Michele Bachmann the Minnesotan Tea Partier who some might say is the Miles
Davis of idiocy, is running for President in 2012. Have you read some of the
crazy shit this woman has said? This is going to be awesome.

Bachmann is an absolute treasure trove of batshittery, perhaps even
out-Palin-ing Sarah Palin herself. Her sentences usually contain a subject,
verb, and object and are thus decipherable to native speakers of English,
whereas Palin's statements are mostly the word goulash of a
linguistically-challenged simpleton. Bachmann delivers George W. Bush-level
stupidity combined with Phyllis Schlafly-level "What About The Children" hand
wringing combined with Glenn Beck-style fearmongering combined with the accent
of the mom from Bobby's World. She's the perfect storm of stupidity, and I'd
love to see her crazy eyes attempt to debate President Obama. I'd revel in it.

Among the highlights in her nonsensical, years-long screed include her 2008
Hardball appearance when she called for an "Are You Pro-American Or
Anti-American?" McCarthy-like witch hunt among members of Congress. She also
claimed in 2004 that giving gay Americans rights would lead to other people
losing rights, explaining,

For instance, parents will lose the right to protect and direct the upbringing
of their children. Because our K-12 public school system, of which ninety per
cent of all youth are in the public school system, they will be required to
learn that homosexuality is normal, equal and perhaps you should try it. And
that will occur immediately, that all schools will begin teaching homosexuality.

"Hi honey. How was school?"
"GREAT, Mom! We learned all about scissoring in my favorite class, Beginning
Homosexuality. Teacher says I'm doing amazingly well and will be ready for my
first pair of Junior Birkenstocks soon. I might even be allowed to join the
softball team!"

Heaven forbid parents lose the ability to teach their children to be hateful and
intolerant.

She also believes that teenagers should pay their employers for the privilege of
working because that will somehow (???) lead to them being rich and that the
2010 census is comparable to Japanese internment during WWII. Bachmann, an
evangelical Christian (the kind that, if you're a normal, reasonable Christian,
you're embarrassed of) is also staunchly anti-choice and failed to see the irony
in using the following argument against the Health Care Reform Bill in 2009-

That's why people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the
phone lines of their liberal members of Congress, and let them know, under no
certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my
health care decisions.

The former tax attorney has also called for an "organized revolution" in the US
and is one of the chief paraders-around of that bullshit racist dog whistle
"Take Our Country Back" slogan. Few things would cause me more glee than
watching that woman embarrass herself on a larger scale than she already has.

While delighting in the schadenfreude of watching a dumb jerk make a fool of
herself is fun, it's disturbing that people who are barely qualified to run the
high school student council seem to think that they'd make a good president and
it's dismaying that the women taking advantage of Hillary Clinton's 32 million
cracks in the glass ceiling seem to be airheads.

In the meantime, we'll be watching Minnesota with bated breath as the exhausting
ramp-up to 2012 primary season continues into it's twelve zillionth day. We'll
reflect on the enigmatic nature of the Land of 10,000 lakes, a state of
inexplicable contrasts that brought us the awesome Minnesota Twins, but also the
dismal Minnesota Timberwolves, liberal visionaries Paul Wellstone and Al Franken
but also serial dickhead Michele Bachmann, and we'll hope that the rest of the
country also sees through this aggressively stupid politician, who should
probably henceforth be known as the "Mama Loon."

...and she's going to "Take Our Party Back", too.

You see, she wasn't selected to give the rebuttal to President Obama's
"State of the Union" report.

So, in typical batshitlooniness, she's appointed herself to do so -- to
counter BOTH the GOP and Obama.

It's official. The GOP is self-immolating.

Think she'll repeat her "I want my constituents armed and dangerous" threat?

In short, after President Bush's last SOTU, the offical Democratic
response was given by Kathleen Sebelius, then the Governor of
Kansas. But right after then Senator Barack Obama gave his response
to the SOTU on his campaign website.

So, it's right for King Obama to do but wrong for Mrs. Bachman to do?

Liberal hypocrisy, gotta love it.

And how intelligent is Obama really? His plans have failed. The

Being book smart isn't enough. Obama is just stuck in his Keynesian

to be destroyed.

That's what I fear.

Yes, it was right for Obama to do it. He was a declared candidate
for theoffice of President of the United States.

Notice the date: First Posted: 01-28-08

Michele Bachman has no more importance than any other Senator,
and was not chosen by her party to give an official response.

Please keep calling our President "King Obama". I think it's very
nice of you to honor him that way. But I'm sure he'd be the first
to just ask you to sit down and quit stroking yourself.

So in short, your response is "sit down, shut up and OBEY our Tin Horn
Dictator"?

Typical, anything a liberal does is okay, anything a conservative does
is wrong. You libs have mental illnesses like no other.

See that's the problem. To you there is only liberalism. That is
the only reality. You can't understand anyone else who dare thinks
different. I've got you dead to rights, and then you change the
rules. You don't have to like what Mrs. Bachman says or even listen
to her, that's your right. But you can't imped her right to say it.

Yep, it's useless to engage him, although I've tried myself far too many
times.

I've come to accept that he's a turd piñata and no matter how good a blow
you strike w/ the logic stick, it's still shit that's coming out.

The fallacy is believing that one more strike, one more convincing
argument will have any affect. It can't. Reason doesn't affect him
because reason isn't *within* him. Only hate, fear, mental illness and a
lot of denial and projection.

It's merely symptomatic of people who only listen to those who
confirm their own views.

If you don't listen to real news (calling it "MSM"), you're going to
vote for someone like Bachmann.

I believe in those things, too.

Let's start cutting costs, by eliminating frivolous payments to
those who falsely claim they cannot work due to a disability.
Why should we pay the unwilling to not work, when they
certainly can?

What I know is that Clinton handed Bush a country with a $200+B surplus and
Bush, eight years later, when he handed over the country to Obama, did so with a
whopping deficit.

Starting at the top might not be a bad idea either. Do CEOs and upper
management really need billions a year to pay for housing, food, utilities,
going out to dinner once every couple of weeks, a reliable car, etc? 1/4 of
their salaries could do a lot of good for their companies.

And that deficit now? Bush was lousy at spending, I'll give you
that. But Obama is no spending hawk. If anything he's like Bush on
spending on steroids.

To put it simple, what Dr. Obama is doing is treating a cancer patient
by giving him more cancer and thinking it will cure him. NO, MORE
SPENDING WILL KILL US!

Of course they don't need it.

NOW....if the company is successful, I don't mind the high salaries.

But failing companies of any kind, who are paying their execs high
salaries, should be the site of riots.

Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina are prime examples of people who
ruined companies that were growing WITHOUT their help (but they
got credit). I can't remember if Carly got $17 or $35 million to
leave....and we all know Whitman declared herself a billionnaire.

And they wonder why they weren't elected. Duh.

.....and a ruined economy, based on Bush's "ownership society" (that put
all the eggs in the homebuilding and mortgage handbaskets).

The economy's growing, this morning's job outlook says "best in 12 years"

The mortgage crisis was wholly because of banks were forced to lend to

But keep on blaming capitalism. Makes you a commie. I remember a

Ignorance. Incompetence. Utter lack of work ethic. Lack
of reading comprehension. Inability to learn from his own or others errors.
Inability to get along well with others. Stupidity. Pig-headedness. The
list of perfectly valid excuses goes on.

This latest prattle from Mr. Government-supported-NON-socialist is
amazing.

So let me see....Clinton "ordered it" and somehow Dodd and Frank were
behind it?

But it really didn't become a problem until Bush was president?

http://www.thenation.com/article/bushs-house-cards

"IIn this context, it's especially disturbing that the Bush
administration has announced that it is cutting back Section 8 housing
vouchers, which provide rental assistance to low income families, while
easing restrictions on mortgage loans. Low-income families will now be
able to get subsidized mortgage loans through the Federal Housing
Administration that are equal to 103 percent of the purchase price of a
home. Home ownership can sometimes be a ticket to the middle class, but
buying homes at bubble-inflated prices may saddle hundreds of thousands
of poor families with an unmanageable debt burden."

Bush created it - he eliminated a lot of rent help to a group of people
while making it absurdly easy for them to get loans to buy.

Does that make sense? If you can't afford rent, we'll make it easier to
get loans?

That happened under Bush.

But conservatards won't get it. They can't reason. They can't deal with
facts.

You guys should stop posting this off-topic political junk. Palin might

She's not even from my state. There's nothing I can do about her even if
I had heard of her. There are countless nutbags on both sides, I can't
be bothered to care about the ones that are out of my voting district.

Wikipedia says she has something to do with the Tea Party. I view the
Tea Party the same way I viewed Move On.org during the Bush years:
Mostly just whiners angry at the administration with no real solutions
to the issues. They are both loudmouthed, but mostly harmless. Why
obsess over them? If she's as much of a kook as you say, she won't get
nominated.
