( Michelle Bachmann and Mr. Rangel) Well, that segment was a complete waste of time. Does she really think we want to listen to her go on and on?
I agree, I have a problem with anyone who talks so much about nothing and refuels to alloy anyone else to get a point in. It has been my believe that if a person talks to the point that they don't alloy anyone else to speak is because they're lying. I know that the Affordable care act is not the best it can be right now, but it can be if they stop playing politics.
You're talking about Charlie Rangel, right?
Bachmann actually does not know anything about anything. Kind of sad.
Funny you would say that. Tell me what part of what she said do you think is not true.
Michelle is hated and attacked mercilessly by the left because she tirelessly fights to expose their efforts to grow government. Too few people appreciate her efforts and those that attack her seem to do so with ignorant, petty and weak accusations.
You actually still believe the GOP line for smaller gov't? That was so 30 years ago. Time to start looking at the facts again bub.
Rep. Charles Rangel is a joke at best.
Congress woman Bachmann should be mindful of the show's title ' Crossfire'
You load, fire and reload.
Now again you 'zip' it and let the other side get a word in
Blame the GOP...heck I give them credit for having the backbone to say NO to more bloated government. Why does the federal gov't. think it's entitled to just keep spending and spending and getting deeper and deeper in debt...that's the real entitlement issue. A month or so of government not increasing our debt would be nice, not a crisis.
i am 47 years old with a Bachelor degree in Nursing. I have a pre-esxisting condition and disabled; unable to care for myself and cannot afford a $795. premium every month. My only hope was Obama care, now I can't even get a private insurance to accept me. Defund Obama care why because you are against him think of others. Do not think of it as Obama care think of it as AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE.

One little problem. It's still NOT AFFORDABLE!!!!!!
Last night's headline (approximate): Bachmann Says Obama Like Tyrant
My Response: Bachmannn is as stupid as... Damn! It's going to take a while to think of someone as imbecilicly dumb as Bachmann. Except, of course, for the people that actually voted for her.
Mine was "awaiting moderation" and didn't make it. But did I call anyone a "scumbag?" No.
Oh, I can think of LOTS of people more stupid than her... they are called Obama voters.
What a waste of time! Does Bachmann ever shut up? It's TV, so I had to put up with her simpering, smirking face but she also prevented me from hearing anything but her incessant yakking. How rude! Get control hosts!
What a waste of time. Does Charlie Rangel EVER shut up?!
I would pay big money to sit in an auditorium and have Bachmann and Palin talk. They don't have to have anything prepared. Just come and talk about anything. The entertainment value of that would be huge.
You are right. They are definitely up on the issues and right on target in their views. It would be a very educational night. I wish the rest of America would listen to them. Maybe we wouldn't have such a failure in the White House.
I look forward to watching Crossfire, however, last night Michelle Bachmann screeched so much I had to change the channel. She was rude and unrelenting; did not come up for a breath, did not allow Mr. Rangel to respond or get a word in. S.E. Cupp said that she won but if that's is the tactic for winning then all you need to do is scream, non-stop. Seriously, is that the most appropriate representative of the Republican point of view? I hope not.
You're kidding, right. Charlie Rangel has GOT to be the rudest most inconsiderate politician out there. The man is insane.
You have the nerve to call this regurgitated program Crossfire!! Today you had Rangel and Bachmann on. Your hosts couldn't keep control of the guests. Bachmann was filerbusting and as usual let her alligator mouth overload her hummingbird ass. I'd like to get some out of your program from both sides. Got nothing today. What a waste. As for Cutter, she's just plain stupid.
thank you michelle,but why would you even stoop to been seen with this scumbag rangle
Why does CNN allow all these atrocious people to be on their shows when they do not allow people to finish what they are saying.They just keep on shouting which makes me change to another channel.
I watch Fox for most of my politically centered programming, however I am an avid crossfire viewer.
Crossfire is an excellent program and I enjoy viewing the the debate format.
Great program!!!
Michelle Bachmann, the point of the show is to debate specific issues. If you can't debate it? Shut up! The point is not to talk over everyone, but to hear all perspectives of an issue and arguing your side. Switching topics frequently does not make you look smart...
