We Need to Divide and Conquer Michele Bachmann's base with this Strategy

[CaptainAmerica]

-Maintain a momentum on her tail about how she owns a $250,000 farm and received over $250,000 in farm subsidies which she voted for.
-Drive a wedge between Michele Bachmann and her base voters by establishing her true image as "elite socialist".
-Michele Bachmann and Marcus Bachmann(use his full name because husband might make you out to be attacking her marriage). Michele Bachmann and Marcus Bachmann received over $161,000 of medicaid in one year and made even bigger profits from it and the farm subsidies
-Focus on delivering only the facts
-Don't fall into the trap of taking cheap shots at her even though she makes innaccurate historical statements
-Nail her social welfare lifestyle to the wall and divide her from her base voters.

The goal is to drive a wedge between Michele Bachmann and her base voters .We need them to realize how much of a gap there is between them and her "elite socialism".

We need Michele Bachmanns voters in New Hampshire to contend.Do it for Ron paul and for the U.S. Constitutional Republic!

Just point out her voting for the Patriot Act and stimulus.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Just focus on the achilles heel of Bachmann's platform .We need to pick the smarter battle and that would be social welfare which she receives and lives off of.

I imagine a lot of Republicans are for the Patriot Act, so pointing out that she voted for it isn't going to likely help.

Personally, I'm not worried about her. I don't see her as a threat at all. I see many of her supporters coming to Paul's camp when she drops out. That is, unless we run them away.

I think Perry, however, IS a threat.

You be surprised how many republicans have woken up to the Patriot Act once they realized the power that it gave Obama. To those who haven't woken up yet, pitch it to them this way. "Do you think Obama should have access to your gun records without having to get a warrant? Well Michele Bachmann thinks so."

It's too early to tell who is or is not a threat at this point. Remember in 2008 when everyone claimed Giuliani was the "front runner"? It was McCain who ended up with the nomination after almost tanking completely. Yes we need to turn up the heat on Perry, but I don't think he can weather honest criticism like his Gardisil mandate.

Nailing here on farm subsidies yes. The medicaid thing could bite us however through Rand.

Just point out her voting for the Patriot Act and stimulus.

I'm still not clear on the stimulus implication. I thought she voted "no" on all stimulus votes...

 

[CaptainAmerica]

We need to get her base voters!

I am not saying whether or not people are "afraid" of Bachmann. My post is a strategy to divide and conquer her base of voters. We need them for Ron Paul to win,it is a fact.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Thus the tangent occurs. This is why I said nail her for her farm subsidies. It is a cold hard fact that cannot be denied.

 

[Alex540]

I know she voted for at least some of the stimulus funding.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/10/michele-bachmann-stimulus_n_922851.html
"The three-term congresswoman has belittled the stimulus package, deemed the Obama administration both corrupt and "gangster," and lamented the "orgy" of spending she sees happening in Washington."
"A Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Huffington Post with three separate federal agencies reveals that on at least 16 separate occasions, Bachmann petitioned the federal government for direct financial help or aid. A large chunk of those requests were for funds set aside through President Obama's stimulus program, which Bachmann once labeled "fantasy economics." Bachmann made two more of those requests to the Environmental Protection Agency, an institution that she has suggested she would eliminate if she were in the White House. "


Michele Bachman not only spoke against stimulus, she secretly petitioned the U.S. federal government for a piece of the stimulus pie for personal benefit.How's that for some cold hard facts.My own assumption is that Bachmann tried to get stimulus through the EPA for her farm to make it very secretive that she was actually petitioning to receive that social welfare.

I think he means she voted for TARP

I think she is in the process of collapsing and we don't need to do anything to help the process along. Any action we take against her could backfire in any number of ways. Let's let her collapse naturally... plus, there are plenty of others 'going after her'.

I think what we need to focus on is how to win over her supporters... I'm not sure how, but it would be great to add her supporters to Ron Paul.

LOL exactly. We just need to help the process along.This is precisely why I am making a strategy to win over her base voters before they jump to support someone other than Ron Paul.

My guess is that she will self-destruct the same way Herman Cain has done.

 

[FriedChicken]

Here is my 2cents:
Bachmann won't last much longer, she is destroying herself. Instead of tearing her down we should start out the conversation with all the things we like about Bachmann and relate to how that is similar to Ron Paul.
Then give off a short pitch on why you've chosen Ron Paul over Bachmann. We won't win many people over if we put her supporters on the defensive ... but when she leaves the race then we make a harder push to win her supporters after already laying the ground work ahead of time.

When talking to a Bachmann supporter, after mentioning how Bachmann is reasonable choice, talk about how much better Ron Paul is than Rick Perry and Mitt Romney and point out all the differences that are between those two candidates and Ron Paul.

Meanwhile we should try to rise in the polls by going after (in order of time sensitiveness) undecideds, Tim Pawlenty supporters, Independents (especially in NH) and Rick Perry supporters.

This is more like it!
We need to win them over... not alienate them or chase them away.
