First off I need to go on record and say that after hearing her Harball comments I immediately sent a donation to her opponent. And yes, I’m from out of state. And yes, I’m from California. And yes… I live in San Francisco. Oh, and I’m a Republican.

Regardless of one’s political affiliation it is incomprehensible to me that a candidate would not only call into question their opponent’s ‘American-ness’ but would call for a McCarthy-esque pogrom by the media. THAT is un-American. That is NOT what this country is about. That is why I sent in my contribution.

I have absolute faith that the people of Minnesota will do the right thing. The decent thing.

Good luck you you all from a fellow American.

PVI from Cook Political Report for Minnesota:

Minnesota 1st R+1
Minnesota 2nd R+3
Minnesota 3rd R+1
Minnesota 4th D+13
Minnesota 5th D+21
Minnesota 6th R+5
Minnesota 7th R+6
Minnesota 8th D+4

The 6th may have the most vocal conservatives in the state, but the 7th is ranked as more conservative, despite electing a DFL representative.

Hello from an American living in Australia. I’m apalled at Bachmann’s vile comments, and I urge to good people of Minnesota to reject this kind of McCarthyism and chuck Michelle onto the street where she belongs.

I’m grateful to live in an age when I don’t have to take a candidate’s attempts at denial and obsfucation at face value: I can watch the video, listen to the candidate in her own words, and draw my own conclusions. Voters are a whole lot smarter than people like Michelle Bachmann give them credit for being: they know that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck — or in this case, a jackass. May her God judge her harshly for her hatefulness.

I sat transfixed watching Chris Matthews interview Ms. Bachman, thinking with each question “Surely she won’t go there. Will she?” We all know she went “there” as easily as water flows downhill. I could clearly see where the questions were leading and found Ms. Bachman’s responses stunning and alarming. So alarming that at the conclusion of the interview I researched both Ms. Bachman and Mr. Tinklenberg. As a resident of Ohio I had no knowledge of Minnesota political races. At the conclusion of my reserach I felt compelled to contribute to Mr. Tinklenberg’s campaign, even though I am a resident of Ohio. Ms. Bachman is not just a threat to the good citizens of Minnesota, but a threat to all American citizens.

Well Michele has morphed from a horses ass to a gift horse for Tinklenberg and now is a dark horse who will loose the election -LOL!!!
Her Bachpology made her look like a stepford wife who has no clue on what to do except watch in horror that the public has finally seen the real Michele who despite making numerous stupid un-intelligent comments got a pass from the press.
Now her constituents have woken up and realized what a nut case they elected. I door knocked a lot in Delano last weekend and did not find 1 person who would admit that they would vote for the nut case. I did find lots of die hard republicans who will vote the republican race in all races EXCEPT her race – they are voting Tinklenberg on that one. Several female republicans were very angry that “this bitch” dares to lie about her appearance. They are done with her.
Oh well Michele can soon file for unemployement and also join the many in Wright County in forclosure when she no longer can afford to pay for her new 1.3 million dollar castle. Ding Dong the Witch is Dead will be a great song to sing on November 5th. Munchkin land will be liberated by the voters.
I seriously hope she keeps making stupid comments on TV. She has helped the deomocrats like no other republican. Her political career is toast. She needs to go on Hardball again.
It is common knowledge that after talking for 3 minutes, she will shoot herself in the foot. Instead of using a gun, this time she used a nuclear bomb. Ha-ha-ha.
