‘Amarica’s Congress Woman’: Rep. Michele Bachmann

By Andy Birkey

bachmannamaricaHuffington Post’s Jason Linkins discovered something strange when he put “Michele Bachmann” into Yahoo’s search engine on Saturday: Rep. Michele Bachmann’s campaign website says she is “Amarica’s Congress Woman.”

Bachmann’s campaign spelled America wrong in the metatags for her website. And, the presumption that Bachmann is not only Minnesota’s 6th Congressional district congresswoman, but is in fact congresswoman for all of America seems to be a play off of supporters of Rep. Joe Wilson. When he called President Obama a liar in 2009, right-wing conservatives dubbed him “America’s Congressman” complete with t-shirts, bumper stickers and a Facebook fan page.

Poetry in motion-that’s good ol’ Michelle. Glad to see that her staff is right up there with the best and brightest. Kinda makes you feel good all over, doesn’t it?

Now that’s hard hitting journalism right there!

The sitting US president thinks there are 57 United States and Bachmann is taking hits for a typo on her website. Priceless.

Perhaps the misspelling was a deliberate ploy for search engines. Does anyone really think that Rep. Bachmann’s people are even close to functional literacy? How would they find her site if “America” had to be spelled correctly?

Good grief is this woman an embarrassment or what? Misspellings are nothing to her ignorant rants about things she knows nothing about like Christianity.

What funny is people talk about a typo she did, and the president has trouble speaking without a Teleprompter.

Just because one is a politition doesn’t make them perfect

She’s such a freaking doofus. Just one look at those crazy eyes, and anyone can tell there is a raging firestorm of insanity in her soul. Is her staff retarded (don’t worry, that was satire!)?

Poor Michele Bachmann. She just can’t ever get anything right! She’s like a lying bag of steaming ineptitude with tourette’s syndrome. ROFL.

Bachmann is crazy and her staff incompetent…who could have guessed?

Hey, uh, silly people….57 states was a JOKE, Bushco (you guys) called Americans who didn’t support torture traitors and you get upset that we call one representative crazy?

You conservatives are the ones living in an alternate reality, not Pelosi. Bush raised the deficit, raised the debt, ransacked soc. sec., spent 1 trillion dollars to beat up Iraq and Afghanistan just cuz he wanted to, he enacted the prescription drug benefit (socialized medicine you socialist conservatives you). It seems that out of control spending, bad foreign policy, ransacking soc. sec. and gutting the Constitution via signing statements and the Patriot Act was just fine…but spend money on America and its people instead of Halliburton and war and the sky falls and tyranny reigns.

Next thing that needs reform: EDUCATION because 50% of us seem to be lacking EDUCATION. But then education for conservatives has nothing to do with school…it has to do with how many quotes they can memorize daily from FOX and then repeat to anyone who will listen.

PS Mary,

How many words did Bush mispronounce or just plain make up?

Trying to turn Obama into the “dumb” president is a losing proposition.

What’s the deficit now?

Obama has spent more than all the other presidents combined, including $400,000.00 to a Lybian Charity fund ran by the Gaddafi family. If you’re talking about the War in Afghanistan, and it spent too much, why would Obama Send 30,000 troops over, especially going on an apologetic tour apologizing for American Arrogance.

Pelosi is living in a different reality: “We believe that fines and jail time are what the American people want, so we want to pass this bill as a Christmas Gift for the American people” That meaning the IRS provision bill.

Here’s the deal. Yes, over 50% of the people in the 6th District are freakin’ nuts to have re-elected Bachmann. I don’t live there, but I do suffer the embarassment of having her name associated with Minnesota. Therefore, I propose a NEW grassroots movement. I will not spend one red cent in the 6th District until they vote her OUT of office. I will make a point to gas up and eat before entering the land of the Wing Nuts.

Last time I googled this nut case, I got an instant Trojan infection and had to reformat my HD. Dangerous to google this crazy woman as she no doubt would claim it being some Anti American something blaming Obama.

Most leftists have probably never heard Obama claim to have visited 57 states; they don’t play it on MSNBC.

He was NOT making a joke. Which is more scary: having a ‘tard for a president or having millions of deer in the headlights followers with their heads in the sand?

It’s tough to find Bachmann supporters who can spell, construct a sentence or add a column of numbers. Good help is apparently hard to find in parts of the Sixth District.

To hear anything negative about Congresswoman Bachmann from anyone in a state that elected a REAL fool like Al Franken is really laughable. Minnesota is a great state and deserves better for sure. Franken is a horrible mistake.

Now that another “Al” – Al Sharpton has announced to the nation “anyone who voted for Obama knows they voted for socialism” at least we know what Democrats really think! Or did they actually know that until their vote was explained to them by by Al #2 – maybe they need to ask the other Al in their party! I wonder which of the 57 states Obama is in tonight? He counts states like he counts bailouts and bribes – what’s a few extra bucks for your votes?

Well I’m glad she’s SOMEBODY’S Congresswoman, because she isn’t doing anything for the residents of Minnesota’s 6th District.

@Richard: Ironic that you demonstrate thin intelligence by attacking spelling erros but in doing so, post a grammatically inferior message, with incorrect punctuation no less.

It seems to me that our ancestors fought a war for independece from England. They wanted to be free. Now a lot of liberals want America(yes,I believe I spelled that correctly) to go back to being a second England/Europe. I’ve always been proud I was born here instead of there. I’m with Jack, Jimmy and Jaydee. Democrats want to spend every one’s money but their own. Their sheep-like followers are out to get all they can with out working for it. They want to ride that free hand out wagon. Well, people, if every one rides that wagon—who’s going to pull it? I’m as charitable as any body but I hate to pay for other people’s food, houses, cars, health care plus my own and they are living better then I am!!!
