ron Paul will probably stay till the bitter end. It would be interesting who they set up as the next nominee. Most Americans are not conservatives or liberals, somewhere in between depending on issues. The right has veered to far right. If anyone believes that it doesn’t cost money to fund wars is delusional. We don’t even take enough in to fund them and our troops without credit.

The “Queen of Rage” needs time off to have her nerves and blood pressure checked.

Another kook bites the dust and according to her she was chosen by God himself.

Haha…..all you ragging on Michelle Bachmann (she isn’t my choice but that’s beside the point)…….who IS qualified to run the country? Obama?? Romney??? Gingrich???? Sorry guys but get real! We’re electing (or RE-electing) a turkey no matter who wins. When you rag on people like Bachmann, do it out loud, tape yourself, then play it back so you can hear how pathetic you sound. You can say “Bachmann’s this…” or “Bachmann’s that…”, but at least she knows when to shut the heck up!

One chickenhawk warmonger down,three to go.(Romney,Santorum,Gingrich)

I wonder if the Men in Black will deport her back to her home planet now that she’s unemployed.

Did you really need a caucus, Michelle, to tell you what just about everyone else already knew??

To all you idiots who are calling her unqualified to run the country, who is she unqualified compared to, OBAMA? Give me a break. She has 2x the credentials he did prior to getting elected. She is the most Conservative candidate in the race, never changed her message or intentions, does not lie, does not have skeletons in her closet. To anyone with a moral base and an understanding of what the Establishment is doing to this country, that makes her the MOST qualified for this office. Thats the problem, the Establishment pushed her out and fooled all the useful idiots into believing she is unqualified in the same manner they fooled you into thinking Obama and his policies are qualified and/or good for this country.

“I wonder if the Men in Black will deport her back to her home planet now that she’s unemployed.”

She’s not unemployed you halfwit. She’s the Congresswoman for Minnesota’s 6th district.

Dang, these Obamabots are hopeless. No wonder they voted for that fraud in 2008 and are willing to vote for him again, even after three years of his miserable, failed policies.

Well, it looks like the fringies have reduced the field from Snow White and the 7 Dwarves to Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dumb, and Tweedle-Dumber. Any of these losers will be fodder for Obama, unless of course the TeaPublicans pull a Bush and fix the election like they did in 2000. I wouldn’t put it past them to try that again, what-the-heck, it got one incompetent elected, it might work again.

Good. another useless neocon steps aside. RP 2012.

Thanks for running MIchelle! I, for one, am glad to still have Bachmann in Congress to stick it to the Dems. Next, I am very glad to see Rick Santorum in a statistical dead heat with the Republican Establishment candidate Romney. Rick, if he stays true to his strong conservative positions, is a strong contender and could follow Reagan’s trajectory. Romney is doomed to be yet another in a long line of moderates who are primped and prepped to be uninspiring milqtoast candidates destined flame out in mid-October like Ford, Bush(41), Dole, and McCain.

“…And as a woman, I was embarrassed to be represented by her.”

Which leads me to ask a question: Did Michele Bachmann’s candidacy help or hurt future women who might run for President?

Isn’t it interesting that women around the world are holding major, major, powerful positions except here in the United States? Okay… Secretary of State and Speaker of the House…

Michele Bachman made the same mistake all the other candidates are making. Quit playing Romney’s game. Make him take a stance. Don’t settle for his 30 second sound bites and presidential name calling. You have to convince the fat cats in the Republican Party he’s unelectable.

Go after his 59 nine point plan that further shrinks the middle class and gives all the power in this country to the corporations. Slam him on the huge salary and big bonuses he got as CEO of Bain Capital. Quit being so gentle on him. I don’t like Newt, but he is right, Romney is a liar, don’t let Romney’s PACs set the agenda.

If the republican candidates can’t compete with Mitt, the President and the DNC can. If the other candidates don’t have the guts do this, they might as well follow Bachman and go home.

When God told Michele to “RUN” he was talking about Marcus.

Seriously if you supported her you need to get your head examined.

She got 5% human grace and a 95% DIVINE BOOT!!

bachman should be ashamed of herself, barking that the Persident is a one tearm Persident here she cant even have a decient rating.

Charles posted: “Rather glaring omission that her campaign chief, Kent Sorenson,
quit her campaign last week and endorsed Ron Paul.”

And if you look at the polling numbers, Cong. Paul went from first place down to third place following Mr. Sorenson’s brilliant advice. Perhaps we can get Kent to sign on
to President Obama’s staff and help them in a similar manner.

Michele Bachmann > Obama. By several galaxies and an ocean at least.

“Michele Bachmann > Obama. By several galaxies and an ocean at least.”

Well put. She is infinitely better than the fraud we have now.

Of course, it really doesn’t take much to be infinitely better than he.

I am a Tea Party member and respect Michele. But once she twisted Herman Cains 999 plan in a public forum without blinking I let go of any chance of me sticking my neck uot for her. ‘You know, if you take Herman Cains 999 program and flip it upside down it’s 666!’ Wow,Really?

Too bad. Another good candidate destroyed by the media. Bachmann joins Palin and others who have a lot to offer the country but represent a great threat to the liberal lock on women’s votes. Conservative women, just like conservative blacks and hispanics, will continue to be attacked relentlessly.

GOD told her to get back into the kitchen and stop flapping her lips in a Man’s world…

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. God, what an idiot.

One can only go so far on crazy.

Michele had the guts to call out Newt, Cain and Perry and the brains to know when to step aside.
She should be awarded a Cabinet Position in the next Administration.

Guys about Ron Paul – he did FANTASTIC.

He doubled his performance from 2008. We were told the upper limit for him was 10 percent, then 15 percent, then 20 percent – he broke every limit.

He has his ticked out of Iowa, and is running in 2nd place in New Hampshire – and he’s ready to compete nationwide.

The drumbeat of ‘too bad he lost’ is coming from people who know full well he didn’t lose – it’s just that the average joe schmuck thinks he’s a petty manipulator, and gets on these forums saying the opposite of what he believes.

Whatever Ron Paul marches on.

___”Michele was the ONLY CANDIDATE that dared to call out the FACT that Barack Hussein has two Kenyan Illegal Alien Family Members living in the US, 100% on the US Taxpayers dime. Which remaining candidate will dare to take this point of argument to the remaining GOP debates, as well as to the debate when poised against Barack Hussein???

POSTED BY: JANE SMITHFIELD | JANUARY 4, 2012, 12:29 PM 12:29 PM____________Cheap shot. Missing your milk and cookies?

Get used to it republicans, you’re stuck with Mitt. As soon as this dog and pony show is over, Mitt will have to enter the big leagues where 30 second sound bites and name calling don’t work. He’ll have to take a stance and defend his 59 point shrink the middle class and give everything to the truffle eaters plan.

Then let him try to tell blue collar workers he’s one of them while he benefits from the huge salary and big bonuses he got from Bain Capital. The republicans coddle him because the fat cats think he can defeat President Obama.

Romney will go the way he did last time when John McCain kicked his butt by pinning him down and making him tell the truth.

The Pew Center reported in April 2011 the cause of a $12.7 trillion shift in the debt situation, from a 2001 CBO forecast of a cumulative $2.3 trillion surplus by 2011 versus the estimated $10.4 trillion public debt we actually face in 2011. The major drivers were:

Revenue declines due to the recession, separate from the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003: 28%
Defense spending increases: 15%
Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003: 13%
Increases in net interest: 11%
Other non-defense spending: 10%
Other tax cuts: 8%
Obama Stimulus: 6%
Medicare Part D: 2%
Other reasons: 7%[33]

MICHELLE

Who ever made that post is not SEARAMBLER

Do they keep the money?

If Perry and Bachman were out of the race last night, Santorum or Ron Paul would have beaten Romney by 10 percentage points.

Now I suspect Romney has made an overnight deal with Perry to stay in the race and take votes away from the other two in exchange for a VP slot. We’ll see if Perry goes after Romney or continues to set up his 30 second sound bites.

Bachmann was by far the worst choice and the entire GOP lineup is reminiscent of one big obnoxious circus that people have stopped buying tickets to. Those of you who cling so desperately to the right should know that this woman would only have stuck women back in the kitchen to be submissive to their husbands. I know abortion is a touchy subject but she would have also outlawed the right from rape victims or women who suffer fatal pregnancy complications. This is coming from a hardworking moderate, the only GOP that stands a chance against Obama is Ron Paul. With newer generations coming out as outspoken liberals and the occupy movement getting them riled up about politics, more of them are registered to vote now.

So to all the ladies and gentlemen to the right, good freaking luck. They all suck and you know it. Find me any politician who is honest and about the American people and I will start believing in unicorns.
(I’m a tax paying business owner who’s probably voting for Obama. See you at the booth)

I’m really saddened that you gave up so easily. I was looking forward to supporting you or Sarah Palin. We need a change and I felt you would have been it!!

So sick of men and women who have such overwhelming disrespect for intelligent principled women. Posted by: Justice | January 4, 2012, 2:07 pm.

I do not see either intelligence or principles from this woman. This is a woman who said publicly, into a microphone, that women should submit to their husband. She claimed this was the reason she went to law school to learn tax law, because her husband told her to.

Do you feel the same way about an intelligent principled man? Like the President? Are you sick of the overwhelming disrespect his detractors show for him? Or is your moral outrage reserved for women only?

I’d much prefer the Democrats lose a majority in the Senate than Obama lose the White House. Harry Reid is unprincipled and has to go.

II suspect that Perry cut a deal with Romney last night to keep Perry in the race to take votes away from Santorum, and Ron Paul in exchange for the VP slot. We’ll know for sure if Perry just slams Santorum and Paul in South Carolina. If he does, there’s no doubt Perry is small change in Mitts pocket.

Well this is sad, but maybe now you can return to your loving home and make your husband a couple of cheeseburgers. What the hell, make him six. And supersize them.

It would be nice if ABC would take the time to point out the gaffes, missteps, broken promises and outright lies of Mr. Obama.

“GOD told her to get back into the kitchen and stop flapping her lips in a Man’s world…”

POSTED BY: JIMBO___________LOL! It’s true: The bible says that women are to be submissive. Being a Christian and a god fearing woman, I’m sure Michelle Bachmann knows that.

An amoeba has better intelligence. The only thing she had going for her were her looks, nothing else.

The lesson here is that voters hate a liar. We love to be lied to, but we hate liars. Tell us about how you’re going to make us rich, etc, but don’t make wild claims about yourself.

Bachman is unstable. Good riddance.

Kathleen — agreed. Ever notice how pretty much everyone on FOX uses the “Mr. Obama” and quite of quite a few people on CNN do the same. When is the last time you heard anyone say Mr. Reagan?

Tmferretti; Do you work for the DNC? You seem to be quite versed in political dirty and underhanded Chicago styled politics.

NEWCOUNTRYMAN

No I don’t work for the DNC but I’ve always been taught to look for motives. Perry spent a bunch in Iowa, and got only 10% of the vote. If anybody had a reason to drop out it was him.

Now all of a sudden he’s back in the race, what’s his motive? The only thing that would make sense is if Romney offered him something to stay. We’ll see in Saturday’s debate, who Perry goes after, if it’s Romney, I’m wrong. If it’s Santorum Gingrich or Newt I hit the nail it right on the head.

For her fifteen minutes of fame, Michelle Bachmann has earned a new title for herself. From now on, she will be known as the “former presidential candidate.” So, she hasn’t really lost anything.

Its pretty bad when the state that you were born and raised in wont endorse you, but the people of Iowa spoke, obviously they were getting really sick of her nonsense and lack of intelligence. Maybe Michele and Sara could start their own bus tour, they could call it the “yes, were idiots but we gladly accept your money tour”.

The only good thing is that if she did receive the republican nominee, Obama would have won a enormous landslide victory, OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 1 candidate can win independents, conservative democrats, moderates, and all republicans:nRon Paul.

No one else can make that claim.

If people think Ron Paul is ‘nutty’ and all he does is hold firmly to the constitution, then those people very simply do not support our constitution, THE DEFINING DOCUMENT that made us an excellent nation among the rest. If people can’t support that – why are they still here?

Check out europe or Asia if you want “collective” which is reapply just “top-down” government. Go check it out – it DOESN’T WORK. I have cousins in Ireland, a brother in Spain, in-laws in Italy – and it’s always the same story: governments can’t run lives! All that results is a mixture of Corruption and Ineptitude.

You guys really want to support the continued expansion of ou military presence and threat around the world? That is NOT what our country is about. We are supposed to be the leaders of the FREE world, not the “secure” world.

You don’t give up freedoms for security.

Thomas Jefferson said he would rather suffer the inconveniences of too much freedom than too little.

Only 1 candidate will give us MORE FREEDOM.

Let’s go Ron!
We won Equal delegates in Iowa.
New Hampshire: YOU’RE UP!!

I was so looking forward to Marcus being first lady. He would have looked beautiful in his inaugural gown and beaded clutch.

It is too bad that Michelle has left the race. Iowa is only one state and she may have picked up some steam as others trip themselves up. Good job, Michelle. You did well and thank you!
