Bachmann hands out ‘Bachmann 12′ shirts at CPAC

Further fueling the speculation that Rep. Michele Bachmann may be making a bid for the White House in 2012, she handed out jerseys with “Bachmann” on the front and “12″ on the back at a reception Thursday evening. As promised, Bachmann also gave away vouchers for free drinks as she collected information from attendees at CPAC, an annual gathering of conservatives which has drawn over 11,000 attendees this week.
While Bachmann’s spokesman Sergio Gor said the “12″ was a reference to the 12 Apostles and meant to convey “Obama out in 2012,” the information gathering that Bachmann conducted in order for attendees to receive their shirts and free drinks suggests the number could also mean a run for president — or, at the very least, perhaps it was part of her campaign to win the CPAC presidential straw poll.
Minnesota Public Radio reporters Mark Zdechlik and Brett Neely attended the reception: “Bachmann staff members asked them to line up and were handing out forms for each to fill out. From a glance at a distance, the forms included information about where the attendees go to school and their email addresses…. While many of the Bachmann fans in line are too young to become major political donors, by gathering their email addresses, Bachmann’s organization could be creating a mailing list it can use to recruit volunteers for future campaigns.”

and once again she is not doing her job but promoting her advancement.
If you didn’t show up for your job, and spent all your time promoting a job somewhere else in a couple years, wouldn’t you be fired?

Wouldn’t it be fun to infiltrate her campaign as a “volunteer” just to see how they do things? How they brainwash people? What kind of trash talk they promote? Could be a blast!!

Does she really expect anyone is going to believe her explanation for the “12″? Except, of course, her followers, who will believe anything she says.

Well at least she looked in to the right camera this time, and it seems she cut back on her “liberal” overuse of dark eyeliner which made her look one of the Living Dead! Now, if only she weren’t so fact-challenged (sigh…).

You people don’t deserve political leaders like Bachmann. She wants everyone to be free and you’d rather live as slaves.

“You people don’t deserve political leaders like Bachmann.”
Very true, Dennis, very true. Unfortunately, as you have doubtless observed, there is a large group of ignorant, mindless voters who believe anything she says. These sheep will vote for her regardless of how absurd she presents herself. It truly is unfortunate that those idiots are allowed to vote, right, Dennis? Doesn’t it infuriate you when people here her psychedelic theocratic ramblings and think that she somehow represents freedom?

Well Randy, I notice you couldn’t refute anything that I or she said.
It’s true. This nation has devolved into one where the people fear and resent anyone who would make them live as free men.

@Dennis
I have no idea where you get your concepts to what it means to be free. Cause Michelle stands for indoctrinating terms of life which is not free.

There should be free drinks for all whenever she is on TV.

No, Dennis, I can’t refute anything either of you have said. It would be like trying to tell the crazy person ranting on the street corner that aliens have not been sending him signals. There is no such thing as a refutation of a delusion.
