| Considering that liberals are calling her a bitch (And here I thought they found that word offensive. Guess that's another of their double standards. ), she's looking mighty appealing. The ones that the liberals start fussing about are usually the good ones. The moment a liberal starts liking a "conservative," then I begin to worry. The left throwing a hissy fit over a conservative candidate is always exciting. While not my first pick, I could definitely go for Bachmann! 1st female president? Sounds like a good idea to me. O's screwed up the country enough. I say Bachmann is a worthy choice! Again, not my first pick. But out of those likely to actually get the nomination, I think I'd be happiest with her, at this time. (So many good ones to choose from, though. Onward! ) | |

| oh yeah, she's a good 'un all right. - Quote :
- BACHMANN WARNED ‘THE LION KING’ WAS GAY PROPAGANDA: At the November 2004 EdWatch National Education Conference, Bachmann said the “normalization” of homosexuality would lead to “desensitization”: “Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.”
BACHMANN CLAIMED ABOLISHING THE MINIMUM WAGE WOULD CREATE JOBS: While testifying in front of the Minnesota Senate in 2005, Bachmann said, “Literally, if we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.” This isn’t remotely true. Even simply reducing the minimum wage would, as Paul Krugman noted, “at best do nothing for employment; more likely it would actually be contractionary.”
BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT SCIENTISTS ARE SUPPORTERS OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN: During a 2006 debate, Bachmann said, “There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.” This was, and is, not true.
BACHMANN CLAIMED TERRI SCHIAVO WAS ‘HEALTHY’: Not long after Terri Schiavo died, Bachmann said she would have voted for the Palm Sunday Compromise because Schiavo “was healthy. She had brain damage — there was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill.” An autopsy found that Schiavo had suffered irreversible brain damage and her brain, said the medical examiner, was “profoundly atrophied.”
BACHMANN LIKENED VISITING IRAQ TO VISITING MALL OF AMERICA: In 2007, Bachmann returned from a junket to Iraq and told her colleagues, “[T]here’s a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it’s on that proportion. There’s marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water everywhere.” As ThinkProgress documented at the time, the comparison was preposterous.
BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT CARBON DIOXIDE IS ‘HARMLESS’: In 2008, a Stanford scientist revealed “direct links” between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and “increases in human mortality” — globally, he found that as many as “20,000 air-pollution-related deaths per year per degree Celsius may be due to this greenhouse gas.” The next year, Bachmann, who is not a scientist, said that “carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.”
BACHMANN CALLED FOR A CONGRESSIONAL WITCH HUNT: Pivoting off the news of Barack Obama’s alleged relationship to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, and his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bachmann accused the candidate of having “anti-American views.” She then suggested that Congressional liberals — including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid — ought to be subject to “an exposé” by the media because of their views. “I think people would love to see like that,” she told a stunned Chris Matthews.
BACHMANN SUGGESTED GAY SINGER SHOULD REPENT AFTER GETTING CANCER: Bachmann saw Melissa Etheridge’s cancer as a teachable moment: “Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers,” she said in November 2004. “This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian.”
BACHMANN BOASTED ABOUT BREAKING THE LAW: In advance of the 2010 national Census, Bachmann told The Washington Times that she would break the law by not completing the forms. “I know for my family, the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home,” she said. “We won’t be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn’t require any information beyond that.”
BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT GLENN BECK COULD SOLVE THE DEBT CRISIS: During a February trip to South Carolina, Bachmann told a South Carolina audience, “I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this [the national debt].”

- ''(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.''
''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''
“But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”
''[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that 2,000 years ago.''
''And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it.''
''It is horrific to know that in the African American community, 50 percent of all African American pregnancies in the United States end in abortion, 50 percent. That is a genocide of African Americans of the United States. It should not be. There are Americans all across this country who would love to adopt African American babies, but they can't because 50 percent of all African American pregnancies today are ending in abortion.''
''If we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.''
''Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.''
''I don't know where they're going to get all this money because we're running out of rich people in this country.''
''This is an earthquake issue. This will change our state forever. Because the immediate consequence, if gay marriage goes through, is that K-12 little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal, natural and perhaps they should try it.''
''I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence.''
“Lady Liberty and Sarah Palin are lit by the same torch.”
“The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. Its all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”
“Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth's lifecycle. And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in Earth.”

- Michele Bachmann wants lightbulb freedom
Warning: Energy Efficient Light Bulbs Are an Oppressive Tyranny Silly me. I never realized light bulbs were such a threat to the liberty of Real Americans. Luckily for us, we have patriots like Bachmann to draft the “Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act,” saving us from the tyranny of restricted lighting choices. In her document, she wrote: “The government has no business telling an individual what kind of light bulb to buy. In 2007, Congress overstepped its bounds by mandating that only ‘energy efficient’ light bulbs may be sold after January 1, 2012. This mandate has sweeping effects on American families and businesses and needs serious consideration before taking effect.” I don’t know about you, but I feel much freer from sweeping effects. Don’t you?
Locating the Battle of Lexington & Concord — In the Wrong State Someone get this woman map. No seriously — In a gaffe practically anyone could make (who had never looked at a map), Bachmann told a New Hampshire crowd that “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.” Of course, the battle of Lexington and Concord happened one state away in Massachusetts, but that didn’t stop Bachmann from repeating the same historical inaccuracy several times thereafter. When she finally admitted her mistake a few days later, she did a very Palin-eqsue thing and blamed the “lamestream” media for magnifying her error in anti-Conservative, “double standard” fashion. Way to take responsibility for your own actions, Michele. Definitely presidential material.

| Sorry CeCe, fail to make Bachmann look unappealing to those not already hopelessly left wing. (And that's even assuming those quotes are to be accepted in the spinned context they're given. Some of them clearly seem manipulated and/or told from a leftist POV. ) Besides, given the president's penchant for saying stupid things, Bachmann would need to say a lot worse to look dumber than him. (Maybe she can be his escort to the 58th state or help him tear up some more people he doesn't like. ) So yeah, Bachman's still good for those not hopelessly left. It's going to be fun to watch liberals turn her into a conservative idol by going after her. Sarah Palin would be old news by now if it weren't for the media obsession with her. if they give Bachmann half the treatment they gave her, they might just be the ones who end up winning her the White House. | |

| She's part of the Republican circus brigade. She won't become the nominee, which is too bad because if she did, Obama's reelection would be even more of a slam dunk. | |

| HAHAHA! You guys are great. I love how people forget that America is about freedom to be who you are and believe what you want. I hate when politicians speak their minds, while putting down the thoughts and ideas of others---whose same thoughts and freedoms are also protected by the constitution.
If you are anti-gay: dont sleep with a homosexual. If you are antisemtic: dont become jewish If you are anti-abortion: dont have an abortion If you are anti-black/hispanic/asian: dont marry one or give birth to one
But please remember that other people who do not have your POV will be gay, jew, must be another color (they dont have a choice), and are legally within their rights to have an abortion if they feel they need to
And even in USA you have the right to be stupid and have people laugh at you! | |

Just don't cross the border into other peoples business. It seems so easy to understand but they have problems with it. Bless their hearts. | |
