Thank You John McCain-- You are an example of Americans who will stand up and do the right thing, regardless of party affiliation. I wish we had more leaders like you.
It appears Congresswoman Bachmann answered Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn and backed up her claims just as she was asked. ------------------------------------- When? She absolutely has not backed up her claims. Not at all. In fact an update CBS news article goes into the accusations even deeper. This Bachmann is nuts!!!
The big question is: where is Romney's condemnation of this extremist moron? Is he too afraid of loosing the Tea Party support to do "the right thing". Did his 'politics' get in the way of his 'ethics'?
Wow Bachmann. You know, I voted for Obama last election but I've been concerned about the administration's economic policies. Historical values of the GOP such as fiscal conservatism and smaller government appeal to me. I could vote for that. But when I look at Republican "leaders" like Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh, Norquist, Palin, etc. etc. the practical GOP principles I value are utterly overshadowed by all the bizarre witch hunt mentality and moral righteousness that somehow seems to have permeated the party.
Obama will get my vote again, not because I am particularly pleased with job he has done, but because I'm truly concerned that the Republican Party has tipped into a kind of zealotry that seeks to legislate morality at the cost of freedom.
Bachmann it would seem was doing a test run of McCarthyism II. I'm sure she knew that GOP moderates like McCain and Romney would condemn her for it, and that may just be the point. Her defiant attitude about it may signal that she is counting on galvanizing support from far right conservatives to drive a final wedge between the moderates and her brand of Tea Party Republicans. A power play to eliminate moderate voices in the party that obstruct the far right agenda.
Where's the outpouring of Congressional support from Bachmann? I expected all those statesmen to come rushing to her defense. Are any of her letter-writing "gang of 5" notable for, well, anything? Or did they think they saw a bandwagon rolling by, and decided to jump on?
Bachmann is playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Abedin has a deceased family member who was founder of an institution that had the support of another institution that supposedly was aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. Even if all that is true (which, coming from Bachmann, I have to seriously doubt) there's still no hint of any wrongdoing on Abedin's part.
What Bachmann is really saying is "MUSLIM! SCARY!"
It's nice to see the old maverick McCain back. I really didn't like the sell-out McCain.
This coming from a person who had dual citizenship because of her husband. What investigation was done on her?
"As evidence, she pointed to Abedin's late father, Professor Syed Z. Abedin, and a 2002 Brigham Young University Law Review article about his work. Bachmann points to a passage saying Abedin founded an organization that received the "quiet but active support" of the the former director of the Muslim World League, an international NGO that was tied to the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe in the 1970s through 1990s. So, to connect Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood, you have to go through her dead father, to the organization he founded, to a man who allegedly supported it, to the organization that man used to lead, to Europe in the 1970s and 1990s, and finally to the Brotherhood".
You know, McCain should've run again. He would've blown away all the other GOP 'contenders', and he actually would've stood a chance of taking some liberal voters from Obama. Considering the class he has shown, I would've considered voting for him.
Whatever happened to Gaddafi? Didn't you say he was going to remain in power? Needed "boots on the ground", 10 years of fighting, etc. LOL!! The irony.
it is obvious you can walk down the street and see bums and ask them who are you for "Obama", you can ask illegal aliens who are you for "Obama", you can ask Mexican Drug Cartel who are you for "Obama", you can ask thugs, and gang members who are you for "Obama", you can ask rappers who are you for "Obama", you can ask terrorist who are you for "Obama", you can ask the Communist Chinese Government who are you for "Obama", in fact you can ask every enemy known to America who are you for "Obama", but you ask Americans who are you for "America", and those that are trying to defend it, Border Patrol, Army, Navy, Marines, and Air force, ask Police, Firefighters, business people, ask those struggling with bills, and family, ask law abiding citizens, ***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,***>Romney 2012<***,
You can ask morons who you are for "Romney". You can ask reality deniers who you are for "Romney". You can ask the richest Americans who you are for "Romney".
I could go on and on...
By the way, police and firefighters are in public unions. As a whole, they do NOT go for the anti-union GOP.

LOL!
Obama and his followers put the Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt and Libya.
The Irony
And, nope, they were elected by the people of Egypt.

Gosh, is there anything you can do about your tourette syndrome?
