Florida tea partiers embrace news that Michele Bachmann's running for president
http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/national/florida-tea-partiers-embrace-news-that-michele-bachmanns-running-for/1177584


Michele Bachmann's formal announcement of her candidacy for president was met with this response from Florida tea partiers: Amen.

The Minnesota Republican congresswoman, who officially launched her campaign in Iowa, has been a tea-party standard bearer since the birth of the movement two years ago and now it appears to be paying off.

Bachmann is tied with national Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses and she's running in second place in Florida, according to new polls that show her well ahead of Republicans Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman.

"None of the guys are really exciting. I'm excited now," said Apryl Marie Fogel, a tea party organizer from Melbourne and Republican consultant. "She has charm, but she's also tough ... and she's going after the grassroots of the party."

2. yep, she's just what the doctor ordered for these teabaggers
hell, she has tits.

I have been in an ongoing battle with one of the teabaggers. He is a self employed person that lives off of his wifes' inheritance from her dead ex husband.

He doesn't really talk issues, just spouts talking points and then goes into silent mode when those points are explained.

Maybe batshit should have a form letter made for the locals to send to the newspapers ala prickscott.

6. T Rump lost his punch; time for a new flavor of the month
Will Old Crazy Eyes be gone by the Feast of the Assumption, or will she have the staying power to last until Labor Day? In any event, I predict that Ms. Bachmann will be out of the serious running before its no longer fashionable to wear white.
