Michele Bachmann, come on down!
[S]he opposes the stimulus because we’re “running out of rich people in this country.”
Ahhh. I guess she had all her investments with Allen Stanford and/or Bernie Madoff. Still, this was a tough choice to make. However, her only competition was — herself. Take a sample of some of her other comments:
* ACORN is “under federal indictment for voter fraud,” but the stimulus bill nevertheless gives ACORN “$5 billion.” [Not true, by the way — ACORN isn’t under any federal indictment and doesn’t get a dime under the Stimulus bill.]
[M]any members of Congress have “a real aversion to capitalism.” [Because the Communist Party controls Congress, naturally.]
Poor Michele. It’s tough to be the most moronic Republican in Congress, but I think she has the title belt nailed to her waist for the foreseeable future.
Hey, Bachmann has a masters degree in mendacity. She cooly got two lies in one sentence. She’s so efficient.
I just wonder how the fuck she survived her election campaign. Tinklenberg got an enormous show of support from the left and lost. It’s depressing.
It puzzles me how we fight blatant lies, when MSM accepts them without challenging them.
It’s amazing that the Republicans are now trying to take credit for local STim projects that they voted against.
I always keep a spare rich person in my freezer, just in case there isn’t enough.
You’re not a Hitchcock fan are you?
People like you are the reason we’re running out of rich people in this country!
Hoarders!
Worked for William Jefferson…
Just remember, the skin and liver will kill you.
Well, if you take the converse, she has a point. We surely not running out of poor people! That’s just the problem. She only talks to and for the rich. There aren’t enough of them to swing elections, except in very small gated communities, which is what she represents.
Trying to figure out the mentality of those who voted for her I come to the conclusion, at least in her district, that house plants are now eligible to vote.
She is from my home town, graduated from Anoka High School long after I had left. The more right wing folks from Anoka to St.Cloud, like dittoheads everywhere, prefer lies told in the dominionist viewpoint to mere facts.
I think that, absent a press that actually does its job, what we really need is a legal fund to jump down these people’s throats when they commit slander and libel. Bachman’s statements about ACORN are actionable and should be the subject of a suit.
And yes, Bachman would probably retract them if it got down to it, but the point would be to generate negative publicity for her and to get the word out to at least part of the public that heard her statements that they were false.
And further, I realize that a sustained campaign of legal action would force the Republicans to resort to the “some people” approach, but then they’re vulnerable to demands for specifics.
The republican party shouldn’t even be involved in politics. They’re too incompetent. For thirty years now, the US has been under conservative fiscal policy with Ronald Reagan’s Trickle Down theory of economics.
For the last eight years, the republican party has had total control in the US. They had control of all three branches of our govenment-they even had control of most of the state legislatures including the majority of the governorships. Still, they succeeded only in bringing the country to its knees.
Conservative politics just don’t work. They’d be better off (and so would the rest of the world, for that matter) forming a book club. Sewing Circles can be fun and educational. Anything but politics.
Her home turf looks extremely ripe for redistricting. But you have to admire the GOP for somehow managing to herd MN’s idiots into one very squiggly corral.
