The Official Michele Bachmann 2012 Appreciation Thread

[Dos Equis]

Good speech. 

She was looking at the wrong camera. 

[Benny B]

Rep. Michele Bachmann wins the night

LOL!

How many electoral votes do you predict "Balloon-Head" Bachmann will rack up in the 2012 general election, PEA BRAIN?

[Soul Crusher]

Won't matter.  Dear communist won't be on the ballot since states are passing laws requiring a law form bc to be produced.   The kenyan usurper will be sent packing. 

[tu_holmes]

I'll take her resume over Dear Asshole at 166 Pa Ave. any day.

Who lives there?

[tonymctones]

That's why 24.0 is your IQ. 

Bachmann just stated that America's founding fathers (including John Quincy Adams  ) ended the evil scourge on America known as slavery. So much for that little skirmish we had call the Civil War. 

This woman...is an idiot.

actually the civil war was fought for many other reasons besides slavery...slavery wasnt driving force behind the civil war

[Soul Crusher]

Liberals love attacking women for some reason, esepcially hotties who fire full bore on far left freaks like bama.

True, but JQA had been dead for almost 15 years by the time the civil war came about.

That said, in the strictest sense, the end of slavery in the Northern states did start around the time the American revolution was over (Emancipation in Massachusetts was in 1777) and continued into the early 19th century.

However, the idea behind slavery (ie states rights) was an absolute reason behind the civil war, and in that respect, so was slavery itself.

correct but again slavery wasnt the main issue

you do know that some slave states fought for the north?

the civil war would have happend without slavery being in the equation

ppl that think that the north went to war to free slaves from the evil south are just dead wrong

Again, I think the big picture would say that in a round about way it was... If you focus on the issue of "slavery" in the myopic sense, then of course not... but if you focus on the effect that slavery had on the issue of states rights... because it was the main "right" that the government was at that time dealing with, then you would say that it is.

Without slavery, then the issue of states rights would most likely not have even been brought to the front at that time.

Do you disagree? If so, then what issue was more prevalent to the rights of the individual states?

Id have to agree but succession also played a huge role in the civil war as well, the idea that states could not succed etc...

the civil war wouldnt have happend if not for the succession

but i can see your point although again the idea of slavery wasnt what drove ppl to war it was the idea of states rights and slavery just happend to be the way that the issue manifested itself.

that is why you had slave states that fought with the union and not just the confederacy.

I agree, but succession was also discussed because the states wanted to right to have slaves and the federal government was trying to keep it from spreading.

The larger prospect of state's rights was the big thing... sure, but the right which caused the talk of succession was also in fact, slavery.

Good luck with that, PEA BRAIN.

As usual, you are utterly and completely...WRONG! Poor "TonyMcNuts." 

Even if poor Tony knew what he was talking about, it would not save Balloon Head from the massive stupidity of her statement.

Seriously hate to see you ruin a thread with stupid ass photos like that... I really need to stay of the politics board.

Rational discourse is absolutely lost around here.

[Benny B]

It absolutely was, dumb ass. 

you do know that some slave states fought for the north?

Which states are these, and what would that have to do with the fact that the Civil War was based primarily on the expansion of slavery to the western territories? 

the civil war would have happend without slavery being in the equation

idiot

ppl that think that the north went to war to free slaves from the evil south are just dead wrong

No, but that isn't the argument you started off making, "TonyMcNuts." You have stated that slavery was not the main issue of the Civil War, and that is a lie.

I don't need to, McNuts.  You are the equivalent of a high-functioning moron.

I try... No one wants to have a serious talk about it.

It's pretty simple though...

Public Option would have been good... ObamaCare as passed bad.

Mexi-Trucks no import duties... bad.

[Benny B]

Fantastic retort! And you are not "laughing out loud", so cut the bullshit.

Just as I suspected...I call him on his lack of knowledge and all of a sudden McNuts tells us, "Sorry, I gotta run! I'm too busy to respond."
*yawn* 

Who's got next!

[tu_holmes]

I just mean in general... I'm agreeing with you on this.

People want to talk about stupid shit and nothing that really matters.
