Immelman: ‘I am a single-issue candidate… to defeat Michele Bachmann’

A couple of corrections:

From the article: “Prompted by Rep. Michele Bachmann’s now-infamous comment that she feared Barack Obama held “anti-American views,” Aubrey Immelman ran in the GOP primary for the Sixth Congressional District race in 2008 …”

In fact, it’s Bachmann’s Oct. 17, 2008 anti-American rant that prompted me to file against her as a write-in candidate after losing the Sept. 9 Republican primary.

I filed (in July 2008) against Bachmann in the Republican primary because of Bachmann’s embrace of the Bush administration’s profligate spending and fiscal irresponsility, including the ill-conceived Iraq war.

From the article: “Immelman … ran as an independent write-in candidate in the general election, getting few votes.”

The figures on the Secretary of State’s website linked to in the article are incorrect; most precincts failed to tally my write-in votes, including my own precinct (Sartell P-5), where my own vote was uncounted.

As a Bachmann supporter, I strongly encourage Aubrey to run, as an independent. In fact, my contribution is imminent.

Thanks for the correction, Aubrey. Apologies.

Take Michele Bachmann.….Please. She recently suggested that the whole purpose of the census was so the government will know where the best places to set up internment camps will be. I realize that this silly woman has the IQ of your average hummingbird, but surely she must know that that statement is complete and utter nonsense. What does that tell you about her? It tells me more than I need to know. If there has been a more despicable demagogue in my lifetime I am not aware of it. In October of 2008, in an appearance on the Chris Matthews program, she stated (with a straight face, I swear) that all Democratic members of the House and Senate should be investigated for their “anti-Americanism”. I’m not makin’ this stuff up, folks. It makes one wonder if she’s ever given the Constitution even a passing glance.

NOTE TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA:

You gave us Bob Dylan, Judy Garland, Garrison Keillor and Eugene McCarthy. Is this half-witted twit the best you can do? Seriously.

The question needs to be posed: When and where will the first act of extreme violence be carried out? Think it won’t happen? It will happen and soon. The encouragement by these “responsible” legislators and commentators virtually guarantees as much. For months they have been egging on their mindless masses and it’s only a matter of time before one of them goes over the edge.

Yeah I’m surprised Bachmann wants investigations into DFL anti-Americanism. Why waste time investigating the obvious?
