Michelle Bachman says Government is the opposite of Freedom and Liberty.
In a new ad just played on Hardball.

"We could embrace government as the answer to our problems, or we could choose freedom and liberty... (*snip*) ...Because my heart is for you, for your children, and for the blessings of liberty to remain for our great country."

2. Then why does she want to be part of Government?
To destroy it, of course! Stupid bitch.

8. Well, she'll be liberated all right.
They may have to drag her away kicking and screaming, but she'll be liberated.

9. I think the voters of MN will do it for her...
Which means Bachmann will greet them with flowers...

or something like that.

3. Right, Freedom and Liberty
unless she deems you to be Anti American, in which case you need to be investigated. Wonder what punishment she's envisioned for people who are found guilty of being "Anti American", anyway.

6. That's what I was thinking. Sounded like something Emma Goldman would've said.

13. An Awful, Deceptive, Desperate Ad
Tweety pointed out some of the games being played here. Bachmann doesn't offer any appology for what she said, but just how it came out. The spot is loaded with codewords like "blessings"...a plea to the wingnuts to rise up to her aid.

Bachmann is like Palin, Marilyn Musgrove and Marsha Blackburn and a bunch of these other "bible honeys"...they carry water for the religious right and she's gonna need every church bus filled if she's gonna survive election day. For anyone else, this spot was a joke...let's see where the numbers go.

14. Sorry, but she's right.
As long as you're talking about Republican-led government.

Abu Ghraib, PATRIOT Act, Heimatssicherheit--I mean Homeland Security, etc.
