So how much did Ron Paul pay him?  

How does this guy have any credibility ever again?  Well except among the Paulistinians, but they will take in anybody.  

Michelle Bachman should do the right thing, drop out and give all her support to Santorum!  Screw them!  

If the pure lady in white, that she enjoyed styling herself as, is going to endorse anybody, it will likely to Romney.

Who was the one guy on the stage with her that consistently remained outside of her crosshairs?  That should tell you something.

She’s been serving as a stalking horse for Romney for many months now.

No matter how old I get it seems like the grade school playground politics are always in vogue.

meh.  I’ve got a headache.  I think it’s time to open a bottle of wine and give that headache a reason to exist.

I sold out years ago.  I am a complete fraud.

I don’t buy the “bought him” story.  There is no value to the services of a staffer from a 5th place campaign with less than a week to the caucuses, none.  If they were actually going to to buy him, it would have happened a while ago.

More likely Sorenson just jumped like a rat from a sinking ship, no payment necessary.  The Paul organization in Iowa is permanent and well established, and can help him in his state senate reelection.

Bachmann’s penchant for dishonesty means this charge must be proven, or disbelieved.  Her campaign previously falsely charged Gingrich with buying Tea Party support in South Carolina, and she’s been anything but forthcoming about her husband’s Medicaid revenues.

It sure doesn’t help that her CURRENT political director is calling her a liar:

“I won’t say much about the situation or the conflicting statements beyond this; I can say unequivocally that Kent Sorenson’s decision was, in no way financially motivated.  His decision had more to do with the fact that the Ron Paul supporters have been something of a family to him since he was first elected in 2008 and here in the end, as it becomes more and more apparent that the caucus cycle is coming to an end, Kent believed that he needed to be with them as they stand on the cusp of a potential caucus upset.  While I personally disagree with Kent’s decision, and plan to stay with Michele Bachmann because I truly believe in her, I cannot, in good conscious watch a good man like Kent Sorenson be attacked as a ‘sell-out’ ….That is simply not the case, and it was not the basis of his decision,” said Mr. Enos. 

Problem is, he and Bachmann have conflicting stories and I have absolutely no reason to assume she isn’t lying.  She shown no antipathy toward it up until now.

“Former Sorenson campaign manager: Told me “several times” that Paul campaign offered money for switch”

Everybody sells out in Iowa.  And in New Jersey.

I’d sell everybody out for a cheeseteak right about now.

And if it’s an Italian hot dog?  I’d leave the gun and take the cannolis if you get my drift.

No one is saying Sorenson is honorable.  We are saying Bachmann is a liar.

From all the stories on this, it seems that most of his own backers are Paul supporters already.  Far from “political suicide,” he may be ensuring his reelection.  The Paul organization in Iowa is a permanent fixture, being more or less congruous with the LP there.

Absent hard evidence, there’s really no way to know, as both Bachmann and Paul have histories as liars.

But, I tend to think it’s Bachmann who’s making shit up this time. It’s not like the Paul campaign had so much to gain by recruiting this guy such that they’d be willing to give him a brown paper bag full of cash. If it was Romney’s campaign manager or Gingrich’s chair or something, sure, but frankly this called more attention to Bachmann than she’s had in a month, and didn’t greatly benefit the Paul campaign.

All right, look at it this way. Why would she lie about it? If she wanted to get back at him, wouldn’t it be better to say he’s been a real snake in the grass, stabbing her in the back while working for Paul the whole time he was with her? He probably told her what she said he did, precisely because in the fucked up world of the political operative, abandoning one campaign for another for financial gain is probably understandable and acceptable. Listen to them long enough and they might even manage to convince you its noble. These people are  as fucking toxic as rabid cobras.

Oh bullshit. She’s a politician, of  course she lies, its part of her fucking job description. That’s not the point, the point is the overall political culture, the way they ALL do business. Case in point-

http://legalinsurrection.com/2011/12/rollins-bachmann-stayed-clear- of-attacking-romney-in-hopes-of-vp-slot/

Here we have Ed Rollins declaring out of the blue that Bachmann held off attacking Romney hoping for a VP slot. This is something I have suspected for some time, and though I never approved of it as a tactic or strategy, I can understand her reasoning.

But the point is, why would Rollins come out and say this now. Answer-because he’s a fucking snake in the grass. If he is telling the truth, like Professor Jacobson, a Newt supporter, seems to think, then there’s only one way he would know that. And that would be because IT WAS HIS FUCKING STRATEGY TO START OUT WITH.

Of course his main purpose was never to help her, it was to help fucking Romney. As for this little toadstool we’ve been talking about, ask yourself, how long has he, at heart a Paul supporter, been working for Bachmann? Why do I have this strange suspicion he probably come on board shortly after Bachmann edged out Paul for first place in the Ames Straw Poll.

To paraphrase Gaius Caligula if all these fucking people had one neck I could wring it once and be done with it.
