GOP 2012: Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann battles hostile media

http://www.nma.tv/

Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann is a favorite of the GOP's Tea Party wing.

She is popular for her tax platform. Bachmann often invokes nostalgia for the GOP's better times. And that makes her popular with some in the Republican establishment.

But it hasn't been easy going for Bachmann. She placed fifth in a New Hampshire straw poll.

And she flubbed her response to the State of the Union.

Bachmann has signed an anti-gay marriage pledge. And she has refused to answer questions about her effeminate husband and the 'ex-gay' therapy he offers to homosexuals.

The media haven't treated Bachmann kindly. Chris Wallace asked if she was a flake.

Others have tried to make her look crazy. But will this Tea Party firebrand have the last laugh?

Bachmann is looking increasingly desperate, making promises she can't keep such as $2 per gallon gas.

The spotlight is now on Rick Perry and Bachmann is struggling to get noticed.

The most Bachmann can hope for now is a No 2 spot on the GOP ticket.

@LivingthaDreem A piece mocking Ron Paul will be available tomorrow. We will mock the rest of the candidates during the remainder of the week.

I don't know what NMA's politics are. I would point out that Michele Bachmann is a member of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus, and that the GOP historically has been the more Taiwan-friendly of the two US political parties. Just some editorial insight.

I'm voting for Michelle Bachmann in the Florida 2012 Republican primary, not because I think she would make a good president. Rather I think Marcus Bachmann would make an excellent first lady!

$2 per gallon gas? What the fuck? Does she not understand the concept of peak oil?

What revolution? The only place I see Ron Paultards revolting is on Youtube, thumbing up each other's comments into oblivion....

@bluetextonwhitebg Your right I worded that wrong, I meant for you give me a link to how RPs voting record is racist. I know much of his history. The only flaw I can see though is that he may not have a strong economic plan, his free market system may have some flaws. Again WHO ELSE WILL YOU VOTE FOR? All I want is a fucking accountable and honest president, the other candidates aren't even direct with what they say, they're like Obama.
