First, Bachmann was Reagan, then Palin, then Thatcher. Now ? Tim Tebow !!!

A political action committee supporting Michele Bachmann debuted an ad this week that compares the Minnesota congressman to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.


The ad notes that “the establishment sports guys love to hate Tim Tebow: he’s not smart enough, his mechanics are no good, he’s not accurate enough – still, he just keeps winning.” The ad goes on to argue that Tebow makes sports fans “feel guilty” because he doesn’t “drink, cuss, smoke, or kick opponents when they’re down” and because he is a born-again Christian. …


“The same could be said of Michele Bachmann: no baggage, Christian, and like Tebow, she keeps fighting and she just keeps winning votes,” the announcer says. Read More

You’re No Thatcher !!! Bachmann: 'I Want to Be America's Margaret Thatcher'

She confidently predicts her performance in Iowa caucuses will “shock” the current polls there.

Most Republican presidential candidates are quick to compare themselves to Ronald Reagan. But Rep. Michele Bachmann has another conservative from the 1980s she seeks to emulate -– former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

“I want to be America's Margaret Thatcher,” Bachmann told National Journal/CBS News in an interview. “I want to be America's Iron Lady.”

Bachmann, who is seeking to regain the momentum she enjoyed in Iowa during the summer, also had harsh words for fellow candidates Newt Gingrich, Rep. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.

She dubbed Gingrich “the grandfather of the individual mandate” for the former House speaker’s alleged onetime support of Massachusetts’ health care reform policy. She blasted Romney “for signing over 100 same-sex marriage licenses” when he was the Bay State’s governor –- an accusation that is not technically true, since Romney’s administration issued one-day declarations to both gay and straight couples allowing “non-clergy individuals to solemnize a marriage.”

And she predicted that voters will turn away from Paul as they learn more about racist statements included in old newsletters bearing his name.

Polls currently show the Minnesota congresswoman running a distant fifth in Iowa behind those three and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. But she asserted: “I think the polls will be shocked on the evening of January 3rd and January 4th.”
