Michele Bachmann is not smart enough to be a politician

I don’t understand how someone can be so smart at being dumb. And if there was a sports game for dumb Republicans the MVP would be Michelle Bachmann. This lady is the pinnacle of unintelligence she has nothing in her head except hallow space. I see no hope for my future when I’m done with my engineering degree in college if we allow people like this to have any kind of authority over us. Facts to Michelle Bachmann are like kryptonite to superman. She thinks Obama is an anti-American president and is secretly a terrorist and that’s just tip of the iceberg when it comes to her laughable theories. She also said that Planned Parenthood wanted to be the lens crafters of abortion. And that they are a huge cooperation and have one of the biggest lobbyist backings in our government. Even though the truth is that abortion is in the single digits of their business and they spent under a million dollars in lobbying. The chamber of commerce spent over 33 million dollars for lobbying efforts. She thinks Carter was the president in 1976 but if I’m not mistaken wasn’t it Ford. She thinks FDR started the great depression despite him not being president that signed the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act. Most people agree that this was the cause of the economic down spiral known as the great depression. And she also called it “Hawley Smoot” which show how much homework she did on it. Also this happened in a congressional hearing which is embarrassing as a nation that some politicians don’t know high school American History. And when she was on fox news she said the “shot heard around the world” which was the beginning of the revolutionary war was in New Hampshire and not in Massachusetts. Later Bachmann blamed that it was an Obama teleprompter. She also supports an armed revolt against the president and the USA government this is a very dangerous women. She also blames swine flu because Obama is president.And also said that carbon dioxide is harmless and global warming is a myth. She thinks that our founding fathers ended slavery despite the fact that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams all were slave owners and slaver wasn’t abolished until the civil war. She also said in a debate if she was president she would elect thirteen more senators. Which I could of swore I learned in elementary school that the people and not the president elect government officials through a process called voting. In an interview with Larry king when she called the fox news channel the most popular and honest news TV show she clearly doesn’t understand basic math either.

I heard on NPR once that's she's always saying that she's against farm subsidies yet belongs to an LLC that owns lots of land zoned agricultural and collects big bucks. When confronted about it she used the "that's personal business" playbook.

got elected was a take out by Jesse Ventura's group of dolts. This is the outcome of a three way race. We predicted this when we lived in Mn 6th. All the fundies jumped on her band wagon and whipped our ass at the door knocking and lit drops. When you put bodies on the ground,with purpose,you WIN.. Mn 6th was at the time run by a bunch of,it's my turn I was here first and don't piss the other guys off idiots. Got out flanked by the NWA and Honeywell do gooders. How ironic,both groups are no longer a political force,all the glad handing and back slapping cost thousands of jobs. They are gone and their jobs are in China. This is what happens when the DLCer's get control of your district.

Got BALLS,you will get elected with a Progressive platform.

To pander to idiots that think that the earth is 6000 years old, and Obama is secretly a Muslim who was born in Kenya.
