Michelle Bachman says crazy things

[Townsend]

I mean I agree Conan.  She's got no chance just like most that have announced so far.

But Jesus, people actually listen to her crap and believe in her.

We might as well have Sally Kern run with her.  Finish loading up the crazy train and ship it off to "Shhhhdidyouhearthat?Ithinkthey'reallcomingtogetus" town.

Guys, you are missing the point.  I'm quite well aware she's entered the race.  It's not a serious candidacy, it's about keeping the Tea Party at the forefront.

Unless she's suffering from megalomania, she's looking for a #2 on the ticket or a spot in the admin.  She doesn't have a chance, but she could bring votes and $$ from Tea Party supporters to a viable candidate.  If she doesn't land on a ticket but endorses, she brings a good voting bloc.

Don't forget the bump in speaking fees she will get from running. That's why I think Palin is flirting with running when she knows she has no shot at winning.

On a side note about Palin, I think Bristol doesn't want to be around mama bear. Sarah buys a house in Scottsdale, Bristol moved to LA and put her house here up for rent.

She's got her own career to worry about.  Gotta get out of that shadow of crazy and produce her own.

Anyway, back to Bachmann.

What must be a result of multiple brain injuries, she might actually believe she's really got a chance of winning and doing what she thinks is good.

[Red Arrow]

I wonder what state she took the test in.

The State of Confusion

LOL

good one though

Conan,
You really view her as a powerful woman??

I read something early this morning suggesting Bachman would be a good VP pick for presumed front runner Romney.  She'd bring in the tea party extremists and religious fundies while he'd appeal the the more moderate Republican establishment.

Wait...there's a difference?

I keed I keed.

This isn't half bad for strategy.  And Conan's right, at least as far Bachman's run.  She isn't in it to win, precisely . . . she's in it to raise her profile.  Like I said a ways back, Bachman had the stones to jump in and grab the reigns of the Tea Party like really no other establishment figure. She bested Palin at her own game, IMO, which makes her the superior ideologue.  So, yeah, she brings a major interest group with her.

Here is the anti-Bachmann crowd on display. Way to go RM, et. al.!

[RecycleMichael]

One person talking about Michelle Bachman does not make "a crowd". If that is all you can find, you are lame.

FIFY

[guido911]

If that is all you can find, you are lame.

Then there is, let's see, YOU and others that are deathly afraid of strong, conservative women. Wee Wang syndrome?  And this:

I even read an article talking about how she profited by being a foster parent. Who knew I was raking it in when I foster parented? How much did you profit by taking in and helping abused or neglected children?
