Bachmann: Democrats are trying to ‘sabotage’ me because they’re afraid I’ll be the first woman president.
Bachmann: Democrats are trying to ‘sabotage’ me because they’re afraid I’ll be the first woman president.
In a recent interview with WorldNetDaily, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that she would be willing to run for president if God asked her to do it. “When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I’ve said yes to it,” she said. On Mike Gallagher’s radio program yesterday, Bachmann again dropped hints that she might want to run for president, saying that Democrats are attacking her because she’s such a threat:
BACHMANN: Also with women politicians, they want to make sure no women, no woman becomes president before a Democrat woman, and so they’re doing everything they can to, I think, sabotage women like Sarah Palin, perhaps women like myself, or similarly situated women, to make sure that we don’t have a prominent national voice. But the thing is, the people in our country, they don’t care who the voice is, they just want someone, they want to know that someone is speaking out for them against what will certainly bring about the destruction of our great country if we continue to go down the Obama path.

Paranoid much, Crazy Shelly?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:42 pmYou would think so dipshit.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:42 pmHey, Watchblob er TAPEWORM don’t you have a couple dozen double quarter pounders with cheese to choke on while straining your stool guarding those elderly people?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pmA Palin/Bachmann ticket is just what the country needs. It will cause Obama and the Dems to win by a huge landslide.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pmRun, Forest, run! Michele is gaining on your IQ.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pmThere are only two Presidential slots for which Rep. Michele Bachmann would ever qualify:
The “I love Rep. Michele Bachmann Fan Club” and the “GOP hates America Club”.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pmPlease run, Michelle. Please. For the good of the long-suffering comedians, wonks, bloggers, politicos, and anyone who believes that laughter truly is the best medicine…
Run.
I would love to see her on a ticket with Bob Dornan.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pmNote to Michele Bachmann (R-Looneyfarm) :
Never leave home without your tinfoil hat.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:47 pm,
Dear Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN),
Crazy is as crazy does…
… And your crazy has nothing to do with you being a woman.
.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pmMichele Bachmann truly believes what she is saying?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pmWell, if Bachmann runs, we’ll win by an even bigger margin. This women is batshit crazy and can never court the independents with her xenophobic, schizophrenic, egotistical ways.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pmBachmann: Democrats are trying to ‘sabotage’ me because they’re afraid I’ll be the first woman president.
– - Too late, Geena Davis beat you to it, Michele. But your reality TV show is pretty entertaining.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pmBe afraid.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:49 pmBe very afraid.
sarc/off
We don’t have to sabotage her. Just like her idol, Sarah Palin, the fact that she’s dumb as a rock and loves to prove it publicly will do that.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:49 pmPresident of her local XianWitchExorcismDeathPanel, perhaps.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:49 pmNo Michele, as usual you have it all wrong.
1. You are batsh!t crazy.
2. We want to make sure no unqualified, Reichwing, Theocrat becomes Pres.
3. We are doing everything we can to warn people about your batsh!t craziness.
4. We reveal what dangerous, unqualified, simpletons, like Sarah Palin who hate America, and would want to put their insanity on the rest of us.
5. The people in our country, they do care who the voice is, that is why you will never be Pres.
6. And you would certainly bring about the destruction of our great country if we continue to go down the Republican path.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:50 pmIs Shelley getting her ideas from THIS SHELLEY?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:50 pmYa know sometimes Watchdog really comes through with my kind of dry sarcasm. I am definitely voting that one up… I call it the Andy Kauffman syndrome…
September 4th, 2009 at 2:50 pm.
I’m proud to live in a Nation that affords The People the ability to elect ignorance.
.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:50 pmwhat are your qualifications Michelle? the fact that you groped Bush in 2007? is the Repuglican qualification for nomination available by osmosis?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:51 pmHas anyone checked her meds? I mean somebody might have missed her extra dose of Haldol.
Or maybe it was the mushrooms on her steak?!?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:51 pmAw, Michele is giving Dems and progressives and liberals too much credit again. I suppose we should thank her for it, but heck, even we know she does all the heavy lifting on this sabotage thing herself.
I don’t see how she handles sticking that stinky sneaker in her mouth over and over again, every day. She must be doing yoga or pilates.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:52 pm“Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that she would be willing to run for president if God asked her to do it.”
Where have we heard this one before?
Maybe she caught some loathsome illness when she kissed Georgie.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:52 pmHey Michelle,
Remember that stuff about slashing your wrists?
Go ahead, make my day.
Thanks,
God
September 4th, 2009 at 2:52 pmShe would actually be the first alien President.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:53 pmYou can tell she’s a nutty. Take a look at the picture in the OP and take a good look at her eyes. That’s the last thing we need. A therocratic zealot who hates America running for President.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:54 pmTrolls to defend this psycho-biatch in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
September 4th, 2009 at 2:55 pmLet me ask the crazy biotch, not Michelle Maglalang, I mean the other crazy biotch.
Will you run for Prez before or after you slit your wrists?
September 4th, 2009 at 2:56 pmOMG!!
Now THAT’S wishful thinking.

Hey, why shouldn’t the GOP nominate Michelle for president? Go for it Michelle and don’t take no for an answer? I am 110% behind your nomination in 2012 – this you can count on.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:58 pmAmerica couldn’t handle all the kissing and hugging after her State of the Union address.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:58 pmBachmann is wishing for something that will never happen but with Sarah out who knows. Looks like Rush has will have to take a back sit as Republican Leader as wacko Bachmann is putting herself in the top spot. Now Republicans have gone from bad to worse. Bachmann is telling citizens to break the love and even cutting themselves. She has no knowledge of the US Constitution and even has lied openly. She sounds like someone who should be in a metal ward but is allow to run loose. I know there has to be one Republicans with education and a brain. Please if there is one step foward now.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:58 pmIntrepid @#18
Dontcha love the poll on that site:
I’m celebrating this 4th of July because …
… we kicked British butt.
… we are better than others.
… we need to show our pride.
… we might have a Negro president but we are still the same old rulers of the world!
Damn Uppity Negroes for electing one of THEM, as our leader of the rulers of the world club!!
September 4th, 2009 at 2:59 pmThanks for the Lulz Michele! I needed the comic relief.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:59 pm***
if i were an inbred, nose picking
nazi troglodyte i’d post a comment
that read “sounds like a valid argument”.

but i’m not so i can’t.
:)
September 4th, 2009 at 2:59 pmBachmann: “When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I’ve said yes to it,”
Sorry Michelle, that sensation is the feeling of your mental faculties leaking through your undies.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:59 pmWait a minute,… I thought that Michele Bachmann had already been appointed President for Life of the Overly Modest Bugfcuk Whackjobs of the Universe Society. I suppose I could be mistaken. I might have just imagined it since she’d be such an ideal fit for the situation.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:00 pmIf sabotage to her means using her own words and actions to show the world she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal then yes, it is sabotage.
I’ll never forget her school girl crush hold on GWB at a State of the Union speech. Clingly is too nice of a description.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:00 pmIf Bachmann ran, I think I’d have to vote for her for the lulz.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmDelusional? Boy, I can think of a few hundred reasons why I wouldn’t vote for the dingbat, but her being a woman isn’t among them. Honey, you can dress in pants, you can dress in a skirt, you can dress as Superman for all I care–but it is like putting lipstick on a pig. You are still a pig as far as I can see.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmBat sht crazy Bachmann / Beck 2012!
GOPiggies!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmBachmann/Jindal 2012!!!!
wooooohooooo!!!!!
(hey benchdog – lookin’ to get banned again? I can help)
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmYou can tell she’s off her meds.
The Re=Thugs would never let her near that ticket.
It’s funny though – how she’s putting herself in front of Palin like that. Wait til Sarah hears this quote. She’ll get her gun and bag her and field dress her right on the floor of Congress.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmGeorge says – Hehehe, she would make a fineass President, her and Shara with their dominatrix outfits, that stuff makes Dick sweat. She touched me once, made me all…oooouuuh, not like the touch of a man, Jeff Gannon nearly had a cow when he saw that. She knows that she can easily steal the office, heck, I did, twice. Too bad we had to take care of Connell, he was real good at making those voting machines go “Kaching” for republicans, he was going rat us out, so Dick did his dirty work, hehe, Dirty Dick, hehe. But maybe Michele and Shara can invite me and Jeff to a little spanky party sometime, wonder if they have strap-ons…what you think Dick?
Dicks says – I need fresh blood from cute kittens and puppies.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pmHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
OMG, that’s FUNNY!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:02 pm“Bachmann: Democrats are trying to ‘sabotage’ me because they’re afraid I’ll be the first woman president.”
Thanks for posting the pic along with the article, TP. It’s well fitting. What is my comment on today’s posting on the latest from the Queen of Planet Wingnuttia? It’s the same comment as I often say: It’s nothing but psycho talk. Pass the popcorn please….

September 4th, 2009 at 3:03 pmTundra says:
“Agreed, like they could even organize well enough to mount a halfway decent sabatoge effort.”
An eighth-way decent sabotage effort would suffice in this instance.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:04 pmAt most.
And I’m being kind.

Pearls ON swine.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:04 pmI think it’s a problem when people defer their decision making to a higher power. It yields a false sense of security and prevents adequate deliberation. And presumes some absolution for the responsibility for those decisions.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:07 pm1. Watchdog says: Sounds like a valid argument. September 4th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I suppose it would to you, watchie, but you might keep in mind that the rest of us would prefer a little wisdom instead of a lot of crazy in our presidential candidates.
Wisdom is just about the last thing in Michele’s mind.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:07 pmBefore you can say that the dems are sabotaging Bachman because they want the first woman Prez, you need to explain why Hillary didn’t get the slot.
Well that and a whole list of other things too.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pmThanks, Cap’n.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pmShe’s got my vote…for far and away batshit craziest loon in Congress!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pmAnd that’s saying a lot considering the Republican Party’s down to the nuttiest, beligerent, bottom-of-the-barrel nuts these days.
Bachmann is just as crazy as Palin.
If Palin, Bachmann, Jeb or Cheney ever become president I am outta here! Then that will prove that people are just crazy. I thought it was bad when W-ya was re-elected anyone of these would beat that.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:09 pmI hope she moves to texas before it secedes…

The R’s nominating process for 2012 is going to be
“The Craziest Show on Earth”
Can’t wait to see Palin v. Bachmann v. Jindal v. Romney v. whoever-else-they-drag-up-out-of-the-cellar.
They’ll all have the same tired-and-kooky nazi-commie routine when it comes to Pres. Obama bashing,
but what will they be saying about each other???
September 4th, 2009 at 3:09 pmno words can describe the insanity coming out of the GNOP. I hope this idiocy represents the last breath before they all disappear and go away.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:10 pmThe Republican Party is nearing the edge of a cliff and determined to take us all over the edge with them!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:10 pmEverytime I see Bachmann’s madness on display it becomes more apparent to me.
She talks about cutting wrists…sounds like personal sabotage.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:10 pmBachmann/Beck 2012!
Catch the crazytrain express!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:12 pmI just stopped in for a quick look at TP and this is the first thread I view. My holiday weekend is off to a great start! Laughing is good for the soul. Thank you, TP and THANK YOU, Michelle.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:12 pmNot to mention that the Pauliacs will be back at it, and crazier than ever (if Father Time doesn’t catch up to the good Dr. first)
Maybe the Reverend Governor Biblebee will shoot the moon again too, in an attempt to leverage his Fox “celebrity” status.
Bottom line – the R’s are going to be divided more ways than the tip jar at a hippie commune coffee house.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:14 pmTundra says:
“Yeah!
Let’s start a movement “No, Michele in the WhiteHouse”!!
The comma after the “No” creates a minor conundrum for your slogan, don’t you think?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:14 pmPlease elucidate.
Or acknowledge your typo.
Or wait til the keyboard thaws out.
Poor crazy Shelly.
“Everybody’s trying to sabotage me”!
“ME” “ME” “ME”
With her paranoia and personality disorder,
September 4th, 2009 at 3:15 pmshe needs no help with her self destruction.
Since when is shining a spotlight on somebody’s stupidity “sabotaging” them?
Bachmann kind of reminds me of Frank Burns, who once said, “I am only paranoid because everyone is against me.”
September 4th, 2009 at 3:16 pmShelly, those are just your Rice Krispies and they are saying Snap, Crackle, Pop not Run for President.
Back away from the cereal.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:17 pmBachman, “Democrats are trying to sabotage me because they are afraid I will be the first woman President.”
She then followed with “Hey, stop laughing. These are batshit crazy times and who is more batshit crazy than me?”
September 4th, 2009 at 3:17 pmI laughed out loud when I read this headline.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:17 pmMichele should go ahead use some of those great health benefits she gets as a member of Congress, delusions are treatable. But if she wants to battle it out with Palin to be the designated loser in 2012, they could hold off on the heavy sedation for a while.

Tundra, I’m not sure why you got so many down votes. I think you’re absolutely right.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:18 pmThe highlight of the 2012 Republican National Convention will be Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin mudwrestling for the nomination.
Pay-per-view in a certain few red states alone will pay for the convention.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:19 pmTundra, I’m not sure why you got so many down votes. I think you’re absolutely right.
I knew you’d have my back Ralph!
September 4th, 2009 at 3:19 pmSabotage? I thought they were encouraging her? If they aren’t, they should be.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:20 pmIn a recent interview with WorldNetDaily, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that she would be willing to run for president if God asked her to do it.
I hope she thinks to check with Daryll first. I understand the D-man is dialed in to Yahweh’s plan for American politics.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:21 pmLittle Shelley Bachmann (DRT-AU*) is Bailin’ Failin’ Palin on steroids! Her abject ignorance is unparalleled by anything except her over-inflated opinion of herself.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:21 pmmemo to batshit crazy shelly:
president of what? the whack-a-doodle club? ain’t no one gonna vote for your crazy ass, shelly.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pmPlease oh please oh please oh please give us a Bachman/Palin (or even Palin/Bachmann) ticket come 2012.
Please?
Pretty please?
With crazy on top?
I doubt god would ever let me be that happy, but a guy can dream …
September 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pmHow many wackos can there be in one political party? Apparently, it’s not a finite number. Imagine that Bachmann and Palin share some DNA that allows them to think in an outrageously stupid way.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:22 pmStupid bee-yotchie…
Honey, I could care less if a Republican woman becomes President…what I do care about is if a bat!shite insane Republican woman like you or Sarah Palin becomes President.
and really Michelle, no one needs to “sabotage” you or Ma Palin, you both do that pretty well all on your own.
(dear god, please let Palin and Michelle run, pllleeeesssseeee. The crazytrain would be so. much. fun.)
September 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pmShe kind of winds up making the “woman” thing narrower and narrower as she clarifies her statement.
They don’t want “no woman” to win, they don’t want a Republican to win. Why should they? They’re the opposing party for a reason.
But as we all know, she digs her own grave.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pmFunny stuff. I hope she runs for the laughs, but she’d have to be the first female (R) nomination, first. It’s still the party of old white men, but you never know.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pmone would think with the health care insurance batshit crazy bachmann has (thanks to the taxpayers) she’d be able to get help for her paranoia and delusion of grandeur.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:23 pmTundra says:

September 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pm1st half: Stupid … 2nd half: Scary!
I just ran the second half of what she said, ending with “…what will certainly bring about the destruction of our great country if we continue to go down the Obama path.” through my Handy-Dandy BIRD-English translator (BIRD = Bigots In Republican Disguise) and the translation came out as:
“Holy Christ-on-a-cracker! America! Wake UP! Don’t you realize we just elected a NI66ER as President? Quick! Someone get a rope!”
September 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pmwhaaaaaa, the Democrats are picking on me…
September 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pmwhaaaaaaaaaa…..

How long do we think it would be before Michelle and Ma Palin were arguing over who was a better mother and a more “real American”? How long before Ma Michelle would scream “Sarah, God told me you are a HOR! for fornicating before you were married! HOR! UNCLEAN!”

Palin on top, definitely.

I wonder if the Lord called her to fall the lies of the Bush administration into the invasion of Iraq.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pmBefore I really knew who she was, or that she was a actual politician, I used to see her on, let’s say, Larry King. I used to think how darn right crazy she looked.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:32 pmSo if god asked her to run for POTUS she would.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:32 pmAnyone who makes such a ridiculous statement should automatically be disqualified from running for the POTUS.
If you thought Palin got slapped around, then could you imagine how this freak show will be slapped around by dems and the media.
Bachmann: Democrats are trying to ‘sabotage’ me because they’re afraid I’ll be the first woman president.
Ya know, she might have a point. I think the Democrats sabotaged Victoria Jackson’s career for the same reason.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:32 pmShelly is proof that you don’t have to be crazy to be a Republican but it definitely helps to draw attention.
Streaking used to have the same effect.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:33 pmLOL! This nut-job as Presisdent?! I guess we should thank Sarah Palin and McCain. They proved that even the most enept, paranoid idiot can run as Pres. or V.P. This woman thinks very highly of herself doesn’t she? Someone should remind her she barely won re-election.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:35 pmTwo Tundra comments.
Tundra is being cute with the No Michelle crap. Mrs. Obama, the wife of the President of the United States of America is Michelle. I can hear the little shit snickering from here.
As far as pointing out that Dems are piss poor organizers, I too gave a thumb’s up. It’s true. For some reason, we don’t have the sheep mentality and are not as easily manipulated into towing the party line as the Repugs. Probably has something to do with thinking for ourselves and not being obsessed with blind obediance to authority.
And thirdly, I drive a Tundra so would appreciate a change in the screen name please. How does Edsel sound?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:36 pmPerhaps they could have an apple pie bake off, like IronSkull Chefs?
Or a shop off. The RNC hands them each a credit card and turns them loose in the Mall of America. The Victoria Secret segment would draw the mouthbreathers.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:38 pmvictoria jackson’s “career” was killed by the fact that victoria jackson doesn’t have any talent. that and the fact the only reason she was even on SNL was they needed a dumb blonde to be the butt of the jokes and she was it.
Can’t quit laughing! This is her best yet! PLEASE RUN, Michelle!
As a woman, I would love to see a woman become president, but I don’t want crazy to land there, female or otherwise. She has mistaken disdain for whacko-psycho as “threatened.” She would…
I find Michelle Bachman very entertaining, actually, in a twisted way I can’t even explain. She is just so completely nuts. She even has crazy eyes! This is her best work yet. Man, I hope she runs. It would be like one of those “reality” shows.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:40 pmI’m sure glad I have a strong heart, I laughed so hard when I read this I almost fell off the chair. Its just amazing that someone with the brain the size of a flea could dream so high.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:41 pmI know reasonable Republicans (yeah, I know!) who would also be afraid of that, along with a lot of other non-crazy people.
As a former member of the GOP (youthful indiscretion) I sometimes feel sad that this is what the GOP has become.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:42 pmHow can she tell which one of the voices in her head is God?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:47 pmbuffalo nickel, God’s words are flashed in neon.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:49 pmLast season, I was watching and episode of American Idol (captive audience with friends). It was apparently early in the season, because the judges were auditioning pop star wannabees to see who they would send to Hollywood. It was explained to me that this was early in the process.
There were a number of people who auditioned who were lacking any meaningful musical talent in a truly painful way, yet they honestly believed that if they just could go to Hollywood and get on the show, they would win the whole thing. One of the judges usually used the term “reality check” in talking with these people and explaining why they were being turned down.
It occurred to me that Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are just like these starry-eyed people in front of the Idol panel. They believe they have the talent, the skills, the experience, the leadership quality, the wisdom, and the intelligence to be POTUS. And the rest of us see they have none of these things.
But is it better to give them the reality check they obviously need? Or keep them delusional for our continued entertainment?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:51 pmOpposing Rep. Bachmann politically now makes her a victim of sabotage? The deftness with which some are able to attack while claiming victimization by those one is attacking never ceases to amaze.
Memo to Rep. Bachmann: We don’t oppose you (or Ms. Palin) because of fear of a Republican as our first woman President but out of conviction that you would be worse than W so please stop projecting your bigotries onto your critics.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pmSounds like the logic of a high school teenager that is mean to everyone, and when people start to dislike her and call her out for being so mean, she says they’re just “jealous”. Then uses their comments as justification for continuing to be mean, even though she was mean to begin with.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pmHey all…let’s not forget about Katheryn Harris outta Fla. She could be on a ticket also. Or at least AG for one of two.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:04 pm….one of these two.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:05 pmPresident of what? The Moon?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:06 pmI think Crazy Shelley probably honestly believes she could run for president, because she saw how Sarah Palin ran for vice president — and saw that Palin could draw a crowd.
But there’s a difference. Running for veep when your party needs a token woman who “looks right” is pretty easy. The party is completely behind you, will do damage control for all your gaffes, will buy you a wardrobe for campaigning, will provide you lessons in history, civics, foreign policy, economics, and whatever else they think you ought to know, will write all your speeches, will coach you on all your appearances, and will continually tell you how terrific you are.
But running for president is a lot harder. Until you get the nomination, you’re on your own, unless you can put together your own entourage of coaches, marketers, and sycophants.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pmBachmann thinks the presidency is just like the miss universe contest. That’s as far as her thinking can go.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:08 pmOr better yet ole Kathy could be Czar of Elections. That would be the ideal job for her.

September 4th, 2009 at 4:10 pmI think we already have arrived at a “lord of the flies” situation. We have a society not grounded in the rule of law. You have to expect some very strange things are going on right now.
Do we need any further proof that she is insane – she thinks she could be president!!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:15 pmWhat world exists in her head?
Thanks for the clarification, angels81. Makes perfect sense now.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:18 pmNo, Shelly. We are devoted to the end of your political career because it’s dangerous to have lunatics in the U.S. Government. There may be a less qualified lawmaker in this country but I can’t think of one.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:18 pm125. Levi and 95. Ape-Man,
As I remember it, Lord of the Flies disintegrated to the point that they burned the island in a hunt for Ralph, with intention of mounting his head on a pike.
Not too far away from the repub jokes about hunting Obama, is it ?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:21 pmWe can all laugh at this but keep in mind, the Republicans managed to foist both Reagan and GW on us twice.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:21 pmUh Michelle,
September 4th, 2009 at 4:26 pmIm guessing you havent slit your wrists yet. Come on, time’s a wasting!! Chop!Chop!
F. U. B. A. R.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:27 pmoh yeah, that’s the ticket!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:27 pmtrue, GW was a pawn; brainless, but nah, I think she’s just palin (plain) nuts.
If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia! This lady is so far round the bend she can’t even see the curve any more!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:27 pmI have no doubt that America, as a nation, is falling apart. It all comes down to the fact that the rich and powerful are not held accountable to the law, but the poor and meek are.
The Lord of the Flies analogy is spot on and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. The insanity has only just begun.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:32 pmOh please tell me this was really taken from a fall preview of SNL….This woman is delusional and so pathetic.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:39 pmI think it would be great theater to have Bachmann and Palin duke it out for the nomination. Maybe, maybe, maybe they will oil wrestle on TV, and they will accidently kiss, and, and, and……..
September 4th, 2009 at 4:45 pmI certainly understand your trepidation, Levi, but, in keeping with my policy of attempting to be optimistic on Fridays; consider the strengths inherent in our system.
Our country has recovered from wars both foreign and domestic. We have recovered from depressions. We have fought off countless religious/ideological lunatics. We even managed to maintain our identity while recovering from a full-fledged civil war.
The last eight years can compete with any of those things in sheer dysfunction but, there are signs of improvement. I can’t recall who said it but “times of great upset are also times of great opportunity”. I’m not ready to surrender the good ol’ U.S.A. quite yet.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:46 pmWow, she’s not just bat $hit insane, she also has delusions of grandeur. For the life of me I don’t understand why the Republic party doesn’t find this woman an embarrassment.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:48 pmBachmann’s going to be President.
Uh-huh. And some day I’m going to just “fly” out of my wheelchair, wearing a “superman cape” and still wearing the 15 pounds of braces I currently have on my legs!!

Agreed.

September 4th, 2009 at 4:50 pmIt’s quite simple, Bilbo. The kind of mental defectives left in the GOP are the kind who reward people for their ability to maintain a delusion. I think that’s why they look up to preachers. It’s one thing to claim that black is white but the ability to actually Believe it is a rare talent.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:52 pmI’m also eager to see if the GOP somehow manages to back away from the abyss of insanity or just whimpers and dies. Personally, I don’t see how they can recover but it would make great theater. Heck! We may even end up with a viable third, or fourth(?), party.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:57 pmRE: “Please oh please oh please oh please give us a Bachman/Palin (or even Palin/Bachmann) ticket come 2012″
Has anyone noticed that Palin has been quite for the past few weeks? She is supposed to be somewhere writing her book.
Rupert Murdoch’s yacht, the Rosehearty, was docked in Auke Bay, in Juneau, Alaska, on July 17th. His airplane was also both in Juneau, Alaska, at the same time. Wonder why? Just as Sarah was finishing her last days as GINO.
I wonder if Ruphert and or his people were there to pick up the Palins?
Some Alaskans believe that she has been stashed somewhere by Rupert so that she can practice the speech, writted by Rupert syncophants, that she is supposed to deliver in Hong Kong, China, on Sept. 21 – 25.
Sarah Palin is supposed to be the keynote speaker at a forum organized by CLSA, a Hong Kong-based brokerage firm, and will address the company’s clients and delegates. Murdoch and his pals are a big part of the CLSA.
So, I do believe that Murdoch is the reason Palin has been quite. I also believe that Murcoch is trying to prepare Palin for a run at the presidency. She is someone that Murdoch can control just as he controls many politicians and most of the so-called media.
Another thing that I just cannot fathom: Palin has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau and is Palin is sorting through more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances.
What kind of organizations, other that right-wing, be offering more than 1,070 invitation for her to speak?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pmPlease run for president, Michelle.
My wildest dreams will come true!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pmI have one hope for America. If we are able to form a Progressive Party which is virtually all online, we might just be able to remain a cohesive nation. Without a “Cyber Progressive Party” we will continue to be a nation represented by those that choose not to represent the people, but instead the corporations.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:06 pmJust when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier in the GOP.. Sorry Shelly, but I hope your mouth is big enough to fit that giant shoe that you just put in it.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:11 pmThe sad part is that she is one of the saner ones in that party..

Another political party will not fix things. The root of all the problems are traced to the lobbyists. So long as their is money being thrown around DC, the problems will continue. I am in favor of draconian laws to limit lobbyists and campaign contributions.

September 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pmBachmann is playing the gender card that is scaring people from seeing her as a president, while in reality the real problem is Bachmann’s brain.
Another Sarah Palin in disguise.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:33 pmJeebus!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pmShe’s got that St. Cloud Stepford stare, don’t she?
Lights on, nobody home.
True! The internet is the great wild card. Potentially it could be the tool needed to make American Democracy work as intended. Heck! Would any of us realize just how bad Bushco was without it?
It also raises the possibility of new parties and, even better, political movements independent of any party.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:35 pmDefinitely Al Franken in 2016. He’s smart enough, he’s adult enough, and he’s spent thirty years experience handling jokes like Michele Bachmann and Sara Palin.

September 4th, 2009 at 5:52 pm59. Tundra sez:…
I suspect you and I are not talking about the same Michele, Turdna. I’m speaking of Michele Bachmann.
I’m always a tad leery of trolls bearing domain-name gifts.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:08 pmThis is what happens to people when they believe what the hear on Fox News.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:20 pm@79, Ralph sez….
Hi, Ralph, If you go to comment 23 you’ll see where Turdna lifted that italicized sentence. Just his usual plagiarism or ignorance about posting references and credit.
I thought his comment about the state of organization of the left and center-left was perceptive, for a troll; I’m sure that if the DNC was willing to hire an unethical advertising house and flak shop, they could look as organized and vicious as the Rs have the last month or so.
I think noseeum pinned Turdna when he jumped him at comment 68, but I suspect Turdna would also settle for no Michelle Obama in the White House.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:20 pmPags2@148 said,
I agree with you Pags, to a certain extent. Lobbying is just legalized bribery. Our legislators have legalized bribery so corporations can bribe public officials without facing any penalties. It plays directly into my lawless society mantra.
We need to make bribery illegal again, and whack the bribers, and those that accept bribes, so hard that no one will ever offer a bribe again. Essentially, we need to go back to being a nation of laws or there is no hope for America.

As far as pointing out that Dems are piss poor organizers, I too gave a thumb’s up. It’s true. … I concur.
And thirdly, I drive a Tundra so would appreciate a change in the screen name please. How does Edsel sound?
As a Tacoma driver, I almost empathize. I think calling him Edsel demeans an iconic American automotive screwup. I’m refering to him as Turdna, but I think he’ll go along with anything as long as he has someone’s attention.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:33 pmSeptember 4th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Bachmann is too stupid and deluded to realize that not only are the Democrats NOT sabotaging her (anyone quoting her verbatim does that naturally) but that she doesn’t have a chance of ever becoming president. She and Palin have joined forces to set the women’s movement back 100 years. If only this country could elect a QUALIFIED woman for president. Such women have existed or do exist, like Shirley Chisholm and Hillary Clinton. Bachmann must think your main qualfications are looking good and making untrue and/or outrageous statements.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:53 pmDon’t insult pigs. They’re supposed to be intelligent animals, which is more than I can say about Rep. Bachmann.
candide says:
September 4th, 2009 at 6:54 pmDelusional? Boy, I can think of a few hundred reasons why I wouldn’t vote for the dingbat, but her being a woman isn’t among them. Honey, you can dress in pants, you can dress in a skirt, you can dress as Superman for all I care–but it is like putting lipstick on a pig. You are still a pig as far as I can see.
LOL someone needs to tell Bachmann that to be a President you need to have previously held one of four jobs: Senator, Gov, General, or VP.
The American people are not interested in Congress critters especially when their weird.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:08 pmOh, dear Lord, this lying, hateful, racist woman is also INSANE!! But we knew that.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:18 pmHow do people like this foaming-at-the-mouth wacko ever get elected?? She’s not only nuts, she’s stupid & anti-American! Bachmann as the first woman president? Hello 3rd world status for the U.S. She can’t talk intelligently, knows nothing about the Constitution, lies constantly, makes up anything she wants to, looks like a blithering idiot– oh, wait– Bush got in, didn’t he???…..
Or maybe she’ll be Napoleon
September 4th, 2009 at 7:34 pmI absolutely endorse Michelle Bachmann for the GOP candidate for POTUS. God how I endorse her. We’re not going to get the votes from the birthers, flatearthers, tenthers, skinheads, fullmooners, or Etna CEOs anyways. Let the lunacy machine challenge main stream.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:47 pmDepending on the competing candidate, I could conceivably vote for Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins but absolutely no other GOP woman. They’re either insane, racist, or typically (un)compassionate in their conservatism, or all of the above. Moreover, Michele even gives a new meaning to “batshit crazy.”
September 4th, 2009 at 8:07 pmThe person who runs on the GOP ticket is going to be a cross between Dick cheney and chuck norris. I might even be dick cheney and chuck norris.
September 4th, 2009 at 8:17 pmI must disagree, Lora, though I did not give you a down vote. I was raised to be a Republican and I take no joy in the fall of the GOP. However, I can’t imagine voting for anyone who continues to identify themselves as “Republican” or “conservative”. The people who have hijacked the names have corrupted them beyond redemption.
September 4th, 2009 at 8:45 pmYes, Michele, the Lord is calling you. He’s calling you batshit crazy.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:40 pmTo Pete,
September 4th, 2009 at 9:40 pmI had a Republican stepfather, who I am quite sure would not be with the GOP if he were alive today. He might not have gone as far as registering as a Democrat; but since he was a chemist, I know he would be appalled by the current anti-science attitude prevalent among Republicans today, and, as a Teddy Roosevelt-type of conservationist, he would be equally appalled by the lack of concern for the environment. I believe in the two-party system, however the current GOP is not the one my stepfather supported.
To quote WWII General Anthony McAuliffe: “NUTS!”
September 4th, 2009 at 10:05 pmYes, Michi…. GOD hinted that you should run for president. You’re just on hold right now, listening to “Onward Christian Soldiers,” muzak, waiting for God to get back on the phone with you and confirm that you should run.
And yes, Michi…. Democrats see you as ooooo, such an enormous threat. You’re a lying, incompetent air-headed ditz with no more qualification to be president than Sarah Palin.
Perhaps you don’t understand: the sex of the candidate doesn’t matter. It’s what that candidate stands for, and what YOU stand for is bigotry, hatred, corporatism, and fear. Oh, and retrogression. Did I mention retrogression? No healthcare reform whatsoever. La la la la la, there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with our healthcare system, we get the best coverage in the WORLD, la la la. I can’t hear you.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:54 pmThis woman is so batshit crazy she needs to be removed to Cheney’s undisclosed location and kept there.
Please Shelly …run in 2012…PLEASE
September 5th, 2009 at 12:30 amWhat should scare all of us in the US is that there still are pockets of batshit crazy scumbags in Minnesota who will STILL vote for this be-otch.
Gotta suck to be in the suburban Minneapolis demographics!
September 5th, 2009 at 2:41 am…, and so they’re doing everything they can to, I think, sabotage women like Sarah Palin, perhaps women like myself, or similarly situated women, to make sure that we don’t have a prominent national voice.
This is correct. I will do everything I can to sabotage the crazy psycho lady wing of the GOP to see to it that they don’t have a prominent national voice. Because that’s because they’re crazy psychos, not because they’re wimmin. There are a lot of crazy psycho dudes I’d like to see shut up as well.
But if you think that having a vagoo gives you a free pass to loonyville, then you’re the sexist here, not me.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:46 amActually, no one has to denigrate Backmann. She is disgusting all on her own. She only has a passing acquaintance with the4 facts of any issue and she keeps showing just how silly she is.
This woman needs to own up to the fact that all on her own, SHE makes herself look absolutely foolish. It appears that her silliness is NOT tied to any given subject but simply overrides any statement she might make on any given subject. And I am a Republican by the way, although fairly disgusted with the party brand now. We as Republicans need to argue on the merits on any given issue, not cover any comment we make with silliness about what others post. So Michelle, I do not worry one bit about your being President. It is just not going to happen and that is NOT due to how Democrats respond to your supposed run for the Presidency, but it is due to how Republicans are feeling about your run if you ever even make one.
September 5th, 2009 at 2:58 ammari2RR says:

Why don’t you just stop being a Republican? I just want you to know, that it is possible to recover from a lifetime of destructive conservatism. There is help, if you want it.

Don’t make me laugh — her chances of ending up in the White House aren’t half as good as her chances of ending up in one of those white jackets with the wraparound sleeves! Someone needs to remind her that when you talk to God, it’s called prayer — but more often than not, when God talks to you, it’s called schizophrenia.

September 5th, 2009 at 8:20 pmYes, Shelly, they do think you are a threat, but it’s because of your opinions on certain issues, not because you are a woman. You are delusional if you think you can run for president and still win any votes besides the right-wing nutcases who would support you even if you said that the moon was made of cheese or some other stupid statement. However, I really do think a Palin/Bachmann 2012 ticket would be good for the GOP, because not only would they provide hours of amusement between each of their antics, but they will also show the American voters how disconnected they are from “average” people.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:09 pmWell, I am a Republican and I will also actively campaign against Rep. Bachmann as I did against Palin. Who wants the first woman in the presidency or the vice presidency to be a ditz like both of these women are. No thinking Republican would ever support either one of these women. If our party chose one of the Republican female Senators or any one with a brain, we would gladly support them. We are just not for the ditzy kind of woman that will embarrass all women.

September 6th, 2009 at 7:25 amI suppose Michele Bachmann is right about one thing: I wouldn’t want her to become President. I’m not terribly worried about it, but I sure wouldn’t want it to happen.
