Bachmann joins Paulsen on GOP’s most-vulnerable-incumbents list

hahaha.
hahahahahahaha.

HAHAHAHAAHAHA.
can’t. stop. laughing.

Bachmann is an idiot and ANYONE who would vote for her is an IDIOT too. Bachman looks and acts like she is on some serious drugs, look at her eyes, they look like they are about to RUN out of her head. It also looks like in the pics I have seen she is losing some serious weight, these are ALL signs of drug abuse. Bachman is a nutcase, and should NEVER hold ANY political power in local, state or federal government positions.

People of Minnesota, lose this crackpot!

Bachmann’s election makes me wonder: How dumb are the people in her district?

As a Minnesotan, I can only say that she gets re-elected by the other religious nuts who overwhelm her district. The rest of the state is embarassed that she “represents” us.

I’ll send every dime I can afford to the democrat who runs against her next year! I’m sick of this woman and her hate speech!

As usual, like most liberal comments, Mr. Stevens’ comments deal with emotion and not any stated facts. I could state “Mr. Stevens an idiot”, but without facts, like his, it falls flat. Please deal with facts sir, and not pictures. I guess it’s not ok to be naturally thin. Having seen her many times in person, she’s always been that thin. Oh, and watching her constituents loosing jobs because of a failing economy and President, I’d loose weight over stress not drugs. Oh and Mr. Stevens, I don’t live in her District, but would vote for her because I agree with her policies, and dedication to her voters, and doing what’s right for Minnesota and this great country. So I guess I’m an idiot too.

Mmmmm…Suzanne How’s that “Hope and Change” working out for you?

Bachmann is in danger because she’s batshit insane. Not to be a “concern troll or anything, but the GOP would do itself a favor, not to mention save itself a ton of cash, by cutting off some of its more suspect members. They’re not getting a majority in 2010 anyway, and the sooner they lose their public image as a party of nutjobs, racists and Objectivists, the better for them.

good riddance to bad rubbish.

ok Burnsville, are you gonna do this again, vote for this NUTJOB! Lose her cause the entire country is laughing at you!
I refuse to buy anything in her district, and I’m calling the businesses in her district and telling them, just that!

Murray Ludwig…you are an idiot too!

Murray Ludwig Suzanne’s comments apply to you too..You are dumber than a bag of rocks.

Ludwig, your “feelings” on this politician are as empty as any of the other comments. It isn’t a fact that her policies are good. It isn’t a fact that she is dedicated to her voters. These are your opinions, your feeling on the situation. How is that any different from any of the other comments? The fact is, a failing economy can’t be blamed on one man, neither Bush nor Obama. The fact is that she is one small voice in an incredibly shrinking minority. You may not be an idiot but your blinders are keeping you from seeing the picture clearly.

So, Murray, making your district and your state look like a bunch of lunatics is “doing what’s right for Minnesota and this great country?” Let me give you a clue from someone who has never even been to Minnesota–Michelle Bachmann is doing for Minnesota’s image what Sarah Palin has done for Alaska’s image, which is to reveal to an astounded nation just how utterly stupid some voters can be in these two states.

And for the record: Obama has been in office for barely half a year. Bush was in office for eight. Obama hasn’t even had time to fail, while Bush’s record of incompetence, abuse of power, and unmitigated arrogance is unmistakeably clear.

“Mmmmm…Suzanne How’s that “Hope and Change” working out for you?”

Ludwig, at the very least, try to be original. That line has been the flavor of the month for trolls.

Murray, if you can declare that Obama has failed because the whole economy hasn’t turned around after five months in office then it’s obvious you hold George W. Bush totally and fully responsible for an attack on America eight months after he took office.

Right, Murray?

Murray?

I agree with Murray’s final sentence.

Mr. Ludwig should do a search on the many recorded comments by Michelle Bachmann. That way, he can see and hear the wing nut, idiotic comments that come out of her mouth. Directly. She is or should be an embarrassment to her constituency and her state.

Michelle Bachmann must have some incredibly fascinating discussions and debates…..with the voices in her head. Perhaps she should run for President….of the Tin Foil Hat Society.

Hey, Murray:

The “Hope and Change” is working very well, thank you. Especially for those of us *not* from cut from the “Instant Gratification” cloth.

See, we adults in the crowd known that change takes time, and that fixing the massive eight-years of destruction that Obama was handed from people JUST LIKE YOU will be more than a six-month task to repair.

Hey, Murray! Your bus is leaving!

Idiot.

Murray you may not be an “idiot” but if you would vote for this bigot and hate monger, you must be one as well. I agree you shouldn’t call her crazy just because she looks and ticks like a lunatic, but her actions and words have proved to the country she is a nut. She is neither a patriot or a good American, she would investigate everyone and make them take loyalty oaths..sounds like the beginnings of national socialism (the nazi movement which is nothing like socialism but is fascism) in Germany before World War II. This woman is a joke, she just spews out the worst extreme right wing propaganda that is out there, she does no fact checking and feels she shouldn’t be held accountable for the malicious things she says. If the people of Minn. have any class they will vote this joke out in 2010. I know I will support the dem. or indpendent that can win against her. Then I won’t have to hear her hateful speech anymore. I will admit she was amusing at first, but it is time to move past her horrible style of politics.

Murray Ludwig, if you would honestly vote for Michelle Bachman on the merits of her arguments, then you are correct. You do have mental illness. Do you like her photo ops with her pink machine gun? She makes off the wall accusations that are fact checked and proven wrong by the largest non partisan organizations in the country but facts never bother Michelle. She’s right back out with the lies the next day. If religion drives her and draws you, then I wonder what religion it is, because her comments are certainly not reflective of what Jesus taught or said. I live in Michigan. We have the distinction of having the highest unemployment in the country, but we still elect people to federal offices who are intelligent and well reasoned—see Carl Levin. Being out of work is not an excuse for being irresponsible to the country by electing people who don’t understand that in America, by virtue of the Constitution that has protected us for well over 200 years, we keep church and state separate. And without her religion, there are no intellectual reasons to support Bachman and many reasons not to.

Andrea D:
Bachmann’s district doesn’t include Burnsville. It is just north of the Cities, spanning from Stillwater to Saint Cloud. I like letting the local businesses know how you feel, though.

You go, Murray!! No one’s gonna put you in a concentration camp!!

Mmmmmmm….. Murray Ludwig, you would vote for a woman who, among other things, has been blasted by her own party for suggesting that members of congress be subjected to a McCarthy style investigation to find out if they are “Pro or Anti-American” AND believe that people who have lost there jobs due to the GLOBAL economic crisis that we are in should place blame on the administration that has been in place for 6 months???? Stop Guessing….You ARE an idiot

The whole GOP is vulnerable

Bachman’s wacky-doodle-ocity is not a liberal or a conservative point of view. Back in the 90’s we Democrats had our own nutjob James Traficant, and that guy clearly deserved to be hoisted from office. There was little or no argument from us.
Bachmann’s erratic behavior and deranged speeches go well beyond foot-in-mouth, and is at the least embarrassing and at most dangerous. Minnesotan republicans should find someone to run against her so they have a chance to keep a Republican in that seat.

This woman is missing a few vital screws. The things she comes up with. The digital converter box being a brain washing machine. The re-education camps for teens and college students. Demanding that all Minnestoans arm themselves. Some comments are bordering Treason. Is this what the GOP belives their party should be spewing out? Bacjman claiming the only wat to end unemployment is to do away with the minimum wage. Does she thing that will end unemployment? I’d love to see her work for minimum wages and not have the taxer paid healthcare she so much enjoys. This woman truely is unfit to represent any district. When your Bible puts money in the bank and food on the table, and until then; this religious Fringe needs to go.

Only in America, with the possible exception of N. Korea, can someone so obviously insane gain a prominent position in Congress. It’s obvious that she panders to the rightwingnuts who have somehow bought the line that our government is evil, which they prove every time they gain control. Only in America is socialized medicine evil while making a profit from illness and accident is “the American way!” Up until the day Obama was sworn in, $10.6 trillion of our $11 trillion deficit was rung up during the reagan/bush/bush administrations. Never once while they were in power did you hear them complain about deficit spending, those complaints are reserved for the rare times a Democrat is in the White House. In their world we should be the world’s policeman, bearing all the costs of building and maintaining 186 major military bases on foreign soil. Much of this is spent so we can have “cheap” oil, which actually costs us more like $1,000 bbl when this is considered. The rest of the world ride our coat tails for free. Michelle Bachmann gets her health care for free, hopefully they have a great mental health component for her. If she runs against a rabid dog, I will contribute all I can to the rabid dog.

Bachmann did not win Stearns County. Probably because of the St Cloud State vote. The problem is Wright and Sherburne Counties. Those are two of the most conservative counties in the state. I think the tide has turned against Bachmann. She just might lose Sherburne and Wright this time.

The voters are tired of her camera hogging antics and all of her debunked conspiracy theories. I swear her single source for information is WorldNetDaily. The way she handled the Walser/GM deal was deplorable!

Maybe they can find a suitable job for her………like as a door stop.

Murray,

So you support her calls to revisit the McCarthy hearings and to not complete the census form? That squarely places you in the “idiot” or nut-case category. Please encourage the people in Minnesota to follow her advice on the census. If your population is under reported, it is my understanding that her district is likely to be eliminated (a very good thing for this country).

Michele Bachmann is a brave, brilliant, beautiful public servant who represents her constituents with care and compassion. We need this heroine of the loyal opposition to speak against the liberal juggernaut which is now trampling our liberties.

And the award for wing-nuttiest Rep. goes to….

To Murray Ludwig, I wish there was a way that you could vote for her. That way, while Rome continues to burn, the other side of the aisle can continue to point at this fruitcake and remind not just the state of MN, but the entire party that’s why we’re having problems in this country. While we’re dealing with a difficult economy, two wars, and health care through the roof, we’ve got congresspeople that are saying…let’s just call it what it is, treasonous things that aren’t helping in the least. Your state has been hiding it’s head in shame and even her party has been telling her to close her maw, but she won’t be silenced. Since unfortunately Sister Sarah’s leaving, (although I think she won’t go away from the cam) we’ll need to have someone that’ll remind us how we got into the jam that we’re in. She’ll work just fine. In a shrinking minority with no power to change the course, but doing everything it can to derail anything that remotely resembles a solution.

Bachmann is unfit for public service and exhibits behavior consistent with stimulant abuse. Her thinking is distorted and she reflects poorly on the state. If Pawlenty has national ambitions, he will distance himself from Bachmann other than to keep her muzzled.

I’m a guy in Maryland, so I don’t really have much of a stake in this. But I’m torn in two on the prospects of Bachmann’s re-election.

On one hand, responsible civics would certainly prefer than elected officials meet some basic minimum threshold of rational thought and coherent speech.

But part of me would be saddened by the loss of a quintessential National Joke.

Most esteemed Murray Lugwig,
You’re right, sir–you ARE an idiot.
Respectfully,
Stu Smith

Thanks MInnesota for Al Franken…Ms. Bachmann, not so much. This is the same woman who said on Hardball the members of Congress should be investigated for their “anti-American” beliefs and stated that she would advise her constituents not to cooperate with the Census, which is against the law.

Please, please, please, the Dems must find a viable candidate to run against this ignorant, right-wing, religious whack job!

As for Bachmann, being batshit crazy hasn’t helped her election efforts. If Minnesota press had actually done their job prior to her last election, we wouldn’t be having a disscussion about her now. She would be back at home enjoying her role as stay at home lunatic.

There’s obviously something wrong with ms bachmann – either she doesn’t have the intellectual heft to do the job, or she’s just bat$hit crazy. (I lean toward the latter)

I would think minnesotans would be embarrassed by that nitwit.

Murry Lugwig states: “like most liberal comments, Mr. Stevens’ comments deal with emotion and not any stated facts” and further states: “watching her constituents loosing jobs because of a failing economy and President”. BeeEss!

Murry Ludwig, sweeping generalizations and right-wing extremist talking points do not a persuasive argument make. U.S. jobs are gone primarily as a direct result of Wall Street, venture capital and otherwise wealthy business owners (largely, right-wingers) deliberately moving operations offshore to take advantage of lax environmental regulation, tax loopholes and to exploit low cost labor i.e. screw the American worker for the sake of higher profits. Second, our President is not “failing” but fighting against deeply entrenched and badly misguided public officials and the ignorant element of their constituentcies. Such public officials make a fool of those too tired or lazy to learn for themselves what is really going on. They are playing you for a fool and winning big. The failure you allude to is the direct result of right-wing extremists in public office choosing self-interest over and above their constitutional duties. Big difference there. Turn off the tv and right-wing hate speech radio, go to the library or the coffee shop and READ. Maybe bring a dictionary too. Democracy is no place for the ignorant or the intellectually lazy.

IceNine in Maryland: It’s understandable that you would see Rep. Bachmann as a “National Joke” from your vantage point back East, but as someone who has observed Bachmann up close (as her Republican primary opponent last year and as a volunteer for Democrat Patty Wetterling against Bachmann in 2006), please bear with me.

I find it deeply disturbing when observers dismiss Bachmann as a mere embarrassment, cheap entertainment, a stealth weapon to relegate the GOP to permanent minority status, or a fundraising magnet for Democrats.

In my opinion, that is a grave mistake.

The message I’m trying to convey to 6th District constituents in my campaign against Bachmann is that the situation we face is deadly serious — especially in a time of economic uncertainty (such as the German people faced in the years preceding World War II).

As defenders of democracy and our American way of life, we cannot allow Bachmann to remain in a position where political power amplifies her voice and animates a large and growing national audience.

Make no mistake: people like Bachmann are dangerous in positions of political power.

Bachmann is *not* a buffoon (though she might appear that way to the casual observer). Bachmann does *not* misspeak nor make careless gaffes. And she’s not an entertainer. Like the late Sen. Joe McCarthy, Rep. Michele Bachmann is a member of the United States Congress.

What Bachmann says is what she truly believes. Her demagoguery, fear-mongering, and incendiary rhetoric energizes and mobilizes political extremists, some of whom may lack the clarity of judgment and self-restraint on which we rely for a civil society and a nation of laws.

Always Remember: “Never Again”

A more suitable job for that racist, loony b*tch would be as toilet paper!

To the people of Minnesota – I feel your pain. I live in the 5th district in Iowa represented by Steve King. We all cringe when he makes the papers or Keith Olberman’s worst person in the world segment. When I hear off the wall comments from other politicians, I wonder how did they get elected? What were those people thinking? Then Steve King happened to us and now Michelle Bachman in Minnesota. I love Iowa. I Love Minnesota. What happend to us? There is a saying in Iowa that the western side of the state is so republican that Hitler could run as a republican and get elected. We all have our cross to bear.

She certainly does not need to be re-elected. To hell with her. While you don’t want to wish something bad on someone I hope she gets humbled in a manner that doesn’t hurt too bad. Something like her daughter gets pregnant with no idea of who the husband is.

Neal: I think it will suffice to make sure Rep. Bachmann is not returned to Congress next year and to wish her and her family well as we send her on her way.

Murray Ludwig: “So I guess I’m an idiot too.”

True that.

Try using your brain next time you vote.

Murray Ludwig: By the way, dipshit, how’s that Shock and Awe working for you?

Stick with what you know: admitting you are an idiot.

Carlton West:

I just threw up reading your comment.

I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but there is someone on this thread even more inbred and ignorant than Murray Ludwig. Way to lower the bar, mouthbreather.

I’m hoping Sarah Palin picks Michelle as her running mate. The movie Dumb and Dumber comes to mind just thinking about it.

Flatearther. Seriously, how did this person get elected?

She is a laughingstock, a complete idiot and mental case. We have to get these loons out of government !!!

she belongs on the “top ten political self-destructors” list. any problem she has is of her own doing.

I should feel sorry for the people of Minnesota, but they are the ones who elected this train-wreck.

Michelle Bachman shouldn’t be dropped by the Republicans because of her “looks”, as unusual as they may be. She should be dropped at the nomination level because she has a knack for saying incredibly bizarre and unsubstantiated things, while giving the impression she doesn’t actually have ANY facts to back anything up. An interview with Ms. Bachmann is painful to watch on many levels because she makes it up while going along…calling on congress to investigate its anti-american members? This from a party whose majority of members dedicated 7+ years to eviscerating the constitution and abetting crimes by the executive (the dems didn’t fare much better).

The Republicans are in a post-election slump and at a crossroads as well. If they shed/disavow their bad luggage (Bush, Cheney, Bachmann, Limbaugh) and develop actual policy proposals they can easily have a chance to recover within 4-8 years. But they need to lose the bottom of the barrel. Right now, the most vocal Republicans are the Birther/anti-constitution, anti-law wing. They may only be 10-15% of the base, but their presence there prevents normal, rational patriots from buying in. Lose ‘em now, take yer lumps and the party COULD survive. But not with mouthpieces like Bachmann.

The situation is ripe for a new rational republican leader to come up the middle and lay claim to sane policy. Any takers?

MIchele Bachman is an embarassment to the United States Government.
Michele Bachman is an embarassment to the Republican Party.
Michele Bachman is an embarassment to the state of Minnesoto.
MIchele Bachman is an embarassment to the honest people of her district.
The people of Michele Bachman’s district, who keep re-elcting her to the House, are an embarassment to be themselves with their lack of good judgment, common sense and their IN ABILITY to recognize MAGNIFIED STUPIDITY every time she opens her mouth.

Just the opinon of a 56yo life long disgusted Republican

Oh please, PLEASE don’t take Michelle away from me.

First I lose the Monkees. Then I lose Bullwinkle. Then I lose Bozo. Then I lose Pee Wee Herman. Then I lose Monty Python. Then I lose Box Car Willie… and David Duke…

I can’t imagine life without my daily dose of Michelle. Unless I go back to doing acid.

Reimer – agree 100% with your comment. As a native Iowan and immigrant to Minnesota these two have been a cross for me to bare. Why King hasn’t gotten more national press ridicule is beyond me.

The only word or metaphor that comes to mind when I see Bachmann on C-Span or any other station is dangerous…..another is cunning and yes, pathological. She says things and then denies she ever said them, it doesn’t matter if you then run the entire tape of the interview unedited, she lies about it and never takes responsibility for her hateful, spiteful words. A classic example of this was the interview last fall with Chris Matthews on Hard Ball.

I am sick to death of these individuals who proclaim that they are on a higher moral ground than the rest of us, more patriotic, more American, etc. Never, never again, will anyone question me or my patriotism because I did not support the Iraq War…..I took a lot of abuse at the time…I was in favor of going after Bin Laden but not Iraq.

To the voters of Minnesota in her district, please send someone with a level head, who is sane and tolerant and will make your state proud. Clearly, she is nuts.

I always think of Bach-bach as the poor man’s Sarah Palin: At least as cuckoo, silly, tactless and loopy, but just doesn’t grab those headlines in the same way. But she tries, oh yes, she tries.

As a Democrat, I’m all for keeping Bachmann around a little longer. I’m considering working to help nominate Palin too. Don’t you all realize that these two, and Rush, and the rest of these loonies are a huge gift to us all? I say give ‘em a media platform often, if not for pure amusement than to help the democratic party. I’m currently getting all excited by the “Birthers”, who are also doing a great job at embarrassing those dwindling few republicans remaining who have half a brain. Remember that poor gullible stoooopid woman who stood up at a campaign rally to tell McCain that Obama was a terrorist, and only reminded independents of the fact that the republican party is full of ignorant nut cases? Works every time.

Murry Ludwig is actually Michelle Bachmann. She is the only one who will vote for herself in her district. How could anyone else be so stupid.

Minnesotans please, please, please, do not listen to those people above and vote Mrs Bachman back into power.
I really like the way she looks , talks and her unique ability to interpret things. Right on Minnesota just keep voting for her and do not spoil my fun.

Everyone said we were the laughing stock of the nation to elect Al Franken, a comedian. Since the election, he has demonstrated professionalism, restraint and respect and so far has continued to do so. Bachmann is a lawyer by trade and has shown none of these qualities. It’s the lawyer not the comedian who is the laughing stock of MN.

Q) What does it say when your own Party, which itself has an evident psychosis,
deems you a nutcase?

A) Nothing!!! Who’s gonna notice!! This is SOP for this group !!!

I truly can’t imagine how she possibly passed the bar. And on that note, someone should bring her up on an ethics charge for an officer of the court to publicly advocate mass unlawful activity such as refusing to participate in the census or providing false information. This is a woman who really likes to see herself on TV. Usually with her mouth open.

Read something (can’t vouch for it) that suggested the 6th is the most conservative/right-leaning district in Mn. If Mrs. Bachmann is at risk for losing her seat, perhaps conservatives are recovering from their slip off the cliff of reason. Good for them and the 6th.

CJ called it straight at 4:32

This woman liability is that she says the things that most other Repubs are thinking. I’m gonna miss her.

I am a Democrat. Where can I send money to help reelect this bat crap crazy person? No matter how badly the Dem’s screw up, she will still make us look good.

Palin/Bachmann in 2010!! Now there’s a ticket you can get behin, also. You betcha’!

I have it documented on video at the link below. You’ll see Alan Colmes on Fox News reading, from the actual “Hardball” transcript, Bachmann’s statement that the media “should do a penetrating expose and take a look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they’re pro- or anti-America.”

Bachmann responds by saying, “Actually, that’s not what I said at all.”

Colmes retorts, “Well, I’m reading your exact quote.”

Bachmann persist in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary: “Actually that’s not what I said. It’s an urban legend that was created. That isn’t what I said at all.”

Colmes (in frustration): “It’s on tape.”

Watch: http://www.immelman.us/news/bachmann-bears-false-witness/

Ooops. I meant 2012.

Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman can be tied on the same Yoke. Its unbelievable to me that conservatives do not care about the knowledge, education and etc of anyone.
I like to see Sarah Palins Degree Certificate….

As a non-Minnesotan, I can only conclude that everyone in Minnesota is like Michelle Bachmann. And you folks really shouldn’t be too bothered by that. She brings me much joy — so earnest, so innocent, and so oblivious to the reaction of others to what she is saying. You folks aren’t saying that Minnesotans aren’t all like that, are you? I happen to know Lake Woebegone is a mythical body of water, so don’t give me that stuff about all the children are above average.

I couldn’t be more thrilled with this news. I believe this woman is a certifiable “nut case”, a total embarassment to the U. S. Congress and the state she represents.

She is ignorant of the facts on all major issues. I hope she resigns for the good of the country. Please Minnesota, vote her away.

I thought Palin was an idiot until this dolt popped on the political comedy scene. I can’t imagine anyone with a sane mind voting for this woman. It shows a complete lack of human conscientiousness.

Bachmann wanted Congress to investigate certain liberals for loyalty to America. She blamed blacks for the sub prime mortgage meltdown. Does anybody need to go on with example of her hatred?

Darn! I was so looking forward to a Palin-Bachmann ticket in 2012! Whoops! I meant to say a Palin-Bachman ticket in “0-twelve!” I forgot that pitchfork waving Palin fans at one rally last fall prefaced the years of the the second decade years in this new millenium with a zero as if they hadn’t ever been exposed to the concept of place value in math. Woefully undereducated just like their idol. Michelle would fit right in.

I would like to see this idiot join with palin, buchanan, cheneys and other nutcases for a rip-roaring third party. Guns and crazies. Then there will be some change.

Yes Murray Ludwig, you are and idiot too and I might add, a very dangerous idiot. That’s the worst kind.

I thought Palin was an idiot until this dolt popped on the political comedy scene. I can’t imagine anyone with a sane mind voting for this woman. It shows a complete lack of human conscientiousness. Bachmann wanted Congress to investigate certain liberals for loyalty to America. She blamed blacks for the sub prime mortgage meltdown. Does anybody need to go on with example of her hatred?

No amount of danger is enough for this nut job, after all she was re-elected after her nationally televised loony tunes episode with Chris Matthews on Hardball. One can only assume that her district has a very high tolerance for crazy speak.

She is so stoopid and yet so hott!!! I’m old, give a dog a bone!

Michele took me into her confidence and revealed why she’s so smart. Hallucinogens!

I hate to be helpful to the GOP, but, guys, there’s another way to do this….when you have an incumbent who’s as wacko as Bachmann, maybe you could find someone to run against her in the primary……just a suggestion, don’t feel compelled to follow it….

This woman just pops up and says some of the craziest stuff I have ever heard. Now, I’m not to happy with our Sen. Ben Nelsen right now either, but at least he makes some sense when he talks, and he picks his battles wisely and speaks intelligently about them.She does try to revise what she says to, as she can’t seem to remember or listen to her own quotes. What is that about? It’s not the 50″s where we didn’t have U-tube,internet for fast replays! She just goes around saying she didn’t say that, when you can loop it and catch her saying that! It’s a never ending story of this lady saying things that make no sense, or out of line with reality. Has nothing to do with how she looks, or how thin she is!

The House is too small an arena for a powerhouse like Bachmann. Palin/Bachmann 2012. Can’t you just see it! Republicans one up Democrats by bringing the first all-women ticket. I just can’t wait!!

The 10 minute Bush grab is still my favorite MB moment of all time. Even Bush looked like he thought she was a loony. I also think she a Katherine Harris of Florida election fame must be sisters. They must have gone in together for the standard GOP female makeover.

As far as representatives go, she makes Fred Grandy look good.
Can’t Minnesota elect Cooter instead?

The GOP made kooky-nut Katherine Harris go away when she finally went off the deep end. Why won’t they make Bachmann go away, she’s waaay nuttier than Harris!

I’m from Canada, and my husband and I regularly read Michelle Bachmann’s nonsense on the internet or we catch her on cable news. She is a disgrace pure and simple! Luckily we live close enough to the U.S. that we know her view isn’t shared by many. Unfortunately, the wordwide view of Americans is tarnished because of people like her and GWB. Fortunately, President Obama has begun to restore the sheen……..cheers and good luck in 2010!

One one hand I can see re-electing her because she would be public and therefore watched, but I’m scared for the people of Minnesota if she lost. If she lost, would she be monitored via ankle bracelet or would she be free to roam with no supervision?

The more Idiots – the better.
She certainly could compete with Palin in stupidity.

After reading through these comment, it sounds like many people in Minnesota like to name call and trash talk. No facts, just ridicule. But, that’s ok because people in other states are ridiculing the people of Minnesota for voting for Franken. Perhaps, you all should elect Perez Hilton as governor! It seems like that would be a good match for the majority of the population in Minnesota.
You all would reject any happy, successful mom that stands by conservative principles. It is so sad to see how you are reduced to vile remarks which only reflect on your nature.

[...] Bachmann . . . on GOP’s Most-Vulnerable-Incumbents List [...]

Ms Bachman is vulnerable in that she might be committed.

Bachmann and Palin: The Queens of dipshit ADD America.
Lipstick on a pig, If I ever saw it.
Repubs, please stop voting against your own economic interests, and read more real news.

TIME OUT.

This has nothing to do who the Sixth Districts voters elect in November 2010, this is all about FUNDRAISING on Patroit Day. Bachmann has always been a good fundraiser … and with her name on the list of 25, she will bring in lots of dollars for the party … that she cannot possible spend in her campaign.

NOTE : So far this year, Bachmann has had eleven fundraisers in DC … if you missed out, bring $500 to Finemondo Restaurant on July 29th and you can enjoy dinner with her.

Regarding the election, since Bob Anderson indicates that he will run again as the Independence Party nominee, outraged voters will have an alternative to voting for the dreaded Democrat or Bachmann. So unless she gets defeated by Aubrey Immelman or someone else in the MN-GOP primary, she will win again.

Bachmann’s as crazy as a shit house rat.
As long as the GOP is represented by people of her ilk( Rush Limbaugh, Plumber Joe, Sarah Palin, Alan Keyes, Gordon Liddy), they will continue to be irrelevant.
And after eight years of a devastating, Chauncey Gardiner presidency, America needs some time to recover.

Is Minnesota a state? Jessie “the body” Ventura, Al Franken and this nutty Bachmann. Can we trade Minnesota to Canada?

Linda commented July 24 @ 1:30 am: “You all would reject any happy, successful mom that stands by conservative principles.”

Linda: That’s the false image of Rep. Bachmann that mainstream media in Minnesota presented until early this year, when first the St. Cloud Times, several smaller newspapers, and finally the Star Tribune began to call Bachmann on her extremism and hypocrisy.

As commenter Bill Prendergast explained:

“Up til last year, the description of Michele Bachmann that could be offered by people familiar with her name would be ‘attractive social conservative rising star, an outspoken Reagan mom of faith who wants to cut your taxes.’ That was the image that Bachmann and the right wanted to present, and almost every piece of professional media in this state accepted that definition of Bachmann at face value.

“We [the Dump Bachmann blog] didn’t. We were convinced almost from the beginning that Bachmann was a nut, a liar, and bigot. And a political extremist and stealth theocrat posing as a member of the conservative right in order to remain electable. We were also convinced that she was potentially dangerous …”

Michelle Bachman on the endangered list? you’ve made my day. and I loved reading the Minnesotans’ responses. She is a wacko, really and truly.

GLAD ALL YOU COMMIES ARE IN MINIE MIND LAND

Does that mean they pulled her off the “Most Stupid” list?

How can one argue with the fact that her extremist, out of touch beliefs are not documented and the judgements about her are not based on fact? She has been documented on tv and in the newspaper saying outragous statements and spewing hatered. And then when called on it, she says, “that is not what I said.” How would you discribe a person like that? Honorable? Truthful? Reliable source of information? She has earned the reputation she has. From the night that she kissed Pres. bush and continued to keep her had on his shoulder as if she were a good friend, was only the beginning of her downslide. And from what state are you? S.C, IA, AZ, or any of the states that have had representatives or senators being identified as possible “birthers”, and making hateful statements. It would be interesting to know if you support these people as well. And if you do, that says a lot about you and your beliefs.

This lady is totally nuts………and her husband Marcus is super, super gay. He does ex-gay therapy, he’s been seen in gay bars outside of town (Milwaukee), and if you’ve ever met him (I have, numerous times), you’d know he’s gay. No wonder she hates homosexuals; she’s been married to one in a loveless relationship for years!

[...] Bachmann, Rep. Michele • heartening addition of to list of most vulnerable Republican incumbents [...]

Bachmann isn’t going to lose because she’s a witch. She cast a curse over that whole district like some kind of voodoo zombie spell or something.

I saw goody Bachman with the devil and she signed his black book. If you try to resist, she’ll send her spirit out on you, and choke you in your sleep.

You’re gonna need like Harry Potter or something to stop her. Voting sure isn’t going to work. She’ll turn your ballot into a frog or something then get you locked up in one of Obama’s concentration camps that are all over.

Seriously, just let this one slide guys. Trust me.

story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…

“Mee-shell … mah Belle” … she’s addled and outahere … though I do look forward to her one-liners when she begins that post-defeat, oh-so-inevitable speaking tour.

I am from Minnesota too and it doesn’t seem to matter when you see this woman on the Congressional floor making a mockery of our entire nation by spewing forth paranoid diatribes about freedom and traitors in our midst. All Americans are shamed by this.

Oh and for the experts out there, 6 months isn’t long enough for scholars to decide whether a president has done anything. Hell, its even too early for Bush (although we all know the results already). It takes up to 8 years or more AFTER the president has left office to determine their worth.

So ease up sore losers and gloaters alike. The results will be in eventually.

Another dismissed Limpublican soon to be stalking Planned Parenthood clinics with Sarah Palin and the rest of those losers. Look into that twitch. It might be a micro stroke.

Minnesotans who voted for the vile and pathetic comic Frankin for US Senator and who now oppose conservatives deserve the worst of what having a joker who has beliefs closer to Marx than Thomas Jefferson will befall on their beautiful state. Unfortunately, so will the entire US as we laugh at MN jokers.

Oh come on, any Democrat, Republican, or Independent with a brain knows she’s crazy. I’d love to hear what other Republicans say when she isn’t around. Has got to be juicy! I am sure they wince every time she says something else stupid. Just because she has some people who follow her around who are just as dumb and uninformed as she is doesn’t mean she has a clue!

I agree with others on this thread that Bachmann and the rest of the loons need to be purged from the Republican Party. The conservative ranks need to return to an intellectual base and attract more qualified leaders than these wingnuts.

I have to admit she is funny in a dangerous way. I feel sorry for the folks up there in Minnesota who she represents. She would fit right in with the Taliban….I mean right wing Christians.

In response to the “You’d think Minnesotans would be embarrassed by her” comments?

We are,

So you can stop contemplating the concept.

What a bunch of rectums!

I would love to have Ms. Bachmann represent me.

You morons are so far gone you don’t realize she’s fighting for you, for what America once was and should be.

How did the good Minnessota people ever elect this crackpot? It;s time to dump her!

How did the fair minded Minnessota voters elect this crackpot?

I heard one truly intelligent comment from a Republican strategist one time. She said, “I think that much of the vitriol in partisan debates comes from the fact that members of the two parties essentially disagree on ‘American exceptionalism.”

Michelle Bachman believes everything she was taught in 5th grade. Most of us kept learning new things after the age of 10.

In answer to Steve,

What do mean by equating Jesse Ventura and Al Franken with Michelle Loo-loo-land Bachman? Jesse Ventura is one of my heroes. He is a former navy SEAL who very publicly called out Dick Cheney as a cowardly draft-dodger who not only promoted torture, but needlessly sent thousands of Americans into harms way.
And Al Franken! Al Franken is not just a comedian, he is an extremely intelligent man who has a degree in political science from Harvard.

I don’t know for a fact that Rep. Bachmann is not a mentally retarded lunatic because she has refused to release her medical records to the public, nor do I know for sure that she’s not a lizard alien from Planet Zero dressed up in human skin that she bought at some garage sale because she has not released a birth certificate I can actually believe in. So let me repeat that I don’t know for sure that she’s a lizard lunatic from another planet, but I couldn’t swear to it on a stack of Bibles. I personally find it troubling that she won’t clarify these issues once and for all and put these nasty rumors to bed. So as far as I know she’s not some disgusting mutant life form that suffers from mental illness and really weird hair, but since I haven’t seen any compelling documentation to the contrary, I can’t really say that she’s not.

Rep. Michele Bachmann is too much an extremist for me. Republican leaders need to take a serious look at people like Bachmann and consider the direction they are taking the party. It doesn’t seem to be a direction that matches the american way.

Michele Bachmann does not represent her constituents well because she speaks for only a portion of the population. She works to strike fear in the hearts of people and seeks to create hostility between those she “represents”. All in the name of Christianity. This is not the Christianity I was raised to believe in nor live by as an adult. We need politicians who strive to unite our country and who speak well of all people, not just those who agree with them. Michele Bachmann needs to be voted out of office.

I think she did the right thing.

Shes a fine looking women too.

Minn. should be proud of her.

Quorum

In law, a quorum is the minimum number of members of a deliberative body necessary to conduct the business of that group.

So there was not even a minumum number of memebers present.

I have no problem with Rep. Bachmann seeking a quorum, but, for those who are interested, State Senator Tarryl Clark of Saint Cloud has just announced her intention to run for Congress from Minnesota’s 6th District. I think she will be a formidable opponent for Mrs. Bachmann. This is going to be an exciting race.

I’m from a Minnesota. As far as Pawlenty, he has rightly been dubbed a Boy Scout witih a switchblade. So, yes, he might not want to appear as telegenically nutso as Michelle, but he, Kline, and all this crew are on the same page. Don’t assume there is anything worthwhile for him to offer, if he just distances himself from Michelle. The crazy stuff gets rapid national media response, anything is better than nothing. Same with the Alaska Nazi. Yes, they are all the modern corporate sucking Nazis. Anything for a buck. For the multimillionaires, that is. Throw Kindergarden Cop in there also.

Tarryl Clark campaign announcement:

Michele Bachmann has got to go! Democratic candidate Dr. Maureen Reed is running against her and she is the ticket to beating Bachmann’s craziness! You can learn more about Maureen, and donate, at:

Tarryl Clark doesn’t really stand a chance in this 6th district because of how conservative it is and how partisan Clark’s voting record is. Clark has done good work for the DFL, but because of that she can’t win.

It is sad how our country has become a place where Christian’s are attacked for the beliefs. I don’t know that I believe that stating you are running because God suggested to is bad. Just because a person believes in God does not make them bad. Some people speak to allah and yet you don’t speak horribly of them. Others, like our current president, say they are Christian and quote scripture yet don’t attend church and when they do it go to some place that is anti-white, anti-American and generally hateful. Yet all you can babble about are the “right wing”, “nut job” name calling that come with being a part of the liberal elite. Shame on all you idiots who can’t speak of someone without tearing down the way they look, the way they speak or their religious beliefs. When the secular progressives have stripped God, family, morals, hard work, personal responsibility from our society you will truly wonder what happened. YOU LISTENED TO THE IDIOT REPORTERS AND POLITICIANS WHO TAUGHT YOU ANC CONTINUE TO TELL YOU WHAT AND HOW TO THINK!

Murrary… yes, I’m afraid you *are* an idiot. Anyone who supports her is either a hick, a religious nutcase, or an idiot… but I repeat myself.

You too, Davis. Bush attacked Iraq because God told him to. If you think that’s right, you’re F-ing moron too.

I’d rather listen to informed reporters and intellectuals telling me what to think than some conservative pastor’s interpretation of the Bible.

Franky… thank you for being a voice of reason. I know there are plenty of moderate Republicans who are not extremist religious whackos. Unfortunately people like Bachmann make the moderate part of your party nearly invisible.

Whenever I see comments from liberals I realize why we are in such deep trouble as an American Nation.

Liberals discussing anything is like Afghanistan tribal warlords discussing peaceful resolutions.

Listening to Liberals is like listening to rabid dog chew on a piece of garden hose coated with peanut butter.
