SARAH PALIN & MICHELE BACHMANN FOR 2012?…. I GUESS IT´S TIME TO THINK ABOUT MOVING TO CANADA

...the "crazy" Michele Bachmann of Minnesota
Well, based on some of the people that ran and lost while under the support of that same group in the recent mid-term elections, (Oh you know; those ding-bats like Sharron Angle, Christine O´Donnell, Joe Miller, etc.), Ms. Bachmann is probably a very good choice as a Tea Party leader.
Ms. Bachmann, the US Representative from the suburbs of the Twin Cities in Minnesota is sometimes referred to by her Tea Party supporters as "a smart and telegenic leader – think: Sarah Palin, with a law degree". But I still have a bit of a concern about someone sporting a law degree that they earned at the University of Oral Roberts, as does Ms. Bachmann.
In addition, even with this new leadership position, her Republican colleagues have made it fairly clear that she would not have a seat at the GOP leader´s table when they take control of the House in January.
Ms. Bachmann, as the Republicans have whispered within their group, is, "too loud, too unruly, and too Tea Party". When she sought the No. 4 Republican leadership spot this month, the other Republicans in congress said "no way". She was then forced to bow out of the race for House Republican Conference chair just before the election.
Representative Michele Bachmann is also one of those classic Republican politicians that says, "Don´t do as I do, do as I say."
As an example. Ms. Bachmann continually rants about government spending and for getting the US government out of every American´s life. But this is all being espoused while Ms. Bachmann´s family, which is the owner of a 949-acre farming operation, the Bachmann Farm Family Limited Partnership, that has collected thousands of federal dollars in federal farm subsidies since the partnership was established a few years ago.
In addition, Bachmann and Associates, Inc., a Christian mental health clinic founded and run by Representative Bachmann´s husband, has been taking money from Minnesota´s coffers since it was founded in 2003. This is the latest negative example Bachmann´s disgusting verbal rhetoric.
This female blow-hard Republican politician has become a rising star in Tea Party circles, specifically for her fiery rhetoric opposing government "handouts" and "socialized medicine". All of this is being the case while her family is found to be directly benefiting from government funding. Since 2007, the Christian clinic, run by her husband, Marcus Bachmann, has taken in thousands of their own state´s government dollars. Now, I don´t know about you, but that sounds to me like her own definition of, "government handouts" and "socialized medicine".
And of course, Ms. Bachmann is vehemently against "Obamacare" for all Americans, as she consistently rants about wanting its immediate repeal. All of this, while she would in no way agree to give up hers, and her family´s, US government provided health care coverage.
More and more, the vast number of low-information Tea Party members are being led to believe that a Sarah Palin / Michele Bachmann team would be a great "dynamic-duo" for running for the US president / vice president positions in 2012. Even the latest Washington Post article about Ms. Bachmann and her association with the Tea Party had many comments submitted on the internet from Tea Party members and supporters saying, "Yessir, it´s going to be Sarah and Michele as the right team, and final winners, in 2012."
Now there´s a very frightening thought.
Those within the "Tea Party´s mass-of-misinformed", don´t seem to realize that the powers-that-be, that ran the lunatic fringe candidates such as Sharron Angle, Joe Miller and Christine O´Donnell, would just love to have these "not-so-bright candidates" run for office and win. This is just so that they could be manipulated as the Tea Party members are being done today.
The extreme right-wing conservatives figured all this out when they realized that they were able to get Tea Party members to carry signs against the tax cuts that President had just given them and 98% of all working Americans. They were also able to get them to run against having their own health care coverage that actually lowers the federal deficit over the long term.
They are now, doing it again, by getting these same uninformed individuals to rant about the US deficit, while at the same time supporting a program that gives the top 1% of America´s wealthiest a tax cut that increases the US deficit by 700 billion dollars…..?
And yes, these people both vote and they continue to breed.
But Ms. Bachmann is an extremely staunch supporter of these low-information voters.
The following is how Representative Bachmann referred to these Tea Party members in a recent Washington Tea Party Rally:
Bachmann: "This [the Tea Party] is not a group of toothless hillbillies who have no idea what they were talking about,"
Audience response: "Noooo!''
Bachmann: "These aren't angry, hateful people."
Audience response: "Noooo!''
Bachmann: "These are the nicest people you'd ever want to meet."
(As they stand there with signs showing Swastikas, pictures of Hitler, and misspelled swear-words)
Yes, as I said, I guess it´s time to start thinking about moving to Canada.
