Bachman and her statements shown to be false

Can someone please expin to how Ms Bachmanns political experience (state senate from 2001-2007 and US senate from 2008 -present) differs from Obama (state senate 1997-2004 and US Senate from 2005-2008) makes qualified cor POTUS and Ob m Not? i mean aside from the if my guy does its good and if your guy dies it its bad BS.
 
Why don't you share some of Bachmann's accomplishments with the rest of the class. Any significant piece of legislation passed by her from either her time in congress or in the state senate will do.

Kev,

I'm not saying I'm a huge huge fan. I will say she is extremely effective in some regards and less so in others. My suspicion is that her legislative record is not all that terrific framed as you have framed it. I did a bit of research and she has sponsored 7 bills in 2011 and co-sponsored 88 in the same time period

Sponsored Bill 2011

C0-Sponsored Bills 2011

No real surprises really based on the once over slightly I performed.

Ms Tree,

I've no idea opf the specifics of and have yet to see anything concrete regarding the Bachmann Family and farm subsidies. She was a tax lawyer so to me it would come as no surprise that the family used every tool at their disposal to leverage the tax code just as every American does. Just like some of the Tax deductions the Clinton's did on their tax returns.

Anyone who didn't would be stupid IMO and not bright enough to be President.
 
The problem comes when you profit off of something you are supposedly against. Actions such as that tend to make you look hypocritical.
 
Love how you liberals fret so much over Bachmans qualifications. Did any if you idiots apply the same level of concern before voting for Obama???

No of course not.

To you perhaps. To me it shows a savvy business person leveraging everything to their advantage in order to wring as much profit out of their enterprise as possible in order to raise their children and provide a comfortable retirement.

For true hypocrisy all one need do is look Left. I'm thinking maybe those of us not on the left should make them live in the world they wish to create for the rest of us.

So, in the generous spirit of bipartisanship, here are ten ways that we can give liberals exactly what they SAY they want.


1) There are far too many people in our prisons who have been failed by our society. That certainly isn’t their fault. That’s why we need to release a few million prisoners into halfway houses in liberal neighborhoods.

2) America needs to lead the way in alternative energy; so it should be illegal for liberals to power their homes with anything other than windmills and solar energy. On the upside, since this will mean a lot of time in the dark, these liberals will gain the added bonus of being able to get back to nature.

3) Bodyguards for liberal politicians, celebrities, and athletes shouldn’t be able to use guns. After all, people don’t kill people; guns kill people — so by removing the guns from those bodyguards, those people will be safer than ever!

4) We do need to make sure that everyone gets a “working wage.” So, let’s raise the minimum wage to $100 an hour. We can start by raising the salaries of chauffeurs, gardeners, nannies, cooks, and maids in Hollywood and expand from there until we all make at least $100 an hour and will thus, be rich! But wait….if we were all rich, then we’d all be exploitive and evil….ah, that’s something to figure out

5) We do need to bring illegal aliens “out of the shadows,” which is why any illegal aliens captured in America who aren’t immediately deported should be shipped to Berkeley or San Francisco, where they can live in peace, use the schools, and collect government benefits until their trials…well, if they show up for their trials.

6) Union labor is important, which is why liberal businesses should be legally obligated to ONLY use unionized labor. Granted, that might mean long delays, their competitors dramatically undercutting them on costs, or even going out of business, but wouldn’t that be worth it for those people if they got to put more money in the pockets of union members?

7) Fairness is very important. That’s why we need to apply the Fairness Doctrine to newspaper editorial pages, MSNBC, Current TV, and the Huffington Post.

8) We all know animals (and trees) should have the same rights as human beings; so is it really worth it to save human lives if animals have suffered to make it possible? That’s why it should be illegal to sell liberals insulin, antibiotics, drugs that fight AIDS/HIV and any other medicines that were made possible by testing that was done on animals.

9) Let’s put salary caps in place to keep rich guys from earning money that they don’t deserve. How about a maximum of $200,000 for any actor’s appearance in a film? That seems fair, right? Wouldn’t you agree to star in a major motion picture for $200,000?

10) Increasing diversity is an important goal; so we should set quotas to insure that every newspaper staff in America (and we can’t forget MSNBC) have as many minorities present as there are in the population. It would also be nice if Netroots Nation wasn’t as white as a snowstorm in Maine; so maybe next year some of those white, liberal attendees could give up their tickets to people of color.

What I find more than mildly amusing is the Liberal Media and their treatment of Bachmann & Palin. They are made out to be near cartoon characters simply because they are powerful but DO NOT espouse the views of N.O.W. Kinda reminds me of N.O.W rejection of Paula Jones

A savvy business person who lies about whether she got the money. Sounds like just another politician pandering to the rich.

Aah, the Liberal Media. Pointing and laughing at a fresh new clown. Where do the Republicans find these people?

Will they ever run out?
 
Who said it was not legally obtained? You are as bad as she is at addressing the question that are asked. She is against government subsidies and she profited from those subsidies. That is the question. No one has said it was illegal. No one except you to dodge the issue. The only thing being said is that she is a politician and a hypocrite but I am repeating my self.

Bachmann probably does not have a chance once she starts having to answer the hard questions she does not want to answer. Then she will probably start to fade.

Where were you with your endless concern when Obama was running?

Perhaps Braying about "Hope & Change" like the rest of the Liberal/Progressive Jackalopes, while I was busy clinging to my guns and religion.

Again there's a failure to understand.

I never had an issue with his experience as I do not believe there is a direct correlation between experience and performance. One need only look at our previous presidents to see that.

The right wingers (and I belive a few on here) were complaining about Obama lack of experience but are strangely silent with Bachmann.

You miss the point......lack of experience isn't an issue....it was with you regarding Palin and wasn't regarding Obama. You've proved this in past arguments as with most other issues of the day.

Founders didn't set it up you have to be a rich lawyer only a citizen.

Exactly! There is no experience qualifier in the COTUS. Beside which people grow into jobs even at that level. One of my key criteria is how much time did a candidate spend at the government trough prior to running for elective office.

Michele Bachmann is a self made woman.

Please show me where I said her lack of experiences was an issue for me? I do not recall ever saying that or believing that. I do have issues with her quitng half way through her term and her lack of intelligence and her lying but not her lack of experience.
 
I love how liberals say we haven't given Obama a chance. When was the last time liberals gave *any* conservative a chance?

Lack of intelligence? Where do you get that? Have you seen either Bachmann's or Palin's IQ tests? For the Liberal/Progressive, the problems with those two is they are"

Strong willed Republican's
Strong on traditional family values
Resonate with a relatively large segment of the population
Fly totally in the face of the Liberal/Progressive orthodoxy
They don't give a rat's arse what you think as they are strong

For these five "transgressions" they are widely ridiculed, Yet another glaring example of Liberal?Progressive hypocrisy. Pointing out the failures and flaws in Barack Obama judging from the MSM's howls of protest is verboten. While the venom spewed by the Liberal/Progressives against Palin and Bachmann is merely telling the truth. This is why the left has no credibility with me.

Also submitted for your consideration, If IQ/Intelligence actually matters as a gauge of success then my Mensa Member ex wouldn't be a junkie now would she?
 
I have heard Palin speak and I do not belive she is intellectually curious or intelligent.

I believe Bachmann is far more intelligent but lacks any intellectually integrity. Yes just like our current president.
