Michele Bachmann's Census Theories Too Much For Glenn Beck
It's pretty friggin' sad when you're too loony for Beck. That's kinda like being too stoned for Sturgis.

As we related yesterday, Michele Bachmann has drawn a line in the sand, and will not fill out the Census, and no one really cares because who in America really wants to see government resources allocated to the Bachmann demographic, anyway? Nevertheless, Bachmann is the Neda Agha Soltan of fighting ACORN and the Census. "Why does the government need our phone numbers?" complains Bachmann, making me wonder if she plans on robo-calling her constituents come re-election time. You know I'll be watching for that!

3. No!

The last three governor's races have been 3 way contests that have resulted with a governor who was elected with a plurality. (Ventura only got about 36% of the vote when he won). Votes could split between the DFL & Indpendence party and we'd wind up with batshit crazy Bachmann as governor.

13. It's easy to laugh about it when you're in Iowa
I have elderly relatives who might stroke out if Bachmann were elected.

Couldn't you just be content with continued possession of Floyd of Rosedale?



for those who need details on Floyd

4. I agree with Bachmann.. I think every Republican in the country should refuse to fill out the Census

Let's turn the whole country into blue states...

5. Make sure I call my congressman? Huh?
And say what, stop the census? It's in the constitution, isn't it?

My God, all you have to do in this country is be a batshit crazy politician or pop star and the M$M is willing to heap tons of airtime on you to spout your crazy bullshit.

. . . I can't remember, was there something going on in Iran a few days ago? Oh look! It's Waco Jacko!!!!!

7. I'm disappointed in Glenn Beck. She threw down the gauntlet and he didn't meet the challenge
C'mon, crying boy, ain'tcha crazy enough to go toe to toe with your greatest rival? You gonna leave her hanging off that cliff all by her lonesome?

8. To be honest, I'm not sure from that clip that he disagrees with her theories.
It looks to me like he's simply out of time and frustrated that she won't shut up. The problem for him many not be her theories, but rather her long-windedness.

11. I have NEVER filled out a Census
No one has ever asked me to and I have lived in the same house for more than 30 years.

I assume I don't matter enough :)
