Adviser: Bachmann likely to enter WH race

Dude, it's a new decade. That was 2008. Okay? We are talking about the next smear campaign. The last one is over.

If Bachmann and Obama go against each other 2012, it would be awful for America... but the sheer hilarity of it might make up for everything else..
 
I listen to NPR in snatches, while I'm working. Listen to some of the AM crowd for as long as I can stand it (Boortz, Ingraham, Beck for laughs, Hannity, Savage, et al, the usual bootlicks). The thing about the AM crowd is it is the same thing every day, all day. We're good, Obama bad. Repeated all day by the whole gang. It gets tiresome very quickly.

ewwww... I can't Stand savage. Don't get Boortz. Used to love Ingraham but now just catch her on Fox. Catch some of Beck, some of Rush and some of Hannity almost every day.

You know, the thing is she is as smart as a whip. It's just that she can not keep her big mouth from saying unbelievably stupid things.

Well, they all make their money by saying exciting and controversial things, but Savage seems to be the most grating of the lot. He is good for laughs, though, like Beck.

Boortz is a bore. I really don't like any of them, but there is nothing else on tha AM in this area.
 
obama considered the hater wright from the gd church of chickens roosting his SPIRITUAL MENTOR

he COPPED the TITLE for his book---audacity of hope---from this extremely influential and longtime family friend

before he ended up throwing the good rev under his BUS, that is

obama hired an outright racist and conspiracy kook to be his green energy czar

he got a guy who produced the infamous FISTGATES at tufts to be his SAFE SCHOOLS czar

he brought in a guy who thinks all hunting should be banned and animals should have legal standing to sue their owners, another who wrote a textbook that considered forced abortion and sterilization as population control measures

donald berwick, his health care guy, opined that redistribution is a GOAL and RATIONING is necessary

eric holder...

well, if one began enumerating the eccentricities of the ag there would be no end

the ed secty, duncan, was the ceo of chicago's schools during the WAVE OF VIOLENCE that saw a couple schoolkids shot DEAD by some other windy city student each month

duncan couldn't even get the kids to and from class ALIVE

yup, that ms bachmann's a nutter, alright

it all comes down to VALUES, fellas

Of all the reasons to not like Obama, his associations are on the bottom of my list, even when he was campaigning..

Here's what Holder is spending his time on these days.



Eric Holder sues school for Muslim who was refused Muslim pilgrimage leave - Vancouver American Politics | Examiner.com

The Chicago-area school district is a party in a lawsuit filed in Chicago federal court just this past Monday, and it’s all on behalf of a Muslim woman by the name of Safoorah Khan. It seems that Khan thought that McArthur Middle School had a duty to accommodate her demands to give her leave for three whole weeks in 2008 so she could attend the hajj. When the school refused her request, Khan became vindictive and somehow got Holder to sue for her.

I imagine a nutter has nutter values. Anyway, the nutters tend to lose elections. Remember Ms. O'Donnel, who you backed in the last election? She was a nutter, and was blown away in the election, which I believe was in your area. For you to back another nutter would mean you don't learn from history.
 
Of all the reasons to not like Obama, his associations are on the bottom of my list, even when he was campaigning..

My guess is you approve of his associations.

My guess is if a Republican candidate had friends in the KKK or right wing militia you'd have plenty to say about it. I know I would.
 
Ok, I guess I get his point, still not sure I agree with it. Seems conservatives are called dumb more often than liberals are. However, they are called evil more often than liberals are too. Ahhha, Liberals are name callers.:lol:
Herman Cain says this about them, they Shift the subject, Ignore the facts, and Name call.

I think Herman Cain is right, and we can see evidence of that on these boards everyday. It would be unfair to give open examples but we could both come up with a few.

meanwhile:

do you remember the time he proved he was so unfamiliar and outta touch with american VALUES that he couldn't even pronounce the words, marine corPs

remember when he assured his nervous caucus, heading into tsunami tuesday, that the difference between NOW and 1994 is "you've got me"

how bout the time he buzzed manhattan in his af1 to get a good photo op

was that before or after his visit to our 57 states

remember when he attempted to dismiss the grassroots tea partiers who ultimately turned tsunami tuesday as just a buncha astroturf traders

how bout his weekend whoosh to copenhagen to win them olympics for chicago

what do you think of what's going on in libya---are we gonna get gadaffi or not, is it a no-fly or an assault against ground forces, regime change or no, who's in charge, when's the turnover, when's the exit, how's the exit, where's the payfor...

thank goodness it's not a war, it's just KINETICS

why did he consult the internationals while bypassing congress and the american people

and are YOU, for example, in the MOOD for a little bitta NATION BUILDING these days

he shouldn't have let pelosi and reid write that STIMULUS, he should have known what the product what be, almost a trillion dollars of the traditional PORK that has had americans alternately moaning and LOL'ing for two generations---a million dollars for turtle tunnels, a half mil to study the mating habits of rodents on cocaine, a snow machine for minnesota...

he shouldn't have let reid and pelosi write that OBAMACARE, they should never have attempted to CRIMINALIZE the practice of BREATHING without insurance

they probably weren't real PRUDENT to suggest JAIL TIME for those who nonconform

they shouldn't have passed CAP AND TRADE thru the house before fighting the health care war

why are they trying to tax ENERGY, both production and consumption, in the midst of our malaise

it's positively unamerican

remember when they were all set to DEEM their damn thing

that was just a few days before they ended up RECONCILING it

fdr and lbj would never have tried radical reforms like social security, medicare and civil rights via CRAM

ie, with NO political COVER

when's he gonna meet with the leaders of iran, without preconditions, another high iq initiative

remember when he climbed the pyramid outside cairo to reach out to the muslim world to change america's image abroad

isn't OBAMA'S WAR in afghanistan ultimately reliant upon the efficacies of karzai and zardari for our longterm success

do YOU have faith in afghanization and the pakistanis whom wik revealed are SELLING US OUT

can you blame them when obama announced, simultaneous with his ESCALATION over there, our PULLOUT date

knowing what happens to collaborationists in our wake, that is

why did he proclaim iran's right to nuclear power

how bout that FOX NEWS WAR, real bright

what happened to the "jobs saved or created" nomenclature

what happened to that suddenly obscene s-word

what happened to the promise to cut the deficit in half in four years

why did he PUNT the bush tax cuts until december 31, 2010

do you recall when geithner and summers went on the sunday talks to suggest raising taxes on the MIDDLE CLASS

how bout the time he got caught talking behind americans' backs, disparaging the part of the electorate that clings to bibles and guns

what about all these hhs EXEMPTIONS for the thousand too bigs from obamacare's yearly requirements

why couldn't he see these things coming in advance

millions of us could, indeed, we enthusiastically WARNED him

his home affordability program---half those hamped have already redefaulted

what's his answer TODAY

where does he stand per the mexican drug cartels (aside from selling em thousands of assault rifles)

how bout the time he tried to include ACORN in the census count

remember when he excluded the public and the press from his OPENNESS summit

remember gates and crowley

remember when he blamed the secret service, which would take a BULLET for him, for the sohalis

how bout the time he sent holder to congress totally unprepared, who proceeded to preconvict ksm and mutallab on national tv

how bout the time holder testified he HADN'T READ arizona's immigration law

why did NINETY senators slam dunk his gitmo closure

obama's meetings with hu---the national journal described them as america's RODNEY DANGERFIELD moment, the nyt said "obama's economic views REJECTED on world stage," the highly prestigious cfr called it "AMATEUR HOUR at the white house," der spiegel said "obama's NICE GUY ACT gets him nowhere on world stage"

did you hear HILLARY'S camp last week, how she just COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, all the INDECISION, all the AMATEURS

Why do you consider yourself independent? You sound like a Conservative based on this statement.

I think most people fall into the Middle, SheWolf. I have voted in different directions depending on the requirements of the times. Right now, and for the past few years I feel governments needed be more Conservative, lower expectations for people in the form of straight and honest talk.

Canada has had a minority Conservative government for the last few years. Canadians seem to have been happy with it (in a spirit of compromise) and the country is not in serious debt nor are programs considered to be essential by many in jeopardy. No sign yet of any rioting over any government programs, which is becoming rare in the democracies.

There are times when Conservatism is called for, especially in a countries finances. The spending of other people's money, money they could be using for themselves or their families, is a serious business and effects people's standard of living enormously. I've never met a politician yet who could spend my money better than I could.

In their hearts they know all this to be true but they cannot bring themselves to admiit it. Instead they'll not respond, or say that Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman would be even worse. It will not slow them down in referring to either of these women as "idiots" and the like. They just can't seem to compute facts they don't want to hear.
 
who, ME?

LOL!

You wanted her elected, whether you are from her area or not. My point was you backed a nutty candidate who lost badly, you wanted her to be elected rather than the Democrat, no matter how crazy she was.

Now you seem to be doing it again, with Bachmann. Surely she would never be nominated, but if she were I think we would see the same type of beating O'Donnell got.

Just hear what she says about how skin color never mattered in America, and tell me you still think Michele Bachmann isn't dumb.

there's nothing worse than an obama democrat, talk about nutters

As predicted!

What should be seriously considered is not how dumb a candidate might be but how smart the candidate is, what their policies might be that can help the country.

Certainly BHO made some gaffes, like saying there were 57 states, but we should be smart enough to realize that under constant pressure and the media hanging on every word, looking for gotchas, that sometimes these errors will happen.

But if you look for gaffes without looking for intelligent polices and the bigger picture you're going to wind up with another Barrack Obama, and which of his actual policies would you now support?

The point is your party needs to nominate somebody who has a chance of winning. Michelle Bachmann is not that person. Do you not realize that? She's what this thread is about. People know her name only because she constantly says stupid things on video or TV.

you need to worry about your party

we can manage ours---most house seats since 38, most state reps and leg's in history...

did you hear our leadership is gonna DEMAND a bba in return for the DEBT CEILING

Senate GOP Demand Balanced Budget Amendment for Raising Debt Ceiling - HUMAN EVENTS

how are manchin, mccaskill, webb, nelson, nelson, tester, kohl, conrad, casey, et al, gonna REACT to that little gambit

why, even DIFI out here on the left coast is gonna be PINCHED

she's gonna face the voters of this state after having NIXED a bonafide palliative like a bba?

in return for the party's being allowed to BORROW more?

Yeah, but those pesky elections, they swing from one party to another. And I don't hear much about new bills to phase out social security or do many of the other meaningful things that would really make a difference with the debt, so where are the responsible Republicans? The ones who were elected to make a difference, and compel people to continue voting for them? Have they started that 'conversation' yet, the one about social security and medicare? Haven't heard them discussing that yet.

Perhaps she also occasionally says intelligent things, which is why she has some widespread support. Or do you think her suppporters believe stupid things?

In fact they have and if you were to follow the platform of both parties you'd quickly become aware of these 'conversations'.

No. What I said was people only know her name because of the stupid things she says in front of cameras.

Don't know or care what her supporters believe.

You did notice earlier in the thread where I made a positive comment on her intelligence? She is smart. But she says stupid things. Therefore she would be a bad choice for a national candidate.
 
In fact they have and if you were to follow the platform of both parties you'd quickly become aware of these 'conversations'.

I did see where the Republicans voted for privatization, which is okay with me. But do they have the balls to really do something about the entitlements? I guess we'll see.
