Michelle Bachman is one crazy person
By Nicole Belle Tuesday Mar 18, 2008 5:50pmI try pretty hard to not be judgmental and to try to look at things from different perspectives to understand where a person is coming from. I've tried that with Michelle Bachman (R-MN06) too, but I'm sorry, she's just nuts. There's no two ways about it. Keep in mind that this is the same person who couldn't keep her paws off Bush after the State of the Union last year. And then there was her statement that Americans like working two jobs. Maybe that should have tipped me off.
But Bachman is not done speaking out and MN Publius has the highlights:
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann just put a face and a name to the GOP base’s unhappiness with the Republican nominee for President. Referring to John McCain, Bachmann told the West Sherburne Tribune:
“He is not my man,” she said. “Our candidate was chosen by the media. But there are other races out there.” [..]
Uh no, Bachman, he was chosen by the voters, despite the right wing media talking him down. However, it is true the MSM loves them some McCain. But since there's nary an original thought in your head, I'd have thought you'd be good with McSame, seeing as he's running as Bush 2.0.
On global warming:
“The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It’s all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax,” Bachmann said.
And on Iraq:
“What our service men and women have accomplished over there has been nothing short of astounding,” she said “Though you never hear about it in the media. God has not abandoned us.“
But wait, there's more. Earlier this week, Bachman wrote an op-ed for the Star-Tribune blaming the Democrats for standing in the way of American safety. Why? For not passing the PAA with telecom immunity, of course.
Bob Olson is Bachman's Democratic challenger for the MN06. Bachman's war chest is significantly higher than Olson's, so if you can help, wouldn't it be a blessing to flip this seat to a Democrat?

John McCain is unfit for command.
He surrendered once to the Viet Cong and became a POW.
He'll surrender us again.
What a bonehead.
Like all Republicans, she needs to spend less time making crazy stuff up and more investigating reality.
But when the media laps up your lies, why bother?
Jeezzz, I wouldn't want to live in the area that supports her. She's sounds like she's completely unglued. Damned stupid frightening woman. I thought the media tried to make Rudy the candidate of the republicans. McCain was all they had left in the end.
I do live in the district 6 and did not vote for her the last time, voted for Patti Wetterling. The woman is a goof. There was an illegal immigrant who was driving a car, crashed into a bus, and killed 4 children. Congresswoman Bachmann made the comment that if the licenses had been in Spanish and signs were in Spanish, this may have prevented the accident. Hello!! She was an illegal immigrant. What part of this do you not understand!! She has no idea what she is talking about. This is a woman who has 5 children and took in like 15 to 20 foster children. Now, if I believe this to be true, don't you get money from the State for taking in foster children (or the County). Then, she has the nerve to cut back children's programs and insurance. She is not in the real world.
She also commented that the ANWR preserves don't need protection because 'they're under snow and it's dark most of the year', because this somehow nullifies their being pristine wilderness. Of course, she can't see any reason for pristine wilderness beyond looking at it. Probably because she has no understanding of biology or ecology, as evidenced by her comments on evolution and global warming.
The sane people in sixth district vote like hell against her, but we've got a bunch of nutjobs that were put into the district in the last gerrymandering excersize. It's an embarassment to have her in office.
Bachman to Bush sounds like Lewinsky to Clinton. Unfortunately, if Bush had affairs with this woman, there will likely be no impeachment and go largely unreported in the media.
True. The best we can hope for is that no offspring would result from the affair. The future of this country is at stake.
You are an idiot. Your comment is stupid and only highlights what a deficient, damaged idiot you are.
She's a rapture nut.
She says some unbelivable things. But the Rapture is real and I pray that you are ready.
Well when is it coming already? If it is going to rid the earth of entities like Bachman and Palin, I am anticipating its arrival.
I can't wait for the rapture to be rid of these rightwing nuts...
Yeah...then all that will be left is you left wing nuts. Enjoy.
At least it will peaceful.
"What our service men and women have accomplished" !!!
She should have a leg blown off and thrown on the pile of anonymous Iraqi corpses, just her small addition to the "accomplishments".
Anyone who thinks war is an accomplishment is a murderer at heart.
People who sell God are con artists, in this case, she's a neo-con artist.
Yawn.
Conservatvies need to play a new tune....I've heard this one a zillion times. Global warming: hoax....MSM: evil...US military: beyond reproach....liberals: scum.
Did I miss anything?
There's only one 'l' in Michele Bachman.
Just a note.
Just like it's namesake, Bachman, that spelling is incorrect. Most with that name use two "ls".Doesn't matter how she spells it she is one brick shy a load!
If we found out that bush had gotten a bj in the white house, this woman would be my first suspect.
So voodoo is a hoax. Way to go after that Haitian vote!
Only as much of a hoaz as every other religion is.
... so in other words, yeah, a hoax.
But global warming, unlike the beleif in angels telling you to run for office, is supported by evidence and logic.
Reasonstein @ 4:
bush is too busy screwin Americans to be interested in a Bach man.
pissed off patricia @ 9:
My first suspect would be Rove.
She is a freshman Representative, replacing Mark Kennedy in the 2006 election.
So she is already making her record shine like gold(en turds).
She could have drawn the same conclusion with a hammer.
She tried to push Intelligent Design though when she was a school board member, and then denied it later.
Yes, cry out to a Holy God, while endorsing the slaughter of innocent women and children in Iraq. So this is a primary Islamofascist boob, and helping remove her (she only got in because two opponents split the ticket, that and the votefraud) would be an EXCELLENT effort.
Wow, what an embarrassment. Her comments on Iraq notwithstanding, who could read that comment about global warming and not cringe? Um, there is this crazy little things called scientific proof, but if that wont work, you can step out your fucking front door in July sometime, or Google yourself up a picture of some melting glaciers.
To say "global warming" is anything other than factual, man made or not, shows an incredible ignorance.
Obviously Minnesota voters didnt know what they were voting for, she must have kept her mouth shut when running for Congress. Now shes opened it and removed all doubt
Ew...she's into chimps. Kinky.
Al Qaeda waited until a Republican half wit was in the White House to attack us, why? Bin Laden wants to bankrupt America. What better time to attack then when incompetent war profiteers are running the country who could be counted on to gin up the terror threat, real and imagined, while trashing US military power, shattering US world prestige, eroding the US dollar and generally looting the Treasury aka Kenny Boy at ENRON. Bush, Bachman and their supporters have been a boon to Islamic radicalism and a disaster for America, Bush, Bachman and their ilk are a threat to our way of life.
bat shit nuts...
I think this is as good a thread as any to make another use of my post from one of the McCain threads below. Only a few changes are called for:
Dear (insert moron politician/spokeswhore name here),
Dude (or B*tch). Please shut up. You are becoming an embarrassment. We’ve already had almost 8 years worth of that and our image really cannot take much more. Many of your countrymen are drinking heavily and having thoughts of suicide as a result of being governed by idiots like yourself (or those you serve). And these people aren’t even Democrats - they are the moderate Republicans.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
The American People
Why we wasting our time gossiping about this mush brained woman?
We need to be going after Kissinger, Baker, et. al, and the NWO Bush Cabalists.
stonicus @ 10:
Lots of Haitians in the MN-6. But she's polling really well among Hobbits, so that balances it out.
Hopefully, she will go on vacation in Aruba.
L.A. Confidential @ 19:
Are they up for reelection this year? No, they are not.
please oh please help us here in the 6th district! There are way too many voters who will vote for anything with an R by its name. Example: Michele Bachmann
"wouldn’t it be a blessing to flip this seat to a Democrat?"
No way that's happening. I used to work in the district that she represents in Minnesota, and trust me when I say that the majority of people there are just as bat-shit insane as she is. My boss (who lives in the area) once asked a client who's brother had died of AIDS how she felt about the fact that he was going to spend eternity in hell.
Luckily I lived in the district of Minneapolis that got to vote for Keith Ellison. Very rarely have I felt proud to vote for someone that actually won.
---Tom
Who in the hell votes all these wack-jobs into office? Are there really that many f-ing stupid people out there? I know it's a rhetorical, but thinking about it is really depressing.
Yes! I have been thinking the same way. I often find myself wishing that the wackos could be sent to another planet. They can elect one of their own kind into office or choose a dictator. They can wage all of the wars they want to. They can wait for the "Rapture" and condemn anything that is not in line with their hypocrite mentality. They can pollute their atmposphere and kill off the wildlife, all the while denying that it is happening. They can force a young girl that was raped by a relative to have the child and in doing so they will be able to proliferate more idiots into their already idiotic population.
They can corrupt every facet of whatever form of government they set up, be it Fascist or otherwise. They can steal from each other, they can lie to each other and they can even eat their young...just get them the hell out of here already!
Paul in LA @ 22:
These guys don't need an election. McCain is their next puppet. He's been in the Middle East playing Commander In Chief in training.
March 19 (Bloomberg) -- Starbucks Corp. Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said the U.S. economy is in a ``tailspin'' and the coffee-shop chain will offer discounts and new drinks to lure back customers.

What's next for Ms. Bachman? "American's LOVE living in tent cities instead of their old homes because American's are natural lovers of the outdoors."
odanny @ 14:
She did not. She had two challengers, and the off-party one took 8% of the vote from Patty Wetterling the Democrat.
So that's the margin, 23,000 votes. She's not going to look so hot at the end of this brutal economic year.
Not to worry Michelle, he's not my man either.
She's a real candy cane, when it comes to far right money:
If you know even half of those 'donors,' you are a troll. :-)
I'd still do her..
somebody has done her too much, no brains left!!
She's also the consolation prize, since the former Rep in her seat, Mark Kennedy (R), decided to run for the U.S. Senate, and lost.
Spock @ 32:
Yeah, she's kinda hot in a batshit-crazy-kinda-hot MILF way.
Kinda a niche hot.
The people who put her over the edge in that particular district are affluent white professional suburban fundamentalists who have reaped the benefits of Bush at the national level and Gov Pawlenty at the state level--tax relief for the rich at the expense of big cities and any kind of social service program, including gutting the parks, the libraries, police and rescue services, public education, higher education, and any kind of aid to the vulnerable or less fortunate. It's my hope that the incredible rage that a lot of folks have right now about this state of affairs will get people off their whining asses to vote.
She's got the kinda face I'd like to take to the chimp cage at the zoo and let them fling something at it.
"God has not abandoned us"?
She wouldn't know God if it kicked her in her ungodly ass.
"G0d has not abandoned us.“
leave me out of this.
This bimbo looks a heckuva lot like Katherine Harris, doesn't she? And the similaritits don't stop there either.
John Barringer @ 38:
OOPS! "similarities! That really was a mistake. Honest!
perfect reflection of the people she represents. only in america. no wonder we are in such a mess. wonder what they will do to her when the revolution begins.
She's not crazy - she's bat-shit crazy.
She's the kind of representative - that if for whatever reason - a challenge doesn't unseat her - the entire country regrets it for the next two years.
Minnesota!! PLEASE do something about this idiot!
*
she is a religious nut and I hope she gets her ass kicked in the next election.
If we are going to bash McCain, let's try to get it right. He didn't surrender to the Viet Cong. He was shot down in North Vietnam (Viet Cong were in South Vietnam), whereupon a bunch of farmers beat him up and turned him over to North Vietnamese soldiers.
Additional thought: When you are shot down, you aren't surrendering, you are involuntarily falling out of the sky. It's a gravity thing.
I read somewhere that he crashed 3 planes. Not a very good pilot. You can probably fact check that. Hell, if some jerk was dropping Napalm on me and mine, I'd sure as s--t shoot them out of the sky too.
Ummm yea... given the leadin paragraph and what I've read about this 'person' (probably not my first choice of discriptive term) on this thread... yep she is one crazy... ahh person....JD
Michele Bachman is definitely perched within an inch of the insanity ledge but what about the people that voted for her? MN06 has got to be one hell of a psycho outpost.
I'm really hoping that Al Franken wins, and that this schizoid, idiotic cardboard Republican cutout loses. But she may barely have to try. In my district we have sent a Repuke to Congress for 90 years (none as stupid as this woman) and it wont change this year, I'm almost certain. The Democrats can barely find anyone willing to challenge the seat, bringing an old television news anchor out of thye woodwork to get a likely thrashing on election day.
odanny @ 46:
Franken is running for Senator. This is a Representative.
phlounder @ 45:
Half of it, maybe. She won by a tiny margin (a third-party spoiler put her in).
1st- If the Republicans are so dumb, incompetent, and/or weak that they let the media choose their candidate, we can only assume they're dumb enough, incompetent enough, and/or weak enough to let Al Queda choose their foreign and homeland security policies.
2nd- If that's what this obvious idiot thinks about global warming, we should be very afraid of the coming environmental catastrophe. However, like all the other politicians who agree with her statement on GW, it is 100% based on desire to be showered w/ cash and ego pleasing perks from the fossil fuel energy companies.
3rd- Re: her Star-Tribune op-ed- quoting her:
"The No. 1 job of the American government is to protect her citizens. House Democratic leaders, in forcing the expiration of the FISA updates, have shirked that most fundamental responsibility -- the safety of the American people."
Further proof she's an idiot, she has absolutely NO idea what her job priorities are, No. 1- "support and defend the Constitition". There is NOTHING in the Congressional oath of office about protecting citizens, it's first and foremost about the Constitution. It requires her to oppose any parts of FISA that violate the Constitution.
`I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.''The No. 1 job of the American government is to protect her citizens. House Democratic leaders, in forcing the expiration of the FISA updates, have shirked that most fundamental responsibility -- the safety of the American people.
I live in Minnesota and i just can't believe that People in her District 06 could be that stupid,that is until i went there and found out they are!
Mitchell Bachman is one crazy person.....oh my goodness are you just finding that out....
PS she was voted in from the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. JUST WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Now you know what kind of people live there.
A correction to this story:
Bob Olson is NOT the candidate running against Bachmann.
Elwyn Tinklenberg is going to be the DFL nominee to take on Michele Bachmann.
Right now there is a significant rift in the Democratic Party in the 6th District after the contest between Olson and Tinklenberg.
thetide @ 50:
Two words: Jesse Ventura.
If a liberal said that John Edwards didn't succeed because of the mainstream media, would you describe that liberal as "one crazy person"?
Political Muse @ 53:
Elwyn Tinklenberg? Didn't he play Herbie, the Elf who wanted to be a dentist, in Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer?
Not only does Ms. Bachman need to go but in MN's district 7 (my home district), we are represented with wolf in sheep's clothing. Collin Peterson is a DINO and needs to be replaced with someone less likely to toe the corporate party line. His sole saving grace of late is that he voted with the Dems to not give the telecomms immunity.
John Barringer @ 39:
heh, heh... similaritits.

Tim in Japan @ 57:
That's not enough. That was a total caucus vote, and he would have taken HUGE losses politically in the caucus had he gone it alone.
As you might imagine, we keep a close eye on the contributions that come in through our website. This afternoon we got a sudden spike of contributions from all over the country and it's all thanks to Bachmann.
It's no surprise that when Bachmann gets covered on Crooks and Liars, Bob gets contributions.
Thanks to all those who have contributed, as well as those who will.

Marge @ 52:
Dear Marge,
Bachmann is crazy and a horror, but how dare you besmirch Minneapolis/St.Paul.
Minneapolis sent the FIRST Muslim to congress (can you get more progressive?)
Saint Paul's congresswoman is the esteemed Betty McCollum who gets in by a landslide every time(can you get more progressive?)
Saint Paul elected Mee Moua to the State House of Reps as the FIRST Hmong elected to state office in the contry (can you get more progressive?)
Now marge, you know what kind of people live here!
TRex @ 8:
One "l" -- and no brain.
Marge @ 52:
Not quite. She represents a district from the Twin Cities suburbs, but she was most certainly NOT voted in by the people of St. Paul (4th district) or Minneapolis (5th district).
Minnesota has its share of kooks on both sides of the aisle, but Bachman takes the cake. She was a theocratic nuisance in the state senate, and if she isn't nipped in the bud, will likely be the next Marilyn Musgrave. Her homophobia and general batshit insanity are legend.
As has already been pointed out, Olsen isn't the candidate. Tinklenberg will be. He will be an improvement, just as anyone would be an improvement over Bush, but isn't a committed progressive.
Another thing to remember is that unlike most of the US, third party candidates sometimes win and often get significant vote totals in Minnesota. It's unlikely, however, that there will be any competition for the wingnut vote, which gives Bachman an automatic leg up for November.
i don't know about her third quote on iraq but the first two are straight from Limbaugh and it is a good example of why progressives and esp. the Dem candidates or party leadership need to provide a site with daily searchable transcripts of the main talkers.
these so called republican 'representatives' need to be tied to the talking points machines that create them and without which they couldn't function.
But, but the repugs in MN are so proud of this air head. Doesn't matter that she talks crap out her back side...they know she toes the line for her dream boat, the monkey.
This is sad, but I'm coming to the rock solid conclusion that repugs have no conscience. They simply want more repugs in Washington. Doesn't matter how God awful stupid they might be.
WTFHITOMGHTHDTH?
If anyone translates this, they get a platter of cookies. ;)
As for this: another wingnut who wouldn't last a minute on the street for the cause she so fervently believes. As I said of Obama's pastor in the other thread: How many Brownshirts has Miss Bachman? If the answer is what I think it is, why worry? They talk tough but they lack the balls (especially the men on the Right) to bring it out. Your average fat, pimply, cheetos-loving rightist would piss his pants at a street brawl. I ain't worried.
The contest isn't over, yet, but Tinklenberg is definitely running ahead of Bob Olson, much to my regret. I went for Olson at the Sherburne County Convention last week, but Tinklenberg has more delegates for the party endorsement. If you check his website, you will not see that he is an anti-choice prospective Bush Dog-type, which, I suppose, is a positive for being elected in this district.
God may not have abandoned us, but I bet S/He is pretty pissed.
Wow. Who heard her comments on Chris Matthews show?? He was shocked. I don't think he is going to let her back on the show. Claiming that congress needs to be investigated for anti-american/un-american activities. She is insane. She is what we fear most in this country. Watch the show and then check out pat buchannan's follow up commentary. He has trouble answering for this nut. And she is nuts. This is the crazy thing about the new (last 8 years) Republicans. They are figure heads with fascit pigs backing them up. UGH.... Geoff
This B^^ch needs too GO!!!!
I just heard this women on Chris Mathews she spewed this crap about Obama and William Ayers he explained this over and over and we do not have the time too put up with anymore of this Fascist hate get this women out of Office Minnesota.
Is this woman for real!!! She associates all liberals with anti-americanism and identifies herself as the female Joe McCarthy of the 21st century. Liberalism is not subversive nor is right of center views Fascism.
She is a total nut. Let's hope the people of Minnesota wise up and vote her out of office before she sprews her gospel of hate around the world.
Did everyone see Congresswoman Michele Bachman on Hardball today? YOU MUST WATCH IT!!! Literally, the most frightening thing I've EVER seen in my entire lifetime! Are we witnessing a new era of McCarthyism? She actually referred to liberals as "anti-American" and called for an investigation of Congress to search for and root out anti-American elected officials.
Add this to Sarah Palin's incendiary comments that Obama "pals around with terrorists" and the McCain Campaign's new robo calls claiming that Obama "worked closely" with a terrorist whose radical group "killed Americans" and you have a recipe for the next great American witch hunt and a call to violence against Obama and his fellow Democrats.
This is very dangerous rhetoric coming out of the Republican Party!!! Every American should study McCarthyism and read the Crucilble TODAY!
This **** is a out of her fucking mind. Did anyone hear her on hardball today? This bitch needs to be ran not only out of congree but out of our country. Unamerican whore
I Watched this MORON on Hardball with Chris Matthews and I almost threw up. HOW can this person call herself American ? What the hell is wrong with the people of her District in MN ?? Is this the best they can do ? She would have fitted in so well during the McCarthy RED SCARE years. THIS moron thinks it is AMERICAN to call anyone who disagrees with REPUBLICANS , terrorists and anti American.
Let me give the people of her district some advice.
BE EMBARASSED NO LONGE. DUMP THIS BITCH IN TWO WEEKS> YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY DO WORSE. SHE IS A MORON.
But this person is Bat Shit Fuckin Crazy.
Her eyes. I've been watching her for awhile now.
Her eyes pulse. Like something I've never seen before.
She's lolo.
I still think she's bat shit fuckin crazy.
Strangest eyes I've ever see. They Pulse.
this whole neocon movement needs to be boxed up and dropped into the deep end of the ocean, hopefully Jan. 20 it will be.
I am Michelle Bachman's Tailor and I want you to know that not all of her 'White Sheets' have eye holes in them. She has one she uses only on Halloween that has her whole blotchy face exposed. She scares the living daylights out of the little kids in the neighborhood. Hell, she scares the hell out of me just looking at her. What's with them weird eyes of her's? She on drugs or what? First time I saw her on Larry King I thought she was a guy with long hair. Then I realized she was just a typical fascist hater related to Pat Buchannan and his twin brothers Bay Buchannan and Joe Scarborough Buchannan. I just wish the 4 of them would crawl back under their slimy rocks.
Does anyone believe that radical associations don't matter? Does anyone think that Bill Ayers is a patriotic American? Can anyone honestly say that Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not anti-American? These are the people that Barry Obama has chosen to associate with. What about Father Michael Pfleger, Tony Rezko and ACORN? You are known by the company you keep.
I think it is very appropriate for Michele Bachmann to question these radical associations. The media will not raise any of these questions. The media us in the tank for Obama (Chris Matthews says that Obama gives him a thrill down his leg).
Ms. Bachmann was correct in voting against the bailout package. Ms. Bachmann is correct to say that global warming is a hoax. Can any of you doubters explain how the last ice age ended without the aid of greenhouse gases? Ms. Bachmann knows we need to drill for oil. Ms. Bachman is in favor of lower taxes. Ms. Bachmann has an 11-point lead and every patriotic American should be happy about this.
THIS woman is a mean spirited fucking bitch...
ITS people like her...that say they are pro america...that actually cause hate and fear..
I never wish anyone bad..
BUT honestly..
They need to get this woman out of the race...
ANY one that votes for this creeply lieing woman...need thier head examined...
wow, this botox-injected teeth-whitened lady makes me upset. she must be so unhappy and insecure in her life that she probably thinks to be a messenger of God. I wish people like that questioned their blind beliefs once in their lives. I wish she learned about the world and got out of her cocoon called Minnesota. She reminds me of a homosexual priest that preaches that homosexuality is a sin while fondling little boys. She's as fake inside as she looks from outside.
her limited mind makes me not want to live in the same country with people like her.
it's a sad day on planet earth that people who come to power are lacking any kind of wisdom...
The woman is beyond crazy and is a lunatic fanatic. On Friday past in an interview with Chris Matthews on Hardball, she insinuated that there are Democrats in the Congress that are un-American and that the media should be doing some investigative reporting about this.
This woman has spouted off comments that could be certainly labelled as racist in the past few months and now she's questioning the patriotism of fellow congress people because they might not agree with her extreme right wing views. She should resign at once; hopefully the voters will throw her disgusting ass out of office.
WHAT A ****!!!!!!
{ Deleted, Please do not post in all Caps or in all bold lettering. It's yelling. Thank You. SiteMonitor}
Sometimes she appears on local right wing talk radios. Guess what? After you listen to her for a few minutes, the usually vile talk radio hosts sound moderate. She is strangely over the top extreme politician.
liberal=socialist=fascist=anti American. She is correct.
Barak "Barry" Hussein Obamski is therefore anti American. Hey, let's spread the wealth! You first, Barry.
She is one scary woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks like a deer in headlights
Dazed and confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read the Rolling Stones article before you get up-in-arms. It includes interviews with fellow POWs and Service Personnel. It also questions McCain's peculiar attitudes towards MIA personnel left behind in Vietnam, and his refusal to vote in favour of several items of legislation which would support Veterans.
What you read may not be to your liking - but it does record factual information.
I don't get it. I am almost embarrassed to have so-called fellow 'Americans' (or at least they claim to be) that are such cowards. [Deleted-Sitemonitor]
What is wrong with what she said? I totally agree with her. Crooks and liars this is called? Where's Schumer, Frank, Clinton, Obama, Biden, Dodd, Kennedy, Kilpatrick, Blogo, Sharp James, Boxer, Pelosi, Reid-the list goes on and on of corrupt democrats and you are insulting a woman who actually had the spine to tell the truth about liberals being ANIT-AMERICAN? How much more evidence do you need that liberals are just that? How come liberals never serve their country? Never live anywhere but the cities? Get degrees in useless studies? (philosophy-womans studies- white guilt-art) They are morons who think they're intellectual and intelligent. They're neither.
You can be pro-choice, never go to church, not own a gun and went to public schools as a kid on welfare, be in a union and STILL NEVER VOTE FOR A CORRUPT PARTY LIKE DEMOCRATS. I am one of them. I am a conservative and believe we need more true conservatives to run the country. I disagree with Palin on abortion. BIG DEAL- she would have never signed these last 2 bills and would have bitchslapped Pelosi unlike that coward radical Obama. Her abortion beliefs would never be law so At least we are trying to weed out the RINOS that act like democrats (because they're idiots) What are democrats doing? To clean up that party...you would have to get rid of everyone in it except for Heath Schuler. The only ONE left.[Don't blogwhore. And don't come here and call people who post here names-Sitemonitor]
[Check the date on this thread, Einstein. Can't get deader than almost a year old...]
the fact that Bachmann got re-elected is the strongest argument for anarchism I have ever known.
Nicole
I think you better reconsider the meaning of "crazy." Michelle is a common sense person who loves her country. She is one of the few in Washington who dares challenge the current "president" over his outlandish, foolish policies. She's one of the few who's blowing the whistle on ACORN, which will be receiving over 8 billion dollars (or is 800) if Obama gets his way. As a former Minnesotan, I must say that I wish all of the politicians back there were as dedicated to this country as she is. Maybe it's time for you to get that day job back, Nicole.
Michelle Bachman is one of the few in Washington standing up to the would be (could be) dictator, Obama. As a former Minnesotan, I only wish that moer had her guts and concern in the state. Seems to me that this website should be devoted to revealing the lies and corruption of the current DC occupant.
There's a book titled "The Biggest Secret" by Davi Icke. I haven't read it yet, but I intend to. It is a bit far fetched, but it might explain the insanity in our Government and these far right Neocon nut jobs. Google it.
From time to time History Internation runs their Secret Society special and if I remember correctly they reference David Icke and his book. Amazon has it in paperback for $19.77 Next time I'm at Barnes & Noble or Borders I'll check it out. Sounds interesting.
BTW, I forgot to mention that Michelle Bachman believes that the whole universe is only 6,000 years old including earth and that dinosaurs lived with man but, the EVIL Sarah Palin killed them all off from a helicopter with a .50 cal. machine gun and that all the planets, moons, stars and galaxies were actually made in one day and then God rested. Oh and she thinks GollyGeeW is God. This woman is from freaksville!!!
THe main thing though is Minnesota should vote this quack out of office and send her to the funny farm. Maybe she and that other goofball, Sarah Palin, can share a stall in the barn together. At least you folks from Minnesota don't have to live with the fact that GollyGeeW came from down here in Texas. What the hell did we do to deserve him?
Got it...!!!!!!!!!!!
So what you are telling us is that everyone who played with or against O.J. Simpson during his days at USC and with the Buffalo Bills is to now be considered a wife killer?!? Yeah right...! And anyone who has ever come into contact with GollyGeeW Bushie is an Idiot and a mass murderer? Yeah right...! Well maybe you are right about Little General Bushie...Dick Chinie Chin Chin became a mass murderer as well. And so did ol' Rummie. And I once saw David Duke on tv so I must be a member of the Klan. And I was at the Atlanta Olympics so I must be a mad abortion and city park bomber. Well hell, I'be been in the woods many times, sometimes for days at a time so I must be like that nuttie fruitcake Olympic bomber who hid in the woods in the Blue Ridge mountains. And wow, I've been within a foot or two of muslims so I must be a suicide bomber. After all I've probably seen Osama Bin Laden picture on tv, the internet or in the fast dying print media, at least 100 times. Yep, I'm a bomber. I even know a couple Catholic priest so does that make me a child molesting pervert? I don't think so. You are as goofy as Michelle Bachman.
As to global warming, it is obvious she has never been to Beijing, Houston, LA, and all the other cities that are becoming choked off because of various emissions. Not that that is the main cause of global warming, it is a part of the problem because when the last ice age happened there were what a half million people on the planet and now there are billions of people along with billions of autos, trucks, boats, ships, trains, planes, manufacturing plants, and on and on and on. But yes, the Sun is probably the major cause. We have 4.5 billion years of evidence at how important as well as dangerous the Sun is to Earth.
As to "Ms. Bachmann knows we need to drill for oil. Ms. Bachman is in favor of lower taxes. Ms. Bachmann has an 11-point lead and every patriotic American should be happy about this." ---- Obama has no problem using the 68 million acres the oil companies have leased being drilled on and in. Tell the oil companies to get their asses in gear. And while they are at it they'll need to build a bunch more refineries since we don't presently have the capacity to refine more oil. We haven't built a new refinery in about 25 or so years. Obama & Biden want to start utilizing all forms of energy, not just oil. McNasty jumped on Obama's 'lower taxes' bandwagon, just like McAngry has used all of Obama's plans when he sees millions of Americans take to Obama's ideas. McTooDamnOld needs to come up with something original. McBushie's stuff is just that...stuffy! And an emphatic NO, every patriotic American should not be happy with the Bachman bitch's goofy ideas. She should be run out of Congress as being UN-American!!!!!
This fruitcake from Minnesota homeschools her children and is or has taught them such things as the Universe (planet Earth included of course) is 6,000 years old as compared to the actual age of Earth (4.5 +/- billion years) and the Universe (13.7 +/- billion years).
She voted against legislation that would allow Medicare to negotiate for lower pharmaceutical prices and against legislation to raise the federal minimum wage.
This wacko went to Oral Roberts University which describes itself as a charismatic university, founded in the fires of evangelism and upon the unchanging precepts of the Bible, built in accord with God’s commission to Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts who said he saw a 10 story Jesus outside his office window. The same Oral Roberts whose son was forced to leave the university as president in disgrace. You talk about associations, anyone connected to Oral Roberts University is nuttier than a 3 headed donkey.
Sorry but, I've seen this woman on Larry King several times and on Hardball this past Friday and she is nothing more than a fascist wacko reminding one of the days of Joe McCarthy and McCarthyism. No, it is Michelle Bachman who should be investigated. She is every bit as stupid as this wacky Sarah Palin, who has an IQ of about 60. She thinks only certain parts of America are Patriotic. Hell, Sarah and her first idiot hubbie, wanted Alaska to break away from America. The good news is come November 4th, we won't have to listen to either's bs anymore. America will send Sarah & the 1st Dudette packing back to Alaska. Hopefully the good people of Minnesota will send Bachman packing so she can continue to teach her children the garbage she has been teaching them. I have yet to see any of the radical, funDUMBmental, evangelical religious, extreme right-wing, Republican neo-cons pick up a book about science, history or war, much less read one. Her kids should get one hell of an education. Good luck to them ever getting a job.
BTW, one of Michelle's evil associations was with Republican Crime Boss, Karl 'BowlingBallHead' Rove, who helped raise money for her. That guy should be on Death Row in some Federal prison. Or how about her association with pastor Mark Hammond, who is in trouble with the IRS for violation of US Tax Law 501(c)(3).
Besides voting against raising the Minimum Wage while voting for pay raises for herself., she wants to privatize Social Security (how stupid is that as we've seen the past two weeks).
Something tells me that on Monday she is going to be about as popular as Senator John McSarcastic is going to be when he returns to the Senate on Nov. 5, 2008 after all the crap he's said about his fellow Senators. But, more importantly, I think the good people of Minnesota will have a new Representative on Nov. 5 as well. I hear that after her appearance on Hardball her opponent has raised over $600,000.00 because of her stupid remarks to Chris Matthews.
The long post of mine was in reply to "Does anyne believe"
it just won't work here in America. Have you not seen all of the polls as of today? We are starting to look at a huge Obama/Biden landslide on Nov. 4th. People like you and Michelle, who do not like America, should make plans to move to Iran? Cuba? Libya? Syria? If you need monetary help with your plane ticket let the RNC know because they have pulled all ads and funding for Michelle 'Fascist' Bachman and have given $150,000.00 to the Joke (Sarah 'Fargo' Palin) so the hypocritical 'soccer mom' could buy a few outfits to wear when she decides to actually answer questions from reporters.....LOL. Yes, both women are political jokes!!!
Oh yeah, best of luck in your new Mother Country!
ditto
At least he's started with himself - and it's all in public records.
Barak Hussein Obama paid 34% taxes on the joint family income of $4.1 million, and has publicly stated that he should pay more.
Cindy McCain (worth $100 million+) paid 26% on personal higher income of $4.2 million (only kept $60,000 per week, but presumably gets a big discount for keeping John in comfort).
McCain paid 21% on the $400,000+ pocket money he earned (i.e. he only got to keep $6,320 per week).
Is she dating? Can we hook up?
Paul in LA @ 47:
Gee, you'd think I know that, since I've actually contributed to his campaign.
Thanks for stating the obvious anyway
Olson for Congress @ 61:
Good luck, that woman is in need of help, as is anyone voting for her.
How this psychotic, sanctimonious twit got elected in the state that Walter Mondale, Hubert Humphrey, and Paul Wellstone were from is hard to understand. I lived in the Twin Cities for four years and thought it was relatively progressive there. But I guess I can't speak for those folks in St. Paul (sorry Garrison Keillor, I know there are exceptions).
She need to get out of office ASAP or the next thing you know she'll be speaking in tongues about the end times and rolling in the aisle.
Correction---St. Paul is not in her district. My apology to the fine folks there but you people up there around Anoka need to get a clue, please.
I live in Anoka.Hey we"re the state that elected Jesse There are diffinatly alot wingnuts here who just parrot Rush.I"ts mostly a blue collar district but its like all of america, people dont know they are voteing against there best interests when they vote for the fascists.America is ripe for takeing, and the fascists did there best.But will not prevail.Bachman hung her self on hard ball Tinklinberg has recieved over 600,000 dollars in contributions since than.congress will stay blue.This will be a big win for America,When Obama wins we have fairness on the airwaves( radio) reinstated.Lets Here it for Change.I cant wait to here the bells ringing ding dong the wicked witch is dead.
Reasonstein @ 4:
Any guesses as to what her sex scandal will be? There has to be some kind of bizarre freak show in her private life to make these kind of idiotic statements.
Michelle B. apparently has the "HOT's" for ol' Bushie Boy. I think it was last year's State of the Union speech where she went up and practically raped him. She is typical of the Holier Than Thou crowd who live in public by one standard and after they step down from the evangelical pulpit we find out they are doing drugs or having affairs or molesting children or some such thing. All I know is she has weird eyes...like she's on some kind of drug(s). Her face and neck has many times been blotchy when she's on tv. I don't know but, she should get out of the limelight because she is a disaster when in public! As someone else mentioned Michelle Bachman does remind one of that hack Florida Attorney General Katherine Harris, who also had the "HOT's" for the Bushie Boys. Where is she now? Probably trying to buy some of Tammy Faye Baker's makeup supplies. Does the Republican party have some kind of machine that just spits these women out whenever they need a new goofball? Are they all trying to be the new Bay Buchannan? Sheeeesh!!!
Is Bay a woman? I always thought it was Pat in drag.Like Anne Coultier, she has an Adams apple.Its actually Fred Thompsons boy.
Come to think about it Bay does have more of a male voice and old Pat sounds like some high pitched screaming parrot! I think Pat has the hots for Sarah. He can't stop gushing over her. Them Buchanan's sure are strange people. I know a lot of people who actually stopped watching MSNBC because Pat is on every program. There has to be 2 of him (Bay???) because the guy is on 24 hours a day. I switch to CNN when Pat starts to scream. He must be hard of hearing for him to constantly scream into his mic.
After watching Hardball today and now Larry King tonight, I am totally convinced that both were actually born on another planet, the one called Ignoramus, making both Idiots from Ignoramus. If anyone has a YouTube on Pat's childish antics on today's Hardball (Tuesday 10-21-08) show, please post the link. CNN & FOX's Fixed Noise Channel don't want Pat so why in the world does MSNBC. Doesn't anyone there get it? I guess Pat's son, the radical, right-wing, Florida redneck, Joe Scarborough, must provide enough wacky humor that MSNBC thinks it is worth the loss in the weekly ratings. Pat is killing the ratings of all the MSNBC political shows he comes on. Pat should be the sidekick for either Rush Limpbrain or Sean Hypocrite's KKK radio shows.
Paul in LA @ 60:
Paul, believe me, I'm not giving him a pass (or a vote), but considering how often he has sided with the bush administration, I was pleasantly surprised that he voted the way he did on this.
I'm also sure that he was pleasantly surprised to not receive, yet another email from me, begging him to do what's right (I'm pretty sure I'm a pain in his ass. I email him often with requests and with questions as to his rationale).
Thanks for the update on this race. Have contributed to Olson. Hope it helps.
For the scoop on Michele Bachmann check out the Dump Bachmann blog:
http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com
Okay [sighs]. As a committed Minnesota progressive and employee of the Empresses Club, I'm raising my hand to do what is right for America. I hereby offer my services in the endeavor to "Spitzer" this woman before the election. My going rate is $5,500/hr. Hardly out of this woman's price range.
Tim in Japan @ 78 "Paul, believe me, I'm not giving him a pass (or a vote), but considering how often he has sided with the bush administration, I was pleasantly surprised that he voted the way he did on this."
I'm sure you can find pork in the bill with his name on it.
"I email him often with requests and with questions as to his rationale)."
He's your Representative, and they do have to keep running for your vote. Even a broken clock can be forced to be right from time to time.
And here I thought that southwestern Ohio had cornered the market on insane Republican Representatives (Jean Schmidthead, anyone?). Looks like we are just going to have to work harder.
She is right about one thing. God has not abandoned us.
Problem is , we have abandoned God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more people in her district get to know Michele Bachmann, the less they like her. Bachmann represented the city of Stillwater in the State Senate for 6 years and pushed her whack agenda there too. But when she ran for Congress, she lost in her hometown of Stillwater. She lost in her own precinct. She only won her district with 50.3% of the vote, so she hardly has a mandate even in this, the most conservative district in Minnesota.

She's on her fourth Chief of Staff, every-single-one of her top staff have turned over and are on at least the second person now (in about just one year). All but maybe one of her DC staff have all turned over at least once and I see she is looking for yet another new DC staffer on conservativejobs.com. The people closest to her, keep going away. Anybody care to draw conclusions about the common thread there?!
thetide @ 50:
Hey! Not all of us are that bat-shit crazy! Mrs. Marcus Bachman won with 50.1% of the vote last time. But, yeah, that 50.1% contains some really stupid people! Problem is, they vote in droves.
Beware the power of stupid people in large numbers!
Elwyn Tinklenberg is going to be the democratic endorsed candidate that will run against Bachman so please start sending dollars his way! Don't believe me? Read the most recent blog post about the CD6 DFL endorsement race and the links in the comments too.
Please update your post to reflect Elwyn Tinklenberg as our amazing democratic candidate from MN-06!
A Katherine Harris wannabe.
I'm ashamed to say that I live in MN-06. Some of her antics were documented before the election, and this was a district that was targeted by both the DNC and RNC. Millions spent for a House seat (yikes!). Bachmann ran on things that many rural folks in this area like to hear - particularly on the issue of abortion. Her opponent, Patty Wetterling, is a well-known local activist for children but her name recognition cost her a little.
Essentially Bachmann ran a "quiet" campaign and the voters weren't really exposed to her quirks. She continues to get good support up here, as painful as it seems. Her record speaks for itself - unwilling to actually do things to help her district (including a recent declaration to eschew earmarks - thanks for your help getting us much needed federal projects, Rep. Bachmann!).
Among other quicks are her subservient relationship with her husband, her statement that she's a "fool for God", calling us the "workingest" people in the US, willing to take on a 3rd job to help pay the bills, and of course, sticking her tongue down Bush's throat.
I live here, am registered, and have yet to receive one mailing from the local Dems. Come on folks, get your act together - MN-06 (and AMERICA!) can't afford to have this "fool" in office any longer!
Let's not forget her other bits of craziness:
1) She hid out in the bushes at a gay rights rally in the Twin Cities and was photographed doing so. She made up some cock-and-bull story about fixing her heel but she's insanely focused on denying gays equal rights.
2) She told some wild tale about being held hostage in the ladies room by some political enemy (no time to track these details down, but Google Michele Bachman and batshit crazy behavior and it should all come right up).
3) Her church believes that the Pope is the Anti-Christ.
4) She claimed after her election to have knowledge of a secret plan to divide Iraq into parts, 3, I think, and has never been called to explain or document it.
Joe Biden's plan was to divide Iraq into three parts. Do you follow politics at all?
{ Wow! Your courage debating people who have been gone for MONTHS is astounding. Almost as astounding as your ignorance. SiteMonitor}
She's a hit with the ex-urban megachurch crowd. This guy even campaigned for her. But for some reason, when right wingers get help from a "pastor," the IRS seems strangely unconcerned.
