Michele Bachmann Running for GOP Leadership Post

I live in northeast Ohio, and we have Dennis Kucinich tilting at windmills all the time, but this woman is too much. She just has no grasp of reality. As long as the GOP has Joe Barton, this woman and Sarah Palin, they should never criticize anyone else.

There are no positives in the Tea Party desire to repeal Health Care because they aim at the entire bill being removed. After one hundred years, we finally got the Congress to work on health care. If Bachman wants a position of power, lets hope the Republicans ask her the specifics of what she wants to change in ALL the 270 bills before Congress in December as well as Health Care. Saying that people are thrilled is not enlightening. This person is barely mediocre as a leader, a candidate off the conservative shelf. We need intelligence and thought, not thrills to solve our economy and jobs problems.

If Bachmann has any relatives who receive Medicare benefits (or destitute relatives who receive dwindling Medicaid benefits) or Social Security checks, is she in favor of "means testing" as a way to cut the soaring costs of entitlement programs? Funny how a lot of so-called "real conservatives" just spout "Get you hands off my health care" but don't urge retirees to surrender their Medicare cards in protest of the deficit. Their whole agenda right is only to tear down the Health-Care Bill, but where are Tea Party's specific programs to help Americans get back to work and stay healthy in the meantime? Tapping into anger and short attention spans of voters will only go so far. And no, I'm not a Democrat. Just wondering if the solutions are hiding under all the rhetoric and hate signs. We Republicans won because we tore down our opponents--but who has presented any real plans? I've seen all the debates on C-span and am still looking for answers! Anyone out there have any links to any sensible/realistic proposals from our side? Thanks.

she needs to answer the questions that are asked of her...who knows her views are and what she will do or can accomplish if she can't even answer a question directly...articulate please!

Bachman was caught in another lie yesterday...saying the president will spend 200 million a day on a trip to India. She made it up.

That statement to Matthews was priceless! You go Michele!

The men have been in charge for over 200 years and look at the mess we continue to have. I want the women like Michelle and Sarah to move in and clean up this mess!

I am a Minnesotan and hope and pray the Republican party is too smart to give her anything. She has embarrassed this state to death...

Bachman is so far right and radical with her ideas that I fear that this woman will never listen to the other side. She has shown how stuborn she can be; even when she knows how wrong her ideas may be. I think Bachman would be our worst nightmare other than Mickey Haley!

She is a super star in my book and an honest, smart woman who will do many good things for our Country. I hope she is on the Presidental ticket in 2012. I would love a Huchabee/Bachmann ticket for a ready great team to clean up the Federal fiasco.
