Bachmann

With the 2010 Minnesota gubernatorial race approaching, and Representative Michelle Bachmann still mum on whether or not she will run, the Democratic Governors Association has launched DraftBachmann.com, a hoax website ironically supporting her potential candidacy.

"If Michele Bachmann knows anything, it's that out-dated ideas -- like helping the middle class -- are ruining this country. And in a year when hospitals are struggling, teachers are being laid off and road repairs are delayed, Bachmann's ideas are exactly what we need if we are going to truly protect our billionaires."

The website urges people to pick a Fourth of July e-card to send out to friends and family. Each of the cards exhibits a prime Bachmann quotation.

Michelle Bachmann on global warming:
"...it's all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax."

Michelle Bachmann on common sense job creation:
"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage... we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."

Michelle Bachmann on Barack Obama:
"I'm very concerned that [Barack Obama] may have anti-American views."

Michelle Bachmann on science:
"Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being? There's a real lack of evidence from change from actual species to a different type of species. That's where it's difficult to prove."

Michelle Bachmann on setting life goals:
"My number one goal is to not go to jail."

Michelle Bachmann on Congress:
"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-American or anti-American."

I think one of the great bottom-lines...
what makes so many people look so foolish
(because they are)
is....
wait for it now....

BAD RELIGION.

I once had bad religion
and thank the Presbyterian Church USA
and progressive writers like Marcus Borg
with settling me back into sensible, rational religion.

Don't say there's no such think until you've read guys like Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, Bishop John Shelby Spong, Hans Kung etc.

The website domain is off by one letter. It should be DaftBachmann.

She's way too dull witted to be called a demagogue.

Huey Long, now THERE was a demagogue!

Doesn't that assume she has some kind of message that has widespread appeal? Her appeal is limited to those wearing aluminum foil hats.

To be fair, most who voted for her could not have imagined she would turn out this insane...could they?

How will she survive as a candidate in 2010 .. or even make it to 2010 at this pace?

She is attractive woman, sure.

It happens - look at Palin - same story.

With Republican presidential hopefuls dropping weekly they may end up with Bachmann as a front runner in 2012!
Bwahahahaha! Who's next to fall from grace?

Michele Bachman, our last greatest hope of defense against Obama's re-education camps for young people and detecting those UnAmerican congress people in our gov... not to mention her nuanced understanding of science, global warming, CO2 and Greenhouse gases, Evolution, etc... My goodness, why wouldn't we want her to become Governor?
Even Dubya said "I don't do nuance." We see that Michele has embraced this as a personal philosophy.
Michele Bachman is an inspiration.
Living proof that nuanced intellectual understanding of any issue is beside the point. It is the foundation of the GOP mindset. Its a big emotional world full of FEAR and there is no time for fact checking. The sky is falling, damnit, and we don't have time for diplomacy and intelligent engagement.

As governor, she will be better positioned to find out how many people in Minnesota have anti-American views.

It would be great if she would run for governor, but only if she gives up her House seat.

I really, really, really, really hope the people of MN have the good sense "not to vote for this kook for ANY office" ever again.
