It’s pretty simple, really. With Perry now in the race, the marketplace is glutted with both crazy AND stupid. Her value is depressed.
I saw an article that reminded me of this thread today and thought it would fit in. So, as we all know, Bachmann is way behind in the polls, and as she’s wont to do, her response is to keep digging. But this time she’s taking an interesting tack:
Now there’s a winning strategy…tar your own party with the same brush you’ve been using for years to tar your opponents. Sounds like a sensible plan to me!
I’ll bet she has a list of socialists. And she plans a circular firing squad.
This just in: according to Bachmann, Reagan was a commie.
Bachmann is a Communist. She is fond of quoting Lenin.
According to This article, Bachman said “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat”, referring to what she wants to do with social programs.
Although Bachmann may have been thinking of II Thessalonians 3:10, I’m sure that as a secret communist plant, she was **well aware **that Lenin was also fond of the phrase, “He who does not work shall not eat”. In fact, he viewed this as
according to Wikipedia
She’s a commie, spouting Communist dogma wherever she goes.
George Soros has broken his ties to the Illuminati?
Did she just accuse the president of treason?
She also talked about “modernizing” Tri-Care, which is the military health care system. No specifics, of course. When the moderator pressed her, she said that Tri-Care and others are “75 years old” and need to be modernized. I’m pretty sure that Tri-Care became the default program in the 90s. It’s a completely computerized system, and it pays its bills promptly. She’s a moron.
She’s accusing him of being a liberal lawyer, so… yes. In her tiny brain, he’s committing treason. Surely you remember when she suggested that the media investigate liberal members of Congress for anti-American beliefs. Which is doubly crazy, because she also believes the media is controlled by some kind of liberal conspiracy.
But I’m sure there’s a corporate donor that would love to privatize the system and get paid a few billion dollars to run a system that’s already up and running.
She also thinks that in order to cut social programs, we should look to China for guidance.
There really is no shortage of crazy in this woman.
She said that as part of saying that Waterboarding was perfectly ok.
What, we shouldn’t torture people?
Huntsman and Paul were the only ones to disagree with the use of Waterboarding.
And yokels in the audience clapped and cheered.

Bachmann Wants Iraqis To Pay ‘Several Million Dollars Per Life’ For Every American Who Died In Iraq
That’s right. Iraq owes us money for what we did for them. The ungrateful slobs!
She is a strong representative of the Repub party.There are apparently many who think like her. She has been running for months as a special request from god. She is crazy to the rest of us.
Doesn’t she know you’re supposed to ask for the Danegeld before you send the boys in ?
So how much money should Iraq ask for to compensate them for the (very roughly since no one knows the true number) 150,000 of their citizens killed in this war?
And the dog doesn’t bark. Ms Bachmann, as noted, says that Obama is not a true friend of Israel. Last night, Perry and Romney both said that aid to Israel was subject to review and revision. Frankly, I am very surprised, both that they said it and the seeming lack of any sort of outraged response.
Perry more than Romney, is the creature of the evangelical right, which is dominated by a pro-Israel sentiment that brooks no deviation, whatsoever. I have no idea what happened to bring this about. But nobody seems to be screaming their heads off, and that’s even more suprising. Maybe nobody is listening, any more?
She’s only polling at three percent, just ahead of Ron Paul. I don’t think the Republicans see her as a strong representative.
She IS crazy, though.
