My mom likes Bachmann.
.
One of the regulars on FDL was somewhat dismissive of me, on an earlier post, for relating my mom’s political leanings and thought processes…
.
But if ProgGreenLefties can’t win over the hearts and minds of people like her, we’re doomed.

can’t win over the hearts and minds of people like her

But she has neither.

That’s almost as funny as catchin’ fire like a Vancouver police cruiser.

If someone with some real charisma can make it through without getting shot, we may have a chance.
.
Which ‘her’/'she’ was Mr. #2 referring to, by the way? Bachmann, or my mother? Because I might have to take Miz Thang out back to the shed for a good lovin’ either way, ‘cuz I’ve been drinking a little and everyone’s got a heart and soul.
.
I hadn’t even CONSIDERED going after Bachmann and trying to convert her to the cause of Freedom, until now, so thank you, number two…

Did Michelle happen to mention that 60 year old Canadian men don’t have to rob banks of $1 for healthcare? Didn’t think so.

Pretty sure he wasn’t talkin’ smack bout yer Moms. At least I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt. But the thought did cross my mind after I clicked the button.

You know your mother and you know of the dipshit from Minnesota so make up your own mind.

In a competition ‘hair’ against ‘baby’ the ‘baby’ always will win!

You’re funny.

How about a Bachmann-Palin ticket? Since our first African-American president has turned out to be such a failure, why not let our first female president and vice president have a shot at it? Obama may be a warmongering, lying, fascist, corporatist sleazebag, but he’s b o r i n g and sane. But this duo would sure liven things up! If we’re going to destroy ourselves, we might as well have some laughs along the road to hell.

Ms. Hamsher, are you UP yet? You’re a Hollywood degenerate; for God’s sake, can’t you convince these people of the value of a good vocal coach? Kennedy almost fucked my mom, and she never even met him, you knowwmzain?
.
Bachmann, as evil as she is, has better cadence than that ex-CIA guy that was on Olbermann, I can’t remember his name ‘cuz I don’t WANT to remember his name…
.
Clinton could talk, but you felt dirty afterwards, like you know he wouldn’t support you if you got pregnant but you didn’t so you didn’t talk about it and kept pretending to support him kind of thing…

Mrs Bill is still Jonesing for the CEO’s job isn’t she? She could have Debbie Whazername Shilz as a running mate…just think of the money flowing in that campaign.

Morning all.

Any way you slice it, we’re going to have one rotten President for the next four years. :O

Now that’s ONE way I can gain traction with not only my mom, but my dad…
.
God, I should have offered this in lieu of my Ben-plus membership, it’s so Shur-Shot:
.
Liberals! Here’s the one-two punch to get Fox News watchers to listen to you:
.
FIRST, insult Hillary.
Then, make a common-sense proggy point that your target audience wants to ignore but knows you’re right sooooo…
.
Works for me. But you can’t over-use it. But I don’t imagine many of you talk to Real Human Rethugs much…
.
One of yooze was talking about it, though, how a whole bunch of your otherwise-intelligent family were like that…

Good morning, pups. It’s Dowd and Friedman today. MoDo says “Sing Out, Hillary,” and that First Lady Hillary could give Secretary Clinton a lesson or two about how to get in the face of authoritarian regimes. The Moustache of Wisdom, in “100 Days,” says the first 100 days of every presidency are regularly used as a measuring stick for success. Unfortunately, it seems as if that’s the only time anything gets done.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and I’ve got a variety of bagels with cream cheese. Time for me to grab a cup of tea, feed the kittehs, and go out and water the garden. The weather “forecasters” seem to think we’ll get some rain tomorrow [fingers crossed] but judging from the general accuracy of their prognostications I’m starting to believe that they’re all located in a mine shaft and “forecast” by shaking zebra bones and giraffe tails over maps… Have a great day.

Thanks, Marion. I guess MoDo hasn’t noticed that a Sec’y of State represents a gov’t while a First Lady is all about making hubby look good? no? surprise.

“How about a Bachman-Palin ticket?”
Not a bad idea, but I think I might like a Bachman-Cain ticket. Cain only wants to read bills 3 pages or less and Bachman wouldn’t read them at all.
Plus the road to hell might be shorter. May as well get it over with.

Yeah and Bachmann would gain 100 lbs from all those pizzas Cain would have sent in.

Great, Cain and Unable.

*snort*

How about a Bachman-Palin ticket?

Sounds like Bachman-Turner Overdrive! Anyone here old enough to remember them?

Sorry for the drive-by. Got an early doctor’s appt. Good morning everyone!

Sounds like Bachman-Turner Overdrive! Anyone here old enough to remember them?

Leftovers from the Guess Who. (I kid, I kid)

Bachman!? This story is a knee slapper which can’t last.

She seems the evil twin of the witch, Christine O’Donnell. Think back and remember a moment. Even the voice and body language almost match.

Even much like the demon sheep, by the same author.

Bachman Palin ticket?

Excellent idea! It would be the Cheech and Chong of the right. They would certainly clarify things for the voters, no?

Christ, I’m either too late for these threads or too early…
.
I think FDL should print up tri-fold broadsheets, an 8+1/2 by 11 folded so there’s a front, you open it up it makes an irrefutable point/argument-against-counterpoint
ACCOMPANIED by a FUZZY BUNNY of some sort
with the FDL logo on the back.
.
People can print them up on their home printer…
…attaching the fuzzy sticker gives a sense of sexy comradeship with people you may one day pat the bunny with, then you go out and change the world one tiny piece of common sense at a time…
.
revolution must be made sexy…

Tactics appear to have changed …

why mess around with middlemen, go direct to Limbaugh/O’reilly?

“catches fire like a Vancouver police cruiser”.

Now THAT is some comedy goodness. LOL

Let us hope and pray that this is true. Popcorn futures will soar.

Nope. Scorn and snark only push her deeper into the devil’s Hallmark Card embrace of doom.
.
But thank you for not ignoring me. I feel like the new kid at the lunch table who’s made everyone decide to go early to do their homework in the Blue Texas room…

…and what’s up with Now-Nameless-Gucci-Troll?

I have relatives who are slavering Grifter Media Whore fans. I think they’d wanna beat the crap outta any nutbar who’d support Bachmann On Overdrive for POTUS. If there’s to be any kind of T-NutbarGOP candidacy, from my rellies’ perspective, it’d better be PALIN-bachmann… OR ELSE!!

In these troubled times America needs a white man. With good hair. Perry/Bachmann in 2012!

It gets really boring dealing with the Clintons and whatever is next from them. But Dowd ignored that Mr. and Mrs. Bill took in over 22 million in “foundation contributions” from the Saudis and millions more in “speaking fees”. The Clintons are just plain embarassing and you cannot imagine they give one whoot about the plight of Saudi women.

I LOVE REPUBLICANS LIKE MICHELLE BACHMANN

The Republican primary debates are going to be like watching a TV reality show that combines the pathos of a West Virginia coal mine disaster and the intellectual and emotional depth of a Jerry Springer “who’s your daddy” episode with the moral and religious hypocrisy of a KKK family get together lynching at a Baptist revival meeting on casino night held at a “straights only” trailer park in Salt Lake City.

TODAY’S REPUBLICANISM IS THE VICTORY OF THE “ID” OVER THE “SUPEREGO”

Today’s Republicans don’t believe they are their brothers keepers. They don’t believe in humanity, morality or the teachings of Jesus Christ. They don’t believe in logic, fairness or compassion; nor do they have an appreciation for the hardships of Americans less fortunate than themselves.

They think “free trade” means they are free to ship American jobs overseas….free to claim denying jobs to Americans is “good” for America. Driving jobs out of America and Americans out of their homes is “just business”; nothing “personal”.

Corporations must be given the same first amendment free speech rights as individual citizens so they can “buy” political candidates and elections, despite the fact that works against the best interests of working class Americans and diminishes their political influence.

Pollution, global warming and deforestation are all improvable “myths” of egg-head/tree hugger scientists who are “socialist” enemies of “over-regulated” capitalism. The earth, which right wing fundamentalist claim is less than 6,000 years old, will miraculously heal itself! All we have to do is “pray”.

For today’s self-focused/consumed Republicans, it’s not about right or wrong, good or bad, fair or unfair, rational or irrational. They want what they want for no other reason than they WANT it, regardless of the consequences to themselves and everyone else! Somehow, that makes “them” feel good about themselves….makes them “feel” safe.

Oh sure, way to go and depress us all this early in the afternoon.

Can you give us a link? I’d like to know how you describe her thought processes in coming to like Bachmann.

Does Bachmann appeal to her philosophy of governance? Her religious beliefs? Etc.

T/U.
