Bachmann: not commenting on Rand Paul

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachman, filing for re-election Monday in St. Paul, had much to say about the Tea Party movement, the problems with "Obamacare" and Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, whom she said she would be "honored" to help campaign for.

But the Minnesota Congresswoman, who is no stranger to controversy, would not comment on another Republican drawing his own share of controversy, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul from Kentucky. Paul, a leading voice of the Tea Party movement, scored a surprising victory last week in capturing the party's U.S. Senate nomination. In interviews, Paul suggested the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 was too broad and should not be applied to private businesses, such as luncheonettes.

"I'm not commenting on Rand Paul," said Bachmann, speaking to reporters at the State Capitol. "I've got to focus on my race."

1. If she's not commenting on Rand Paul

that means she's not DISAGREEING with Rand Paul. Right? How's THAT for "Gotcha!"?

2. Or simply following Reagan's 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."

3. Michael bachman is an embarassment to the human race

[Mike Daniels]

4. Hard to fault her or any candidate asked to comment on another candidate

Bachman's election will depend on Minnesota voters.

I doubt Bachman's stance on Paul is of any real concern to the Minnesota voter compared to her stance on issues that affect Minnesota.

5. "I've got to focus on my race."

Funny, that seems to be Rand's position, too . . .

7. Yep- She was refering to the white race. I hope Tarryl Clark destroys Bachmann in Nov.

6. Perhaps...

Bachman thinks that Paul makes her look less bat-shit crazy. Not hardly...
