Columbia, S.C. -- Michele Bachmann announced 19 additional members of her South Carolina Tea Party coalition today, including three who will serve as her regional co-chairs: Steve Rapchick, a 9/12 leader, as Lowcountry chairman; Preston Baines, a former Perry supporter, as Midlands chairman; and Tea Party activist Jonathon Hill as Upstate chairman. In addition to Tea Party supporters announced last week, Bachmann’s Tea Party coalition in the Palmetto State now includes 56 members.
"I once was a strong Perry supporter. Now, as we move closer to the election, I see that Michele Bachmann’s consistent conservative record is what our country needs. We don’t need more Washington-insiders or pretend conservatives like Newt Gingrich,” Baines, of Columbia, says in a release to be sent out tomorrow by the campaign.

Steve Rapchick, Mount Pleasant

Nobody,not even the 56 members on this list seem to care enough to track this down and comment and defend or endorse this bat@!$%# crazy wanna be.......I still can't believe how many supporters old crazy eyes has or has had during this election cycle....I mean c'mon Maher And Stewart have been showing how nuts she has been since first elected to congress.....
Bachmann has been consistant alright, a consistant nut job!
You liberals get your political talking points from comedians...shows how "deep" your thinking is.
Not really Bob. Most of us think for ourselves. But thanks for playing.
No Bob, you've got it all wrong. It's just that the republicans and tea partiers are such a joke that comedians have an easy time of pointing out the stupidities, obsurdities and laughabilities that these fools provide. They stand right up and tell you that these morons give them (comedians) so much material that it's rediculous and I'll also say that if you're listening to the likes of Bachmann, Perry and Cain then you fall into the same catagorie that I have pointed out here. It's Christmas and I'm trying to be nice.
Oh, c'mon, Bob. Now you're just blowing smoke. Not even you can convince us you would find Bachmann a viable candidate. Give it a rest.
I don't get "Talking points" from anywheres but myself bOOBY...That would be you and the rest of the right....We on the left read and think for ourselves....If you think for yourself and aren't a rich bigot you will always land on the left you see............BYE BOOBY
sw philly said,
....I mean c'mon Maher And Stewart have been showing how nuts she has been
You are using them as creditable news sources? come on ... and who's bat sh-t crazy!!
Just pathetic!!
Maxx,
Doesn't matter who is reporting on her. batts**t crazy is batts**t crazy. No way of getting around it. The only thing she has ever said that displays a smidgen of intelligence is when she referred to the two top leaders as "Newt Romney".
Scary thing, I was sitting in a waiting room Monday and heard a couple of tea baggers saying that they used to like Perry, but were going to go for Bachmann. Both could not stand Newt & Willard. Gonna be a whale of a primary!
The real scary thing Phine...
Is that noone really knows what a REAL Tea Party supporter stands for, this is why it is easy for you libs to lump them in with the republicans that are so out of touch.
NO true Tea Party supporter would ever support any of the republican candidates except Ron Paul.
When I overhear them, this is how I know they are not Tea Party, when they dis Dr. Paul they are fakes.
We have to realize that the candidates would like to tap into the Tea Party's energy, not going to happen.
I don't " use them as creditable " news sources....I use them as comedy sources and that is what she is a joke....Are you going to vote for her ? C'mon let us all know how dumb you are....Who are you endorsing ? So we know what category to classify you in.....You already let it be known that you support the right which is crazy enough...Just let us know exactly what brand of bigoted loon you are ?
"I once was a strong Perry supporter"
That pretty much sums it up. Crazy is as crazy does.
Like flies to a steaming pile...
This loonitic has only 3% of the folks that think she is ok. Who cares about her and her extremist followers. They are soooo extreme and more like terrorist than the mid east killers.
teabaggers=idiots following idiots
Blind leading the blind. STFU and go home...stupid c*nt.
Oilman, #1, you kiss your mother with that mouth. #2, You can come up with a better response then that., #2, I bet you are one of those idiots who whip it out and start spanking everytime those idiots Bachmann, and Palin show up on the tube. Go back to Fox (fake) news. I look forward to your idiot response
OilmanMD & Frank-2189266
You both need to go home and have your mommy's wash your mouths out with soap...
You children need to grow up.
Frank -
#1 - Have you forgotten how to count? last I knew, 3 comes after 2...not another 2.
#2 - Last I knew, this was a free country and if I want to label Bachman a stupid c*nt then I will because that is EXACTLY what she is. Who are you? The Vine morale patrol?
#3 - I have NO IDEA why my comment would make you think that I would waste my time watching FAUX news. It's obvious even to the brain dead that my comment is quite anti-Teabagger.
#4 - I took a quick look at your history of responses on here and WOW...what a plethora of intellect you are! Mostly all one-liners calling other people "idiots".
Dude...go take your meds and put yourself out of OUR misery. Thanks. F'n douche-bag.
And another idiot runs for president. Yawn...What else is new.... Well at least she's good entertainment although I think Rick Perry is coming on strong and may dethrone her for the stupid comment crown.
Too bad they don't require intelligence tests in order to run for a national office in all countrys including ours. We would have had alot fewer senseless wars.
