I Swear, Michelle Bachmann Could not Be Dumber.

I liked this assessment by someone else.

Now in her third House term, Bachmann has never had a bill or resolution she’s sponsored signed into law, and she’s never wielded a committee gavel, either at the full or subcommittee level. Bachmann’s amendments and bills have rarely been considered by any committee, even with the House under GOP control. In a chamber that rewards substantive policy work and insider maneuvering, Bachmann has shunned the inside game, choosing to be more of a bomb thrower than a legislator.

 

So, how's that thing working out where you are allowing your child to date an adult?

 

Wow! Where did that come from? The reaction of a cornered animal? I don't know what your interest could possibly be other than a vicarious experience.... and now I'm too creeped out to continue. Yuck!

 

Many here have been saying the same thing about your actions as a parent...

 

But I will bet she voted (other than present) more than BO.

 

All while actually knowing nothing. I think that is called gossip. Do you actually have a point or is this line of questioning just the desperation of a stupid scared animal? I really can't tell.

 

How about because there are people like you who hold the value of a whale's life more important than that of a human being. I guess you need to make another post in that thread, don't you?

 

To anyone reading this thread, David's interpretation is exactly right, despite this most recent attempt to spin and dodge.

BTW, you shouldn't criticize Bachman for making an occasional stupid remark. After all, you say something stupid every time you post!

 

He was too busy playing John Wayne on the world stage for all to witness, for all the wrong reasons. Eh...anybody can make a mistake.

 

Oh Bachmann, just keep talking...

Michele Bachmann Says John Quincy Adams Was 'One Of Our Founding Fathers,' Flubs Slavery Remarks


During an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was given an opportunity to set the record straight with regard to comments she made earlier this year lauding the nation's Founding Fathers for working "tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”
ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked the conservative congresswoman to address the statement, noting that many of the country's Founding Fathers, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, in fact had slaves and that slavery wasn't abolished until the Civil War. Here's an excerpt of the exchange that went down:
Bachmann: Well you know what’s marvelous is that in this country and under our constitution, we have the ability when we recognize that something is wrong to change it. And that’s what we did in our country. We changed it. We no longer have slavery. That’s a good thing. And what our Constitution has done for our nation is to give us the basis of freedom unparalleled in the rest of the world.
Stephanopoulos: I agree with that…
Bachmann: That’s what people want...they realize our government is taking away our freedom.
Stephanopoulos: But that’s not what you said. You said that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery.
Bachmann: Well if you look at one of our Founding Fathers, John Quincy Adams, that’s absolutely true. He was a very young boy when he was with his father serving essentially as his father’s secretary. He tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did in fact one day eradicate slavery...
Stephanopoulos: He wasn’t one of the Founding Fathers – he was a president, he was a Secretary of State, he was a member of Congress, you’re right he did work to end slavery decades later. But so you are standing by this comment that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery?

 

Eh, I'm "iffy" on this one. John Quincy Adams's father, John Adams, was a Founding Father and JQ grew up around all that and in the era of the Founding Fathers. Later when he entered politics, JQ was an advocate of ending slavery, though unfortunately it didn't happen in his lifetime. I'd say he had the spirit of the Founding Fathers within him anyway.

Cut the lady some slack. After all, she's not telling deliberate lies about being "under sniper fire attack" or anything like that.

 

Once or twice is a misspeak. I get that. But when Bachmann says that the Founding fathers worked tirelessly until slavery was ended and then refuses to correct the statement, I raise an eyebrow. When she lies about taking money from the family business, my eyebrow raises a little further. When she says, "The president released all of the oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve." Both eyebrows go up. When she calls for congress to be investigated for un-American activities, it isn't my eyebrow that is raised as much as it is a large red flag that this woman is not only stupid but dangerous.

 

How about lying by omission. Maybe they have issued more than 60 shallow-water drilling permits, but how many did they used to issue before BO? Interesting, but that used to be 5+ per week. Translation, the administration is issuing shallow-water drilling permits at about 20% the rate they used to be issues. I could not find an exact number of deep water permits, but Conoco alone got 15 permits in 2008 and Exxon, Cheveron, and Shell are also major players. My assumption is that deep water permits are down a corresponding 80% (moen math).

BTW “The deep water will provide one-fourth of the domestic oil production in the US. If further development does not occur, we will end up importing another 20% over and above what we would have imported anyway,” Brand said January 2011 - Improving drilling safety in deep water So here is more lying by omission. In BO's speech today, it was all "congress can". Well, here is a "BO can", but he won't get off his pipe dream that we should not have any more oil.

 

You guys crack me up. The subject of this thread isn't about who said the dumest thing in history. JQ Adams was not a founding father because his dad was. That's like saying Andrew Jackson was one too because he was alive during colonization. So she said some dumb things. Hasn't every politician? I like that she said NH was where ''The shot heard 'round the world'' was fired. Everyone on knows it was Iowa. Waterloo to be exact.

 

She either needs to give up talking, get a better speech writer or use a teleprompter because the target on her back is not going to go away.

 

How many eyebrows do you have, for crying out loud? By the way, when she calls for congress to do anything in that sultry ohh so sexy voice, its not my eyrbow that is raised either.

 

Who said he was?

 

I can't wait for her comments about Napoleon’s demise in Waterloo Iowa. That French lunatic was no match for those darn Evangelists for gosh darn sakes.

 

Just the one.
