Palin and Pawlenty to help Bachmann raise cash
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/03/11/art.bachmann0121.gi.jpg caption="Both Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin will help Rep. Michele Bachmann raise money in April."]Washington (CNN) - Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty, two potential rivals for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, will meet in Minneapolis next month to help raise money for Rep. Michele Bachmann, an outspoken conservative and popular figure among Tea Party activists.
Palin had previously announced that she would campaign for Bachmann this spring, and Bachmann's campaign followed up Thursday with the announcement that the former Alaska governor will host an April 7 fundraiser for the Bachmann's re-election campaign.
But Bachmann's campaign also announced that Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor, will be one of several "Honorary Hosts" for the fundraiser - adding an extra layer of 2012 intrigue to the event.
The other "Honorary Hosts" are also Minnesota Republicans: former Sen. Norm Coleman, Rep. John Kline and Rep. Erik Paulsen.
Bachmann's campaign said a rally with Palin is still being planned.

Dear State of Minnesota,
Please do not reelect this woman, she is hateful and divisive. She has called for us "to arm and revolt" against a president that the majority of our Country voted for.
She is a huge fear and hate monger.
Now this is a scary thought! Bachman, Palin, and now Pawlenty? Beam me up Scotty! The only one not on the agenda is Cheney.
The three stooges is what they are except they are not funny. These three are the most uninformed, out of touch hate mongers alive in the US. Giving them money is like sponsering the devil to spread fear, hate and lies to the masses.
Gosh, she is so crazy. I understand Palin raising money for her but I'm kind of put off that Pawlenty is going that road. I always thought Pawlenty had the most class out of the republican pool. What a shame.
This just make me laugh
It restores one's faith in human nature to see Larry and Curly helping Moe to get re-elected: A Strumpet, A Bumpet and a Fool.
This sounds like a Comedy Central event.
What the tea party folks and, in fact, most other Americans fail to realize is that unchecked global capitalism is the root cause of every single one of the problems that confront us today. Think about it. No real job growth for the past decade. Increased income disparity. Environmental degradation. Wars over resources (Surprise, surprise, surprise: Yemen has oodles of natural gas and a brand new gas liquification plant, so suddenly, we find "terrorists" there). You think the wars for fossil fuels are bad, wait till the water starts running out. Factual news has been replaced with narrowly focused opinion and inuendo. Terrorism is a response to global neo-colonialism and severe global inequality. Failure on our government's part to reform anything is due to huge corporate donations to our congress critters. The Democrats and Republicans are no different. Their main task is to maintain the status quo so that the economic elite get theirs while the rest suffer. The illusion that there are two different ideologies vying for control is maintained to keep us divided and hateful toward eachother and distract us from who's really pulling the puppet strings. Single-payer healthcare, for example, would help everyone from the man on the street to business owners who would have the burden of providing benefits to their employees removed. And it would reduce the deficit. But, once again, the corporate propaganda machine has terrified the ignorant masses with a socialist boogie-man scenario, as outlined in that fund-raising presentation left behind at that meeting in FL, so once again the average American votes against his or her best interest. I have not yet seen the CBO do a cost-benefit analysis of single-payer, have you? They are afraid of what it would show. It's frightening, really. We are ruled by money junkies. I take comfort in two facts. First, there is not much left to steal from the poor and working class, so the elite have begun eating eachother (why were some companies bailed out and others allowed to fail last year?) Second, such a system becomes unsustainable as more have-nots are created. The problem with unregulated capitalism is that eventually nobody has any money left except for the top 5%.
But just keep believing what your corporate masters want you to believe, consumerbots. Have a nice day!
P.S. Ayn Rand is still an idiot!
Associating himself with the Tea Party, Bachman and Palin is one of the worst things Pawlenty could do for his career.
Tim, I voted for you for Governor of Minnesota. If you're going to associate yourself with these people you'll get no vote from me when you run for president. You've been fairly good at keeping it real. I don't agree with everything you do but that's how it goes.
Neither Palin or Bachman represent any semblance of reality. I'm not looking for a leader that wears a tinfoil hat or waves a banner of ignorance with pride. I'm looking for realist and someone who will protect my rights and not create legislation based on fear.
If you choose this direction you'll not only lose me, you'll lose about 50% of the people who voted for you for Governor. We're waiting for the opportunity to get Bachman out of office. Be part of finding a better candidate for that position instead of supporting the dogma of the crazy and ignorant. Don't support people with a tinfoil hats who run around making up stories.

She is sure to lose now seeing as how Palin is making a cameo!!!
Good job, Palin. Keep in touch with the Republicans because you are helping the Democrats!!!
Palin is the Democrats secret weapon!
2 very angry white women with a bad attitude
The Dream ticket for 2012 for the Dems would be Palin/Pawlenty too weak comtenters.
A new word for the Engish dictionary; travestites, meaning people that
deal in travesty; absurd or grotesque misrepresentation.
Bachmann and Palin and Pawlenty can hold hands and
trashtalk or trash-sing together. Nothing they believe in, or propose are of any help to the people that need it most.
Its Beavis and Butthead to the rescue.
Yet more verbal vomit form the Repuiblicanknuckleheads. I must confess though I do enjoy the comedy aspect of this party. Could they get any more funny?
Well, after all tomorrow is another day.
great christian inbreeds thats what this country needs white taliban.
3 of the stupidest people alive in one place at the same time? I hope the Earth swallows them up.
Pawlenty = mayonnaise sandwich on wonder bread.....:)
Michelle Bachman is pure evil. She lies thru the skin of her teeth and does it with a straight face. I bet her and Palin are sisters who got seperated at birth. There mother must have been Cruella DeVille. Tim Pawlenty should stay away from them before he gets cast in to the lake of fire along with these bimbos.
I'm so embarrassed
My donation will be going to Tarryl Clark who is running against Bachmann and I live in California.
Did Palin & Pawlenty watch the Larry King interview with the wide-eyed Bachmann last week? Being the "conservative" figure, Bachmann got caught in outright LIES again.
The perfect trio!! All stupid
I'm looking forward to see the blooper reel.. These 2 should have their own reality show!
