There’s trouble in Michele Bachmann-land!
The former top tier Republican presidential candidate, who now ranks close to the bottom of the bunch, just experienced political mutiny in her New Hampshire office. Every single one of her staffers quit in frustration, saying they were deceived and treated as second-class citizens by the national Bachmann for President organization.
In a news release, the 5 former staffers said they could not continue working for Bachmann because her national campaign team had been “rude, unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel” to them and “abrasive, discourteous, and dismissive” of the state’s voters.
“These are our neighbors and our friends, and some within the national team treated them more as a nuisance than as potential supporters,” the group wrote. The staffers also said they all had been full-time, paid employees until September 11th, when they were asked to temporarily go “off payroll” due to financial concerns.
It’s certainly not a good sign when your entire local staff of one of the very first primary states quits, and there are “financial concerns” before a single vote is cast. Oh, how much longer can Michele Bachmann remain in the race before her campaign implodes?

Add to that: The woman is, IMO, quite mentally *disturbed" and you've got the makings of a DISASTER </span><span>running for ANY elected office, let alone, running for President of the United States!?! PUHLEEZE. <rolling><span>my eyes> But this gross dark comedy, in the form of "Bachmann for President" speaks to an even more gross dark Comedy of just what the GOP has become. Take a good look at ALL of the GOP "Presidential" candidates. Hunstman may be the ONLY candidate worth a dime outta the whole lot. But that ain't saying much because the "bar" for what's considered an "acceptable" Presidential candidate among the Repubs has NOT only been lowered to a 50 ft… Read more »
