Marc, not all Reps believe in the birther BS and some will vote for OL'BO regardless of that issue.
As for why politicians do what they do?? Self interest big time.
So you're suggesting that you believe that you believe that there are Republicans out there now that would actually vote for Obama?!??
Really? How do you figure that?
Also, HOW would Bachmann find walking this thing back to be in her self-interest? That doesn't make sense. She's spent about 2+ years INVESTING in the Birther nonsense to trump up her base. Wouldn't suddenly walking this nonsense back now be more hurtful?
I struggle to see the logic in your statements Claudette.
Help me out here.
Some Reps voted for him the first time round. Some will vote for him in 2012. Not everyone believes in this birther bs Marc. Law of averages say some will be Reps. Some folks simply like the guy.
If a BC is produced and Bachman is smart she will issue an apology with a beaming smile. Walk it back like a MF and explain why she thought as she thought. Its called self initerest. With a BC the whole thing becomes a non-issue anyway. IMO Bachman and any others who supported this birther bs will simply move on to the another issue.
