Bachmann OutPosted on Jan 4, 2012
The contest for the Republican presidential nomination just got a little less kooky with the subtraction of Michele Bachmann from the mix. On Wednesday, after the previous night’s Iowa caucus results found Mitt Romney in the top spot, the Minnesota congresswoman and staunch anti-socialist announced she was bowing out of the race. Guess Sarah Palin called it after all. —KA

Good riddance!
One less ugly, senseless member of the miserable gang of office-seekers calling themselves conservatives. It seems to me that conservatism is a convenient smokescreen to hide bigotry, racism, religious fanaticism and the power of money peddling.
However, my comment above should not be perceived as considering Democrats the beautiful guys who are worthy to run America. Both Democrats and Republicans are two faces of the same worthless coin that represents American political tyranny. Only a multiparty system stripped of the influence of money-buying votes will have a chance to salvage what’s left of America before it’s too late!

God chose Bachman to step aside as America is blessed because of its support for Israel.

Heard her this morn. She mentioned “Obama-care” 11
times - in fact, other than an occasional “socialist”
thrown in, it comprised most all of her speech.
I’m guessing, but I suspect Obama-care will cut into

entire Republican slate, to a person, is running for
reasons of self-aggrandizement (monetary or otherwise)
and nothing else.

Michelle… you didn’t “decide to step aside”... you were SHOVED aside.
Why?
Because even the batshit crazy idiot republicans in Iowa thought that you were too
BATSHIT CRAZY even for them… and the evangelicals that you pandered to want
you back in the KITCHEN and not the White House.
Not to worry.. my guess is that Rupert Murdoch is already in touch with your agent
offering you a new show o Fox… the “PALEN / BACHMANN MUD-WRESTLING
HOUR” already slated to follow Hannity.
Either that, or she will become the next Aimee Semple McPherson.
