“If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that's how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps. I'm not saying that that's what the Administration is planning to do, but I am saying that private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps.''
"He said he wanted to go in for humanitarian purposes and overnight we are hearing that potentially 10 to 30,000 people could have been killed in the strike. Those are some of the reports."
"The NATO strikes killed 10,000 to 30,000 people?" an incredulous Wallace asked.
"A report that came out last night from the Tripoli ambassador said that potentially there could be 10,000 to 30,000," Bachmann insisted.
Gaffes from Obama, Palin, Biden, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, etc are largely based on ignorance of facts or just misstatements. Bachmann's public gaffes seemed to rooted in an alternative education or news from conspiracy websites that she has studied and is now reciting as a government official. I cannot take the opinion of anyone seriously will not acknowledge the simple fact that she has an obscene amount of gaffes for someone running for president.
Zealot social views:
''(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.'' ''Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.'' He signed a pledge that banned divorce, brought back DADT, discriminated against women in the military, and would create a Constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage, and contained pro-slavery language. thefamilyleader.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/themarriagevow.final_.7.7.111.pdf
Ignorant Beliefs on Basic Science:
''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''
Economics:
"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage—if conceivably it was gone—we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." lets not have a quote fight on Bachmann. It like playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun.
The keyword is
Senator. A state wide elected official. A 3 term
House member, especially one that has not chaired any committees, will not be able to compete against accomplished
Governors with executive and economic experience. This election is about jobs and economy. Bachmann doesn't have anything to show on that, unlike Perry, Pawlenty, Palin, and Romney.
A straight House member has never gotten their party's nomination and it won't happen this time either.
The open primary process will make it impossible for her to win NH. I never said NH hated her. Her views are too far to the right even for some in her party. Why on earth would would her chances with Indy's in any state be valuable?
Her chances in IW and nationwide will diminish once Perry steps in. A credible candidate with a economic resume and good reputation that can garner trust and respect from all the GOP contingencies ( religious , economic, defense) and independents. Not the jokes and cringes that Bachmann receives. The donors and big name surrogates that have sitting on sidelines waiting their anti Romney savior (who isn't named Bachmann) will finally jump it too.
....And now I'm suddenly a liberal. I'm all about cutting the debt and low taxes. I voted for a GOP governors and senators. But I guess that's what the GOP has become nowadays. Anyone who points out the obvious fact that Bachmann is a joke is suddenly is no longer pure. Great litmus test.
Have I said any wrong about the people who vote Bachmann? I'm Christan myself. Drop the victimhood and deal with the facts. Obama is weak and this is a very winnable election. But their is a part of the GOP keeps pushing joke candidates like Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Paladino. I think i've seen the end of this movie before.
