I think I posted that stuff earlier in this thread or the last one.
Yes, that district is heavily populated with racists and morons. St. Cloud, home to a major party college, has had a long and inglorious history of racist attacks on minority students, especially jews.
And come to think of it, I used to know a couple of people that were fairly normal once upon a time, but have gone off the deep end of Glen Beck-Land and I found that they had in fact moved into that area.
It seems to be kinda like some strange version of a Lovecraftian New England. There’s probably some major unknown Old One buried under St. Cloud or something like that.
Hey, Tinklenberg almost beat her; it was like 43 to 46 percentage points. But then Clark basically got curbstomped which I blame on the fact that Bachmann far far outspent Clark. Also the Tea Party was running really high at the time.
We have so much crazy we can afford to export some. I wonder if the woman has one plank in her campaign platform that wouldn’t get her laughed off the stage at a Swiss political rally.
Anyone remember the episode of WKRP where the station manager ran for office, made a slam about the other guy being a drunk and, not being able to withdraw from the race, decided to run a campaign designed to make himself lose? One of their tricks was a campaign poster with a completely insane look in his eyes.
Michele Bachmann is a living, unintentional version of that poster.
The country that banned minarets by popular referendum? I’m sure she could find common ground with a decent portion of the Swiss populace on at least some issues.
Michelle, dear? That’s my Congressman, I voted for him. He’ll do, no great shakes. But a radical Muslim? Yeah, sure, and Garrison Keillor is a pimp.
Now, a word. I have it from people I trust that her record on sheltering homeless and/or battered children and foster care is quite good. Yes, you get a buttload of Jesus with your macaroni and cheese, but you get the macaroni and cheese. So, not all bad.
That said: Shut the fuck up, you crazy mindless bitch!
