Bachmann: Wackiness will out itself in time

If Nancy Pelosi can be the House Speaker and be second in line to take over the presidency, Michelle Bachmann is more than just qualified.

In the harsh glare of the national spotlight, wackiness will out itself in time.

Oh yes, it will be outed. But it works for her. Detractors get lambasted and she gets the sympathy vote as a result. Poor, poor Bachmann being picked on by all those elites!

But like Cain, she is not someone to be taken seriously as a potential occupant of the White House.

Disagree here. I think she is just crazy enough to get the nomination in the primaries in enough places to make her a serious contender. After that, all it takes is a Karl Rove-like set of maneuvers to dupe the American public into believing that The Chosen One has finally arrived, and that anything people might say about her like she’s not a serious candidate, or that she is crazy, is really just the elites or the liberals or some enemy out to stop God’s mission. Sadly, this still speaks well to too much of the American public.

I’m not sure if there are odds on it, but I’m thinking 10 – 1 that she does…

And the “hits” just keep on coming…

WASHINGTON • Michele Bachmann’s claim that she has “never gotten a penny” from a family farm that’s been subsidized by the government is at odds with her financial disclosure statements. They show tens of thousands in personal income from the operation.

Bachmann’s wildly off-base assertion last month that a NATO airstrike might have killed as many as 30,000 Libyan civilians, her misrepresentations of the health care law, misfires on other aspects of President Barack Obama’s record and historical inaccuracies have saddled her with a reputation for uttering populist jibes that don’t hold up. On Tuesday, she erred in describing John Quincy Adams as a Founding Father.

I wish I shared your optimism here. Unlike the others, she can come across “acceptable” and even last p.m. the trio I was mentioning, who are normally rather restrained in their gushing and to the liberal left in their outlooks, were themselves “crediting” how she explained her way out of them up to and including that horse sh*t one on Obama’s India trip. I’m telling ya, Bro, it scared me.

Sister Sarah was/is, well, an easy target. Newt cooks his own loose goose. Caine is a fruitcake and since he has chocolate icing, the left won’t let up on him to prove they’re not racist. The other also rans together don’t have the pizazz of a three-day-old dog t*rd. That leaves Romney as the only one on that side who, by comparison, looks like a wise elder statesman. She may well be putting him in the shade.

That might be an immediate gratification to the Democrats in hopes the Bruin’s right that wackiness will out itself…but all it takes is one good scandal on the Obama campaign or one major catastrophe in the summer-fall of 2012, and there she’ll be…

jewcowboy,

I got a better one for you since it pertains to the everyday realities of life faced by millions of Americans.

These numbers come in the context of an earlier Obama promise that his recovery plan will “save or create three to four million jobs over the next two years.”

Yeah jewcowboy, please show me how the man can claim to save or create jobs when its a fictional state to begin with. What manner of a fool would say such a thing and even worse what manner of a fool would believe an absurd statement about jobs “created or saved”.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124451592762396883.html

“Saved or created” has become the signature phrase for Barack Obama as he describes what his stimulus is doing for American jobs. His latest invocation came yesterday, when the president declared that the stimulus had already saved or created at least 150,000 American jobs — and announced he was ramping up some of the stimulus spending so he could “save or create” an additional 600,000 jobs this summer. These numbers come in the context of an earlier Obama promise that his recovery plan will “save or create three to four million jobs over the next two years.”

“To begin with, the number is pure fiction — the administration has no way to measure how many jobs are actually being ’saved.’

Of course, the inability to measure Mr. Obama’s jobs formula is part of its attraction. Never mind that no one — not the Labor Department, not the Treasury, not the Bureau of Labor Statistics — actually measures “jobs saved.” As the New York Times delicately reports, Mr. Obama’s jobs claims are “based on macroeconomic estimates, not an actual counting of jobs.” Nice work if you can get away with it.

Not exactly. Read on.

“Explain more to us then what should be concluded by those 2 statements back to back?”

They weren’t back-to-back. You left something out. Here’s what I *actually* said:

“You don’t see many libs dissing Republican women like Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. That would be because they’ve got some class and intelligence, and because they don’t go around talking a lot of smack like Palin and Bachmann do.”

IMO, Collins and Snowe DO have class and intelligence. They exhibit a great deal more patience, collegiality and good will than do Bachmann and Palin. They’re willing to show some flexibility — not blind adherence to the GOP position — in order to get things done. They know that you can’t make things happen in Washington by pounding your fist on the table and demanding that things go your way, and you never see them on the news denigrating or insulting their fellow Americans — not even Democrats.

For their part, Palin and Bachmann talk a lot of smack, IMO. And that’s in addition to not exhibiting the positive personality traits of class and intelligence that I think Snowe and Collins possess.

“Seems to me as if you are saying exactly that. If not please explain further.”

Done. Do you need further elaboration?

“Maybe if i met your wife i would understand why your subconscience comes out on a blog,”

“instead of real life. Are you affraid to speak about women or you wife that way to your wife?”

My wife knows I post here and what handle I use. In fact, she enjoyed the tussle Dave and I had a couple of weeks ago over NATO.

My wife and I are open and honest with each other, and on the subjects of Snowe, Palin, Collins and Bachmann, we are largely in agreement. Except that my wife is much less charitable towards Snowe and Collins than I am.

Jewcowboy,

If you’re going to post an article supporting your position then the least you can do is read your own article. The article opens with jennifer granholm dem governor of Michigan which has a pony in this fight stating that the auto industry collapse would mean 14 million jobs. The rest of the article is about how misleading this stat is- that its a completely bogus number and that it also comes from an auto industry study. You must have missed all that.

The second point is that Ford didn’t need the money anyway,

The third point is that if the Feds hadn’t bailed out Chrysler it in no way, shape or form means 14 millions jobs would have been lost- or even 100,000. Chrysler would have sought bankruptcy and kept operating, sold off its profitable jeep division, and or merged or been bought by a stronger car company. So you can’t even logically say that one Chrysler job would have been saved because you don’t know what would have happened.

Fourthly, as I’ve pointed out your own link contradicts your point of view and the 14 million stat that you just posted was blown completely out of the water BY YOUR OWN LINK.

“Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth’s lifecycle. And yet we’re being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in Earth.” ~ Michele Bachmann

Obama was taken “seriously” for the reasons you stated. He won because the economy went into tailspin right there at the last minute. All it takes is one last minute scandal or one last minute crisis. Then Matti and Granny will be singing a different tune.

Jay. It is so early in the running of the race. Some get out of the gate real fast. Others catch up within closing for the stretch run. Why are you so dismissive of the candidates now? Did you have these same thoughts about Hillary in 2008 race so early on? An emphatic NO!!! She has good trainers and will not become wacky as suggested – - – only media gets more wacky every day.

We breath in Oxygen and breath out some carbon dioxide. I guess we should place a tax on the amount of carbon dioxide we emit so we can generate more revenues for liberal programs and save the planet from global warming.

I beg to disagree…it was pretty much neck and neck up until the tailspin. I don’t disagree that there was not a lot of dissatisfaction with the GOP, but the middle was undecided and it was the tailspin that put the Democrats over the edge. All you have to do is to look at the margins in several of the key states to see that…

Jay continues on his quest to try to pick off the republican candidates one by one. If only someone in the gushing media (including Jay) would have properly vetted Obama in 2008, we would have all been better off. Granted, he would have probably won anyway because of the dismal offerings of the Republican party in that year and the dismal performance of the socialist George. W. Bush, but couldn’t someone have taken a closer look at Obama? Jay was all OK with electing one of the most under-qualified candidates to ever run for that office. And sadly, he will continue to support what I and most of the nation will come to know as the “The Big Mistake”.

Jay, at this point, are you not scared for the future of this country? Obama has done nothing to reverse the downward spiral we are caught in except to make it worse by insistance of more deficit spending. Are you not worried about the legacy that you are leaving for your children?

And because of our financial difficulties and the entitlement mentality that has enveloped America are you not afraid that we just may have end up as a society wherein our personnal freedoms are relinguished in exchange for some kind of menial government provided existance? There are millions of people in this country that have already made the decision to give over their freedom to the government and their promises. Aren’t you at least worried about this a little Jay? If you can’t see this as the end result of the road Obama and the progressives are proposing to take this nation, I pity you.

February 2010, Bachmann said the GOP’s 2012 nominee would need to be forthright with the American public about the need to “wean everybody off” Medicare and Social Security. Bachmann voted for the GOP’s plan to end Medicare, even though she later admitted she was concerned about the $6,000+ in additional annual health care costs that the plan would shift to seniors.

LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE

“An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her
and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a
conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total
stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”

Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no
Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.

“OK,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question
first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer
excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse
produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says,
“Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss why
there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don’t
know sh*t?”

And then she went back to reading her book”

Thulsa, GM was doomed without the money and nobody seriously disputes that. Do you think the stockholders ended up with nothing and the executive team agreed to leave because they could have survived without the money?- Jay,

Wrong Jay. Lots of people seriously dispute that. GM would most likely have filed chapter 13 reorganization bankruptcy. That doesn’t mean they would be out- they just would have restructured or merged with someone else. To cavalierly state that they were completely done without fed money is simply wrong.

2 more points to be made.

1- The U.S. taxpayer has not recouped all of his money and the latest I’ve read is that the taxpayer will lose minimally 1 billion on the deal

2- The Obama administration brazenly ignored U.S. law in the structuring of the deal with the arbitrary subordination of the secured bondholders to union interests. This is in violation of all legal precedent. How and why this president can just ignore U.S. law at a whim is beyond me. And the secured bondholders too. This is not an administration that adheres to the rule of law.

As Ford acknowledges, it too probably would have gone under except for the serendipitous fact that it had borrowed a huge amount of money for expansion overseas just before the implosion came, giving them enough money to tide them over. Without that happy accident, they would have been in much the same shape as GM and Chrysler.- Jay

Translation from Jay? That Ford just got lucky. “A happy accident?” Had nothing to do with good planning did it Jay? That one statement gives me a glimpse into your misunderstanding of capitalism. You think a company like Ford or an individual like a Bill Gates just got lucky. Had nothing to do with them doing their homework, working hard, or planning. They just got lucky. Darn good thing you don’t write for the business section.

Moderate Line,

“The bar is pretty low for being taken seriously.”

Please show me 10 batshyte crazy quotes from Obama before he was elected. It can be about the specific candidate…Cynthia McKinney had 10 years in the House, but never garnered 18% of the Democrats support in her attempt at the White House.
++++
Is 10 the requirement to make someone a non-serious canidate? I did not realize there was such a standard.

“I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances.” –after saying he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepared to take office, Washington, D.C., Nov. 7, 2008 (Obama later called Nancy Reagan to apologize)

“It’s embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is merci beaucoup.” Barack Hussein Obama, July 2008
However, it is interesting to me that Sarah Palin is criticized about Paul Revere and Obama doesn’t even know how many states there are. What do you think is bigger.

Usually who criticize and what we criticize is more of a reflection of who we are not who the person we are criticizing is. In think it would benefit the left if they did not criticize the intelligence of people who disagree with them. Just as I think it would benefit the right not to criticize peoples patriotism when they disagree with them.

Nancy also said that in the next election the Pubs will be the “incumbents” because they defeated nearly every House Dem that ran and took control of the House last November — a victory, by the way, that owed much to Ms. Pelosi for her handling of the Obamacare bill. But now they are the incumbents. Nancy surely must live in a strange fantasy world. But, being a wide-eyed Dem/Lib female ditz will never gain her the malevolent and vicous fear and loathing reserved for female conservatives, Palin, Bachmann, and black male conservatives, Cain, and Justice Thomas. How dare they . . . how dare they . . . become prominent, accomplished, and outspoken advocates for the conservative and now Tea Party causes? They are white females and male blacks. Don’t they know their place, their proper roles on the Great Liberal Federal Plantation? Ingrates! It is so interesting to watch how first, Thomas, then Palin, then Cain, and now Bachmann are covered and discussed on in the lame stream news media and on the lame stream networks and cable news channels. I thought Chris Matthews was going to self destruct today talking about Bachmann. He must have had tingles running over his whole body. It’s actually funny to watch. Like going to the zoo and laughing at the monkeys and wondering why they act the way they do? Sarah Palin drives a bus around with her name on it promoting herself (of course) and making personal appearances, and they foam at the mouth, twitch uncontrollably, and wet their pants. I can only ask why? And the only answer is – deny it all you want – fear. Plain old fashioned fear. If these conservative/tea party women ever catch on with the majority of women in America, and if black conservative males make even small inroads with black males getting them into the Pub/Tea Party side, the Dems have had it, and they know it. Personally, like many people, I can barely tolerate Palin, and neither her nor Bachmann are going to be the Pub candidate, thank God. But if the Pubs/Cons/TP have a lick of sense, they will keep these women out their churning things up as long as they can, just to keep the comic relief from the DEm/Lib/Left coming, as we head into the elections. It’s the best distraction we can hope for now that the Dems’ Weiner has been roasted.

Doomy is beginning to sound a lot like Bortz…. why wait for a death sentence….just start vigilante shootings. That always works out well.

“Wackiness”? Heck, they don’t get any more “wacked-out” than ME! HAHAHAHA!!! Why, hell, most of the time even I don’t know what’s gonna pop out of my own pie hole! And you guys think Palin and Bachmann are wacky? Look at Me! Geeez!

keep up,

Speaking of Doom he calls them “urban gentleman”. Vigilantes? Not quite. If a pack of thugs comes in to rob your store in a case of brazen criminality you should have the right to fight back. These thugs won’t be missed- except by bedwetting libs like yourself.
