I said what she pretended to care about other than Big Corp which covers your list of greivances.

OK. I’m good with that.

“That tells you everything you need to know about the Tea Party: Let the poor ROT while we get richer.”

We should calm ourselves and practice a modicum of tolerance.

Sensible people understand that an example of someone who identifies themselves with the Tea Party is the independent small bakery we visit near our homes.  That family too is not out to harm, steal from or starve anyone either.

Let me see…
Michelle Bachmann in the 4 years she’s been in Congress has taken home in salary, farm subsidies, and her husband’s payments from Medicaid, just about $1.25 million dollars, and every nickel of it was paid for by you and me. In those 4 year you could have fed, clothed and housed 25 families, yet Michelle, of course, thinks SHE is entitled to that money but the neediest aren’t.

That tells you everything you need to know about the Tea Party: Let the poor ROT while we get richer.

I see that paragon of virtue and righteous progressive politics, misogynist, Alec Baldwin, too is afeared of Michele Bachmann.

Liberal thinkers absolutely hate, yes hate, an opposing point of view.  To think and speak differently is intolerable.  Few points of view are despised more than that from a conservative female.  Conservative females are despised nearly as much as black moderate or conservative Americans.

The only thing I don’t like about Bachman is that she’s a self-centered asshole, who prentends to care about anybody other than big Corp.
************
So…you don’t care that she’s against government subsidies to individuals, except farmers, which she claims to be and received a quarter-million subsidy.

So…you don’t care she wants to teach our children fundamentalist Christian dogma instead of science.

So…you don’t care she wants to end all abortions AND all birth control programs that would prevent unwanted pregnancies, and, therefore, abortions.

OK…As long as you think she’s shit for that one thing….which she is.

The only thing I don’t like about Bachman is that she’s a self-centered asshole, who prentends to care about anybody other than big Corp.

JD,
You got a point!  I read that and burst out laughing!
Touche!

(but I still think Bachmann is dangerous—remember, Art Buchwald described Reagan as “an amiable dunce”)

I’m sorry, but I must disagree. Perhaps I can illustrate my point with this theoretical example. Suppose, if you will, that you were listening to a talk radio program, and Michelle were to call in. If you heard her voice before she identified herself, wouldn’t you be thinking, uh oh, here’s another moron?

Furthermore, I believe both of the morons you mention are equally likely to fuck up our nation if given the opportunity.
*******

Well, I can’t disagree with that.

But I’m not so quick to discount Bachmann’s intelligence.  She’s a fool and a dangerous one, but an intelligent person can be a fool or worse.  A moron can’t be intelligent.

Remember: Never underestimate your enemies.  And I think I know which Republicans are opponents…and which are enemies, out to destroy the republic.

“Bachmann scares me far more than Palin. Despite her colossal gaffes, Bachmann is clearly far more intelligent, far better educated, and, most importantly, far more dedicated to fucking up our nation to suit her vision than Palin EVER will be.”

I have some disagreement with your comment here. Just listening to Bachmann speak, and paying no attention to the idiotic things she says, I’d be willing to bet my life that her I.Q. would fall below the 100th percentile, seriously, it’s the way she speaks, the words sound like they are coming from a vacuous void, so if my existential gamble is a safe one, using intelligent and Bachmann in the same sentence can not be justified. Furthermore, I believe both of the morons you mention are equally likely to fuck up our nation if given the opportunity.

Reality check - John Wayne hated politicians, horses
and airports - specifically the Orange County airport
whose flight path was right over his residence (The
‘upheaval’ at his grave site was duly noted the day the
hated airport was named after him.)

Trivia - ever wonder the how or why of Wayne’s peculiar
walk?  His size 8 shoes had to move around a 6’4” body.
That’s why.

Quelle surprise!! That Backmann’s campaign had an ‘awkward’ start. Bachmann’s psychosis is such that she is convinced that she is a competent person, qualified to do/be anything (including Josephine, to an imagined Napoleon). That she is so stupid as to not recognize her ignorance is almost irrelevant, as is the fact that she is so often factually incorrect. Using the words ‘fact’ and ‘reality’ with respect to Bachmann is also irrelevant, her warped psyche creates her own reality, her own facts, divorced as they may be from what rational people perceive.

So there are only two things to remember about Bachmann. She is being trained by some of the GOPers’ best and brightest to sound ‘presidential’. And nothing she says bears any relation to reality and truth, except perhaps by mischance, accidentally.

Oh, there is a third thing. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if she were to become the GOP/TP candidate!?

You make a salient point.  The current U.S. President, apparently, believes there are 57 United States.

I’m no scholar of American history, however, I believe that’s wrong.

”Bachmann scares me far more than Palin.”

-

Of course when you ask this poster quite directly, several times over the course of time, why he’s so very frightened of Palin and Bachmann he will adamantly, even truculently, deny any fear of Palin and Bachmann.

It’s telling that this poster focuses so intently, so vehemently, so ferociously first on Palin and now Bachmann.

-

No, I do not desire Bachmann or Palin for president.  Simply put, I don’t find myself agreeing with either of their respective positions on many issues!

Uncle Zeb up in the Ozarks thinks that Wallace mispoke when he called
Ms. Bachmann a “flake”. The right word he states emphatically should have
been “freak”.

But then what with Pat Robertson claiming that God will destroy America
because New York passed a law making it legal for same sex individuals to
marry and Michelle Bachmann claiming that Arbraham’s curse will befall
the US if it stops being Israel’s only ally and Herman Cain promising to
only hire gays in his administration may be its ” Howdee doodee time in
America”.

Our disengaged, culturally and history challenged
nation, deserve President Bachmann. The end of all
empires was plagued by increasingly inept rulers. Why
should we be any different?

Bachmann scares me far more than Palin. Despite her colossal gaffes, Bachmann is clearly far more intelligent, far better educated, and, most importantly, far more dedicated to fucking up our nation to suit her vision than Palin EVER will be.

How many terms has Bachmann served? Palin quit after serving only 2 years as governor of Alaska.
Bachmann has a law degree.  Palin went to 6 schools before she finally got a “slide” degree.

Bachmann’s a true fanatic.  Palin’s chasing the money.

Bachmann’s rising.  Stick a fork in Palin: she’s done and her 15 minutes are just about over.

In fact they have almost nothing in common other than the superficial:  They are both attractive women with insanely far right views.

So she’s a moron, so what? The other front runner believes in Magic underwear.

What’s important is that she looks good, she’s Christian, she’s dreaded by progressives,
and she’s running against big government. Big government is code word for, running
against progressives Because as everyone on the right understands, progressives are
for big government, higher taxes, and redistribution of wealth.

The Republican party should have died off during the first great depression, but here it
is.  Now they’ve done it again.

You just can’t make this shit up; when Palin and/or
Bachmann speak, both fact and history go on permanent
vacation…

I don’t know why you call this ‘awkward’. I can see the attraction of the narcissistic psychopathic amorality of a serial killer to Bachman and indeed the entire Republican/Tea Party mess. And anyone who ever saw ‘The Green Berets’ knows that John Wayne had the same kind of amorality going for him in that godawful propaganda movie. Both the John Wayne’s are an inspiration for those who would ban abortion and abolish income taxes and take America back to the thirties - or even further than that: back to the 19th century preferably. There are legal ways to be serial killers, you know.
