bonafides.

..this nut wanted to default on the national debt, yet here we have a "serious" Beltway pundit asking this loon serious questions about economics. And then acting like her answers have merit.

Girl, you scare the crap out of me (I am talking to Michelle, not Marcus).

She's about REALITY??

Bwahahahahaha.

This bitch is out there, like Pluto, man...she's GONE!!

I am about reality. That's what I care about.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahha *take breath* Ahahahahahahahahahahaha etc
WTF is she on?

I really cannot stand this woman. She is a huge liar; she is a charlatan.

Bachmann's reality is that of homophobia. Bachmann's reality is evil.....she wants to cut an social security and medicare benefits to future recipients, and she wants to do it now, not some time in the future. What the hell gives her the right to steal from those who have already put money into the system year after year? What the hell gives her the right to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, the sick, and the elderly when her old hero George W. Bush gave tax cuts that mainly benefitted the wealthiest and her old hero George W. Bush started 2 wars that were not paid for?

Note that I say "old hero" Bush because the first time I think I ever heard of Bachmann was during Bush's 2007 State of the Union address....Bachmann was all over him, hugging and kissing him, wanting to get his autograph......she didn't want to let go. She was like a teenage girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

I've tried to send emails recently to the contact information on her Presidential web site.....it keeps getting rejected, saying my "quota" has been exceeded. I think I have not been able to send her emails ever since I sent an email asking her about her husband and his hatred of teh gay. I think I am being censored!

To paraphrase Chevy Chase " bachmann you ignorant slut"
The question was hypothetical...Obviously it's not real.
Much like you candidacy...

How can she say she loves and respects her wonderful husband, but her campaign has brought him to the attention of the public and what the public sees is a very closeted gay man who uses federal funds in his very questionable business and is the brunt of many jokes, some very bad and vile, yet she continues on with her campaign to be president. Imagine Dr. Dainty has the 'first dud' in the White House.

Guess Wallace could not say "You know the question was hypothetical.......you dumb bitch?"

I guess by that measure, no one in Congress should ever vote on anything that can be overturned by a future Congress or those votes are meaningless.

Watch out - you're leaking Rep. Bachmann's legislative strategery... ;)

Although I do agree with her on one point - the GOP should never again be allowed to submit any budget that assumes tax cuts "sunset" to goose the CBO scoring, given that we know that's utter nonsense.

Bachman is right about, the “deal”, often it’s not what is said, to get the ”deal”, but she is dead wrong on how to change course. Bachman is just like the conservatives in this respect, she wants to change course, so drastically, it would harm the nation as a whole and 95% of it’s people, unemployment would drive straight down, States would be forced into bankruptcy and business would close and the only ones who would survive this calamity would be the rich and wealthy, of which typical republicans and Conservatives, do not care, what happens to them, it’s winnowing of the weak to her ilk, pushed to side of the road of the Nation to die and all supports and safety Nets would be dead along with the raising population.

Bachman, is a shill for the greedy, nothing more, nothing less.

We would be a first world, third world nation in no time flat, all regulation and market protections would be done away with. Roads, Water, Farming, Food supply, Unions and the middle class would dry up and die, we’d be left with swaggering class of Aristocratic, Plutocrats, filled with Oligarchic Princes and kings of industry. Company Towns, Stores and Housing would be all that’s left, oh and the poor farm, if they’ll have your sorry, broke down butts, no Pensions, no 401k’s, no IRS’s and no Savings at least, no for now laboring peasant class, we’d all be surf’s, subjects.

No Bachman is clear, she’d rather have a crash, so only the rich and wealthy, they’d be just like Carpet baggers, swarming over the spoils.

And Bachman would be telling everyone, they’d better start praying, but not for them to do the right thing, that ship will have sailed.

A Government cannot be run like a family, because it is dysfunctional, with all the diverse, people and Cultural, Religious diversity and that what makes up the unique melting pot, we call America, a Republic that uses Democratic principles. Our Constitution is a secular document, that has some religious doctrine, but secular it is, it’s freedom of religion and freedom… from religion, that’s the bedrock and all who want to, force any religion on others through Government, are tyrannous usurpers of the highest order.

In a down, struggling economy, you cannot, cut revenues to the economy, in the front end, it would prolong the recession and turn it deeper into depression, that’s Economics 101, when the private class, refuses to invest, the last resort is the Government and Bachman and her ilk, hate Government… Never, ever elect someone to RUN your Government, who HATES GOVERNMENT… or listen to their HATRED, dressed up as concern, they’re concerned only for their bottem line, there POCKETS..

as to why people get so outraged by cuts to cherished programs that probably won't ever take place.

If you purchase Republican politicians for enough money, they absolutely stay bought.

It's almost admirable in its own twisted way, like honor among thieves or omerta for the Mafia.

Iowa just flunked its IQ test!

It ended up being $3 in tax increases for every $1 in spending cuts.

So at least Bachmann is prepared to say that St. Ronald of Alzheimer's raised taxes instead of cutting them. Good for her. (Actually I doubt very much that she thought ahead as to the implications of the numbers she made up on the spur of the moment.)

...did she mention anything that sounds like a plan or was she just flapping her yap? I'm still waiting for something that sounds like a plan; making Obama a one-termer is not a plan for job-growth. Telling me its obama's fault or the dems fault or the sun came up in the east this morning is not a plan for job-growth. When do we hear about their PLAN for Job-Growth? They've been promising Jobs Jobs Jobs and I don't think America thinks that killing jobs and prolonged unemployment is what they were talking about. Of course they didn't know what they were talking about because they talk about jobs but they're only interested in one: the presidents and that's not helping people...

She is vacuous. She has no real position other than whatever position that will get her power. The scary thing is that she is cozy with Christian Dominionists. Do a google search or a youtube search for Bachmann and Coral Ridge Ministries. She and her husband have attained their wealth using evangelicals that want to bring theocracy to America. She now believes this will bring her the power she seeks. She really has no understanding of America and how it works (see her discussion on the census which is in the Constitution and her discussion of unAmerican Congressmen). As a politician, you should be known by the company that you keep. She has shot video with the most outrageous and theocratic elements of our society. Now the theocrats have join with the Grover Norquist crowd to make tax cuts for "job creators" biblical. Grover wanted to shrink government to the size that you could drowned it in a bath tub. Look around: we are there. We refuse to pay for police, fire, teachers, roads, bridges and people that cannot work. In 2011, we are no poorer than we were in 1965. We just have wealth concentrated in the very rich and the rich will not be separated from their money because of the help of the theocrats. If she were to win, I would leave this country.
