Exclusive: President Michele Bachmann?
Source: ABC News
Forget the fervent chatter speculating that Tea Party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann is considering launching a campaign to challenge Sen. Amy Klobuchar for the Minnesota U.S. Senate seat in the next national election cycle. Think bigger.
ABC News has learned that Bachmann, R-Minn., also is seriously weighing whether to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012.
~snip~
Although aides in Bachmann's congressional office said she has received frequent encouragement from supporters to challenge President Obama next year, they would not confirm quite yet that she officially was throwing her hat into the ring.
However, Bachmann's senior staff did admit the Minnesotan is not ruling out a presidential campaign. "Nothing is off the table," Bachmann chief of staff Andy Parrish told ABC News when asked whether the Iowa trip signaled Bachmann's intent to run for president. "The congresswoman is excited about her first trip to Iowa this year."
-
HONESTLY - i'd love to see her run.
She gets beat up cause she does say some crazy things. investigate congressmen for unamericanism? lol
But in terms of experience and BRAIN POWER... She destroys Palin and steals that base. She's very competent and would not be a confused puppet ala Palin.
-
Not another one... ;D
List of people you've been touting as possible Presidents to be:
Bobby Jindal
John Thune
Santa Claus
Ron Paul
Mike Huckabee
Newt Gingrich
Donald Trump
Rocco Siffredi
-
I like her more than Palin.

I like her more than Palin.
me too, by a mile. She's SMART. Granted, neurotic and nutty at time - but she does believe in the constitution. 2 years ago, palin was balming man for global warming, opening up the borders, and singing the praises of TARP. SHe's a seasonal tea partier ;)
Bachmann has been consistent all along!

Now that's a good idea.
Of course in rl, Paul would be the more prudent choice.

Religious nuts like Barr don't get elected to POTUS.

No according to 240 who claims to have voted for him.

Religious nuts like Barr don't get elected to POTUS.
I thought this was a prerequisite for pretty much any career politician.

It takes more than 240s vote to secure POTUS office.

Bachmann can give Palin a run for her money in the stupid/incoherent comment category.
Here's a recent gem:
Bachmann: Tax Cuts Don’t Really Cause Deficits
December 11th, 2010
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), the Tea Party mega-star, has emerged in the past few days as a leading opponent of the Obama-GOP tax cuts compromise from the right. And in the process, she is elaborating on the common theme among conservatives that tax cuts should not be paid for in terms of their effect on the deficits. Or as she puts it, cutting taxes shouldn’t be defined as part of a deficit, and only spending should be viewed through this lens.
“I don’t agree with that definition,” Bachmann told Meredith Viera on the Today Show. “When people keep their own money, that’s considered a deficit to government, but it’s not a deficit to your pocket or mine, so I think it’s important that people can keep their money.”

Why is that dumb?
BTW - she was a Federal Tax Lawyer for the IRS.

you should know that
btw - here's the Year in Crazy
I forgot how much stupid shit she said and did last year
I know pointing out that she's crazier than a shit house rat will only endear her more to the TBaggers on GetBig but what the heck it's too funny to pass up

she's made the same incoherent and just flat out wrong statement more than once.
It's just how you "frame it"
If you put a "crazy/stupid" frame around it and you're a retarded Tbagger then it makes sense
And in an exchange with John Roberts on CNN:
BACHMANN: And remember it's a deficit to government but it's not a deficit to people who get to keep their money. So it's how you frame it. I don't think letting people keep their own money should be considered a deficit.
ROBERTS: But it is, though, because it adds to the federal deficit.
BACHMANN: No, you're right about that, John, that it is to the government, but remember what we could also be doing right now: Cutting back on spending. We've had the biggest increase in spending in the last two years that anyone can remember in modern times. We can also cut back spending to that level and that's not on the table right now.

I wasn't necessarily referring to 333
I'm sure he's met more than a few lawyers who are dumb as a box of rocks
Bachmann gives Palin a serious run for that weird combo of crazy/stupid with a liberal does of jesus freak as well

As if you don't know.
One thing for sure, it isn't a courier for a debt collection agency.

Funny, I just handled a trial in court tonight with witnesses, evidence , exhibits, etc.
-
And yet found time to post on Getbig nonstop?
Yeah right.... I can understand having no life and posting all day long while sitting at home waiting for mommy to make your sandwich for lunch, but yet taking time out of REAL LIFE, like when you are away from a regular PC, to post on the internet with the usual whining and crying? Pathetic. Must have been a long subway ride for you to defend that speeding ticket.
-
I post from a blackberry often. Trial lasted about 2 hours. Involved a contractor dispute over backcharges, unauthorized work, theft, etc.
I think I won. Judge said I will have a decision in a few weeks.

do you bill your clients for the time you're posting on GB?
-
I can understand posting while at the office and bored silly. I do that all the time. I can understand posting from home. Which I do sometimes, but not a whole lot.
But posting from a phone while out of the house or office? If that isn't a pathetic cry for attention and an addiction to an internet board to post nonstop whinings, then I don't know what is.
-
Do you ever do anything but insult me.

I work from my home most of the time and I find GB to be an easy distraction and time waster.

Yeah, as opposed to be claiming to have fled a communist regime and too scared to say what country it was or when you fled. ::) ::) ::)
-
Better her than the Wild Alaskan Dingbat.
-

I didn't know "telling the truth about you" was so easily mistaken for "insulting you".
Then again, I suppose it is when the truth hurts so bad.
-

Exactly. Same here. But do you post on it when you *gasp* actually leave the house and PC behind? Can you live without posting on the internet until you return home or to the office? Or do you simply MUST continue the whinings and crying via phone while on the subway or bus?
Most people, well actually.... ALL of the people I know, don't do it.
Real Life > Internet E-Life. Except for those people who don't have a real life.

That's what a grown up man takes as insult. Truth. ;)

What communist regime was it that you claim to have fled again?

Not really.

nice try. what does that have to do with the fact you can't make a difference between truth an insults??
-
Not really.
Do you see the fact somebody told him the truth as insult too?? Nobody called him names, somebody presented a couple of facts regarding his posting habits. Where is the insult in that??? ???
-
At this point, there isn't a single person in this country, outside of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, that could probably do a worse job of being president than Obama.

Oh please. The vast majority of everything Lurker posts on this board involves an attack on someone (rather than the issues).

I don't read all the posts to be an expert on that, was this particular case an insult or not? Just a simple question .....with a simple reason for it, if he didn't insult him all the crap that follows is absolutely irrelevant.

Not sure what specific statement you are talking about, but I wasn't referring to any particular statement in this thread. If you want an example of an "insult" just read any number of his posts, like this one:
All they would find is a depressed middle aged fatty who's entire existence revolves around a fake e-life on the internet.
I should probably start cleaning this stuff up . . . .

The far-left clowns on here are spitting images of their heroes in Washington that were just bitch-slapped by the American public. They're incapable of actually discussing any issues (usually because they have no fucking idea what they're talking about) and can do little more than sling personal insults while derailing threads....much like how the far-leftists in Washington love to vilify anyone who doesn't drink their kool-aid (i.e. the majority of Americans).

Yep. Nothing like a place where garbage like this happens:
Good grief. You are one insecure little twat. ::)

No. This was a good long time client who I always end up giving a break. 99% of my work is on a commission basis.

Boo Hoo. You can't handle the truth either. We already know that.
I'm not your mother. I am not going to sugar coat your shortcomings and insights.

Mistaking posting on a thread as trolling... more pathetic.
Try again.

Is this hypocrisy resulting from being a Repub or being a Christian? Hard to tell in your case.
Funny, when I tell the truth about 333, you act like it is an insult. But yet your post has no factual basis to it, so therefore a direct insult. Boo Hoo...
-
Not sure what specific statement you are talking about, but I wasn't referring to any particular statement in this thread. If you want an example of an "insult" just read any number of his posts, like this one:

333 depressed? HAHAHA - FACT.
Middle aged? FACT Though I can understand why it might be hard for you to believe this as he often sounds like a four year old having a tantrum.
Fat? FACT
Entire existence revolving around the internet? FACT How many posts does he have again? How many times was he posting on Xmas day? Friday nights? Saturday nights?
Truth hurts doesn't it. Hurts those that it applies to and those who try to spin it. Come back and try again sucker.

I responded in kind all at once.
