Bachmann wants to take non existent US Embassy staff out of Iran

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:46:05 -0500

Bachmann wants to take non existent US Embassy staff out of Iran:

In light of the British Foreign Ministry pulling all U.K. nationals out of the British embassy in Tehran after students stormed the building in protest, GOP presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann told a crowd in Waverly, Iowa, today that she would close the U.S. embassy in Iran.

One small, tiny note: The U.S. hasn’t had an embassy in Tehran since 1980. Following the Iranian Hostage Crisis, where 52 Americans were held for 444 days, the United States cut all diplomatic ties.

According to reports, Bachmann applauded the U.K.’s move, adding, “That’s exactly what I would do [if I were president]. We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.”

Recall just a few weeks ago when Bachmann bragged to Fox News that she had a squeaky clean record.

“I haven’t had a gaffe or something that I’ve done that has caused me to fall in the polls,” she said.

I know it’s been a while since our last post, but damn, she’s still just as stupid.

Let’s reiterate what we just witnessed: a contender and one-time frontrunner for the nomination of the Republican Party declared that America should eliminate food stamps, Medicare and the expansion of Social Security, before stating that America should emulate China’s social safety net. And the Republican audience cheered her.

At some point the pearl clutchers and bipartisan fetishists are going to acknowledge that there is a political civil war in this country, that the right wing is going off the rails at an accelerated pace, and that these people represent a grave threat to democracy should they ever take power again.

It’s not just the Bachmanns of the world are living in a dystopic fantasyland. The GOP base is living there, too.

Michele Bachmann: Look To China On Social Program Cuts

Michele Bachmann: Look To China On Social Program Cuts:

Michele Bachmann made a curious suggestion during Saturday night’s Republican debate.

Fielding a question about which social programs she would cut if president, the Minnesota Congresswoman said that China provided a good example of a society without a social safety net. The fact that China’s government is resolutely socialist appeared to be lost on her.

Bachmann said that Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society has “not worked, and it’s put us into the modern welfare state…If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps.”

Michele, you really make it too easy for me.

Michele Bachmann Accuses Rick Perry Campaign Of Dirty Tricks After Tea Party Call To Quit

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 13:59:34 -0400

Michele Bachmann Accuses Rick Perry Campaign Of Dirty Tricks After Tea Party Call To Quit:

Michele Bachmann responded to the suggestion by a Tea Party group that she quit the presidential race by accusing Rick Perry of dirty tricks.

In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Friday, the Minnesota congresswoman blamed the Perry campaign for a blog post by American Majority calling for her to bow out of the 2012 race, though she admitted she had no evidence.

“Well, of course, we found out that this is really a misstep on the part of the Perry campaign because these are Perry supporters that came out,” Bachmann said. “This was a clumsy move. This was meant to be a stealth move to make it look like this was Tea Party, and apparently, these are Perry supporters that came out and it was just a clumsy move on their part to make this statement.”

“If Gov. Perry has something to say to me, he can come out to the debates and he say it. But this was clearly — this egg on the face, unfortunately, for the Perry campaign. It certainly isn’t a blow to my campaign because I’ve had non-stop support coming out of the woodwork from Tea Partiers all across the country ever since this came out,” Bachmann continued.

On Wednesday, American Majority’s president, Ned Ryun, wrote in a blog post that “It’s time for Michele Bachmann to go.”

“Since her meteoric rise this summer and win in the Iowa Straw poll, her campaign has been plagued by losses of top staff, lackluster fundraising and a seeming lack of direction,” he wrote. “It is clear that the campaign has become less about reform and more about her personal effort to stay relevant and sell books; a harsh commentary, but true.”

Blitzer asked Bachmann whether she had an evidence that the Perry campaign was behind the criticism.

“No, this is something that people have told us, that these are Perry supporters and they went out with this and this was meant to be a stealth move and it was clumsy,” Bachmann replied.

I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around this. The only thing I really can take away from this entire interview is that one of Michele’s new talking points is “Perry is clumsy”. Seriously, if she read the transcripts of her speaking she’d have to realize she sounds like an absolute moron. I also love how her own party is telling her to quit, and all she can do is blame other people, really shows her true character.

Michele Bachmann Criticizes Obama's Student Loan Plan

Michele Bachmann Criticizes Obama's Student Loan Plan :

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann criticized a directive by President Barack Obama to ease student loan debt as an “abuse of power” that will give people incentive to dodge debt.

The candidates reacted Thursday to a decision Obama announced a day earlier to cap required payments for some college loan borrowers at a lower percentage of their income and forgive payments for others after 20 years. He used executive authority to accelerate a law that wasn’t supposed to go into effect until 2014.

“I believe it is abuse of power from the executive to impose via an executive order a wholesale change in the student loan,” Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, said during an education forum in New York put on by The College Board and News Corp.

“There is a morality in keeping our financial promises, and I don’t think we should push that off onto the taxpayer,” she said. “The individual needs to repay and be responsible for repaying their student loan debt.”

There’s also a “morality” in making education affordable to everyone, but that’s something that is probably WAY over your head.

GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann isn’t shy about...

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:04:51 -0400

GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann isn’t shy about her desire to build wall on the U.S.-Mexico border fence. She even said the other day that she wants a “double-walled border” fence.

So when Bachmann was in San Francisco Thursday we — and the Shaky Hands Productions — crew asked her how she could consider herself a fiscal conservative who wants to slim down government when she advocates building a wall that is costing $21 million a MILE to build and $6.5 BIlLION more to maintain over 20 years.

(No, the Bachmann handlers didn’t physically block me or the Shaky Hand — as they did in Iowa – but they did cut me off when I asked the dreaded follow-up question: What is the source of the statistic you just cited?)

Following Tuesday night’s GOP debate in Las Vegas, Rep. Michele Bachmann picked up an endorsement from perhaps the Strip’s biggest star – Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton.

During a post-debate interview with Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, Newton, who kept his arm around Bachmann’s shoulder for the entire spot, twice called the Minnesota congresswoman a “beautiful lady” and endorsed her candidacy.

“It looks like you’re on a date,” Van Susteren said of the pair.

“I am an entertainer but first of all, I’m an American and second of all, I’m a Nevadan, and third of all, I will support this beautiful lady as long as she wants to go,” Newton said.

“I watched the entire debate, and I don’t have to tell you how proud I was of this lady because not only did she hold her own, but she kind of stood alone, and I’m not talking about being female,” said Newton, who was in the hall where the debate took place. “I’m talking about the wonderful things and views that she has for America.”

“It’s going to take electing this beautiful lady as president for things to really change because what it means is we have to get everybody back to work and we have to get people back in their homes,” Newton said.

Asked if she’d be cruising the strip looking for additional celebrity endorsements, Bachmann said: “Hey, why not?” she said. “We’ll take support everywhere we can, and it doesn’t get better. This is a picture of America right here. This is like John Wayne, Wayne Newton, so I’m just thrilled.”

(Video from Fox News, Commentary from ABC News)

First off, Michele, John Wayne and Wayne Newton are no where near the same thing. Secondly, telling retirees to invest in Las Vegas real estate has to be the single worst piece of financial advice I have ever heard. Seriously, you’re a fucking idiot, and have no business giving out investment advice, kindly STFU.

Michele Bachmann says that Cain’s plan is dangerous because if you turn “9-9-9” upside down it reads “666.” “The devil is in the details,” she said with a cold smile.

What’s truly scary is that she probably believes the shit she is saying….

Michele Bachmann: 'I Would Reinstate The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy'

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 18:27:30 -0400

Michele Bachmann: 'I Would Reinstate The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy':

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) reiterated that she would reinstate the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy if she were elected president on a conference call with Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition, reports the Minnesota Independent.

Bachmann took calls from supporters, including one who said that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would “destroy the armed forces,” before being cut off.

“I think of all the candidates that are running in the race, I have been very vocal about this,” said Bachmann according to the Independent. “I would reinstate the don’t ask, don’t tell policy. It worked before and what it says is the issue of sexuality is one that doesn’t come up and people aren’t allowed to be open about it because the United States military, it’s not a social experiment.”

Folks, please read the rest of this article. Later on it discusses how she is “extremely proud” of the amendment, she wrote and sponsors, that will change the Minnesota state Constitution to say that marriage rights can only be given to a heterosexual couple. This homophobic bigot needs to pull a Sylvia Plath and end herself, honestly, the last thing this country needs is more hate.

Michele Bachmann Proposes Mandatory Invasive Ultrasounds For Women Seeking Abortions

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:22:00 -0400

Michele Bachmann Proposes Mandatory Invasive Ultrasounds For Women Seeking Abortions:

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) proposed a bill on Thursday that would force women in the early stages of pregnancy to have a physically invasive and medically unnecessary ultrasound procedure before they can legally consent to having an abortion.

The “Heartbeat Informed Consent Act” requires doctors to make the fetal heartbeat visible and audible to the woman prior to the abortion procedure and to describe the ultrasound image to her in detail, even if she prefers not to hear about it. If the woman is between four and five weeks pregnant, the doctor has to perform a “transvaginal ultrasound” in order to hear the heartbeat, which involves a probe and can be physically uncomfortable for the woman.

So, Michele, let me get this straight, a mandatory HPV shot for girls in Texas is invasive and unlawful, but forcing an actually invasive ultrasound procedure and emotional trauma on a woman isn’t? God damnit I cannot wait for you to be out of my life, forever.

“(Barack Obama) has the lowest public approval ratings of any president in modern times”

- Michele Bachmann Making Shit Up

Complete and utter lie and a total disregard for anything resembling a fact. This isn’t even a hard one to fact-check since his predecessor had MUCH lower ratings. George W. Bush’s lowest was 25%, Obama’s has been 40%.

Bachmann demands Obama break International Law

soniabrotomayor-deactivated2011 — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:18:24 -0400

Bachmann demands Obama break International Law :

stfuconservatives:

stfubachmann:

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is calling on President Obama to stop Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from traveling to the United Nations headquarters in New York, even though doing so would violate international law.

“By his own words, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has shown himself to be an enemy not only of Israel, but also of the United States,” Bachmann said in a statement. “He is, in the most literal sense, an outlaw and he should not be allowed in the United States. I call upon President Obama to stop Ahmadinejad from coming to the UN.”

But if Obama were to thwart Ahmadinejad’s visit, he would violate the United Nations Headquarters Agreement, which the United States signed in 1947. In exchange for having the U.N. headquarters in New York, the United States agreed not to block travel to the U.N. for officials from member countries.

Michele, how is he, “an outlaw in the most literal sense”, WHEN HE ISN’T WANTED FOR ANY CRIMES?! I can’t even deal with this anymore.

Michele Bachmann: So awful that I’m forced to defend Ahmadinejad.

Michele Bachmann Defending HPV Vaccine Comments, Gay Marriage...

Michele Bachmann Defending HPV Vaccine Comments, Gay Marriage Stance, On ‘Tonight Show’ With Jay Leno.

Leno also pressed Bachmann about her views on homosexuality and gay marriage.

“That whole ‘pray the gay away’ thing, I don’t get it,” said Leno, referring to the Christian counseling clinic she owns with her husband.

Bachmann tried to deflect Leno’s question with a joke, pointing to her hair and saying, “When I heard that I really thought it was like kind of a mid-life crisis line, like, ‘Pray away the gray.’”

The joke fell flat.

“It sounds like, if two gay people want to get married, that’s their business, that doesn’t concern us,” Leno continued. “Why is that even an issue?”

“I know gay families that are married, they have children. And they’re wonderful people. It doesn’t seem like they shouldn’t be allowed to be happy. But I’m not going to change your mind on that one.”

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, good job Jay. America needs people to ask her these questions, and it seems as if very few (outside of comedy programs) are willing to do it.
