He didn't say that. Right-wing absolutism rears its head yet again!

how would you interpret this?

"The last 4 GOP Presidents have been bumpkins... they're depended on the bumpkin image and the bumpkin vote... what else would you call them dear?"

In complete agreement, in fact, can assure you that myself will never accuse him of being intelligent or smart.

I can't wait for Bachman in debates. LOL! That woman will say anything with total and complete disregard for facts. I'll be great. She has no chance of course, but why not have some fun?

Conservative voters like candidates that don't know anything. They interpret knowledge as a form of elitism.

Yes, anyone who isn't a Liberal must be a bumpkin.

No son, there hasn't been a GOP President who could be called an intellectual since.... well 30 years.

Clinton was Rhodes Scholar, Obama graduated top of his class, Jimmy Carter graduated near the top of his class.

Reagan never made it past a BA, Bush Sr got a BA in economics, Bush Jr got a degree in history...

Again, as I've stated many times, the right doesn't have an intellectual leader to save its soul. Mostly bumpkins who barely make it through school and get by based on popularity.

:shrug:

The right wing in this country and many others survives based on the support of farmers and country folks. Don't like it? Take it up with Nixon. The last intellectual in the GOP. He decided to try something called "The Southern Strategy".

Bachman knows that the best way for the government to fix the economy, is for the government to get the hell out of the way and stop scaring the crap out of the private sector with threats of higher taxes and over-regulation; which puts her miles ahead of O'Bama in the brains department. Although, I don't think O'Bama is screwing the country up because he's stupid, rather he's doing it on purpose, because he hates America.

Bachman knows where America is located on the map.
 
The GOP held a debate last night ... did anybody even notice? Anyone see any polls on it? I can't find any.

That's some serious bigotry, right there.

If you think O'Bama has a snowball's chance in hell of even getting re-elected, regardless of who he runs against, it shows how hyperpartisan you are.

He does have a chance of being reelected. Bush was reelected and he was major **** up, and you probably voted for him twice. There are people who are going to keep voting for **** ups because of their party, and nothing else. Bush doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to win any other public office the rest of his life... lol. Obama isn't as bad as Bush's 2nd term. If you can't admit that, then you hate the truth.

Don't know how old she is, but there is nothing wrong with showing your age a little... She looked great before, now her face is super tight and unnatural looking, it makes her look older.
 
WhyteRash said:
exactly my feelings about her.. along with term "hypocrite"..
did she raise her kids or did nanny's raise them and she took the credit? kind of like those people who claim to rennovate or restore, but they didnt do anything but sign the checks.

also, they shouldve asked about subsidies, including farm subsidies and directed the question to her.
they had no problem calling out romney time and again for hypocracy.

IMO, its very big of her to use democratic supported programs to enrich herself.

Yeah, it's true that a lot of people take foster kids for the government money.... and a lot of foster kids can be a pain the ass, especially the one's that have been in the system for a long time. I know somebody who takes them in, and she has a bunch of stories about the kids being ungrateful and knowing they get money, and they try to get their foster parents to buy them **** and throw fits if they don't. They are like regular teens and preteens, according to her, but it really sucks when they don't say thanks or show you respect.

If you're that sure you should really go to in-trade and bet against Obama. You could sell your house and put your life savings up there because its a sure thing. Go for it...

What are any of the other dirtbag politicians going to run run that you're so eager to vote for?

You can't inject government money to bail out a company, then declare that it's suddenly profitable.

And you made this statement after analyzing and comparing their balance sheets... :roll:

Well, there are a lot of different factions in the party, but for some people in the party, I'd say that probably applies and so does the bumpkin image... Or the bumpkin, southern hick imagine, tends to be republican, and the south tends to go red. lol. How many redneck gun owners are democrat?

Nobody is suddenly and simply declaring it's profitable. It is profitable. It's reality. Chrysler is profitable, otherwise Fiat wouldn't have invested in Chrysler or any investors on Wall St. As for GM, it's pretty obvious they are profitable.

There shares are up and trading and turning investors a profit...

Yep, they are profitable. You can't simply declare they are not profitable. Economics isn't voodoo, nor is making a profit in the free market a matter of subjectivity. Value is subjective, but monetary gain and asset wealth management is not a matter of subjectivity.

I really don't understand how some of you can blow a bunch hot air up the president's ass when it comes to the economy, and then prove you don't really understand economics and expect to be taken seriously.

Me too. Or if the one term president Obama has not already screwed it up, unleash the Israelis to do our dirty work. I prefer we do it. B-2s all the way.

You literally just expressed support for the murder of millions of people.
 
Yikes. The republican's must have winced at that one. All she will do is draw needed votes from a conservative who will actually make any significant headway.

Ah yes, the good 'ol anti-Arab cowboy talk :roll:--a traditional technique used by GOP candidates to one-up their opponents in elections.

Can I try. . .?

Solletica: "I say nuke the whole damn Middle East. Let's turn Ahmadinejad and Khadafy into glass."

Associated Press. June 15, 2011. Newcomer GOP Candidate Tops Polls
-- A national poll taken by Gallup revealed that controversial Internet forum poster Solletica, who just yesterday announced her candidacy as a Republican for President, currently leads Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachman and Alaskan ex-governor Sarah Palin by more than 15 percentage points. Sources close to the. . .
