The fact that she has not been booed off the stage bears testament to an awful lot of people sharing those feelings. Any reasonable, thinking person should find this deeply disturbing.

Originally Posted By Labuda ^^^ Stand back, everyone, I'm going to say something positive about Michele Bachmann, for the first and possibly ONLY time: at least she's not quitting mid-term like a certain other tea party skank.

Originally Posted By MissCandice I have to agree with Josh. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman can be called a lot of things but skank is not one of them.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder On line Merriam Webster: 1skank noun \ˈskaŋk\ Definition of SKANK slang : a person and especially a woman of low or sleazy character Seems to me that fits.

To me, that's low or sleazy character, hence a skank. Moreover, I'd call it promiscuous to sacrifice one's ideals and morals in order to smear something or someone else. In other words, whoring yourself out to lie. There are skanks, and then there are political skanks. Palin and Bachmann are two fine examples of the latter.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip People here know me, know that I am middle of the road, and that I often defend conservatives. Palin and Bachmann are CERTAINLY skanks in the way that SPP identified. And you also know that I don't agree with SPP all that often.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 "It's all about the money. She's following the Palin plan: Quit and cash in." Yep. And quit before you lose your next election so you don't get the loser tag on you.
Originally Posted By Labuda Thank you, SPP... I was not talking about either of them "sleeping around" since, well, frankly, I don't think either of them does that. I was indeed referring to their character, or lack thereof.
