Yes to the first, she voted for it just recently, and I haven't heard on waterboarding but I get the impression she is pretty gung ho DHS altogether.

The Goldwater poster was saying she had a good record so i started thinking about her voting record.

There's a write up or six around somewhere here comparing various voting record issues with Ron's, push the michele bachmann tab in opposing candidates so they line up and scroll down a few pages.

It's good on fiscal policy, bad on foreign policy and civil liberties. Basically she's the anti-Kucinich. People who care more about economics than foreign policy and civil liberties will like Bachmann. People who care more about foreign policy and civil liberties than economics will like Kucinich. Ron Paul is the best of both worlds.

Of course she supports wars, "national security" measures over liberties.

However no need to attack her flawed stances really, she is done almost.

Rand should have highlighted that she's a torturer rather than a tea party candidate.

It will be interesting to see how her 13% nationally evolves as we move forward. I suspect she may have already peaked in the polls.

Ron won't accept it. Why? Afghanistan, Iraq, Patriot Act.

Intresting. I wonder if ron wins who his VP pick would be? I mean he would have to pick from a bunch that supported the patriot act and Wars. Or will he pick an anti war leftist as his VP?

He'll probably go with someone we haven't talked about much.

I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a little bump back to second or third place.

Yea but they are uneducated. Bachmann supported the bail-outs. How can you supposedly critizice the Fed, yet support the Fed bailing out the banks?

Uh, Bueller.

Bachmann voted TWICE against TARP. Not once but twice.

I wonder if Paul would consider rolling out his VP pick at a more strategic time? Like a week before the Iowa caucus?

Only if the poll is done within a week or so. IMHO

Calling others uneducated then stating an untrue phrase about a candidate is fairly ironic. (she was always against TARP)

Bachmann has a TON of dirt on her for things she supports, things she lies about, things she doesn't understand, but you only do Ron Paul a disservice by stating things without researching them on a forum named after him. Do research next time.
