Lol - I just turned on CNN and guess who they are gushing over for their performance at the debate?

:hi:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

1. MSNBC pundits said she won, too! n/t

[jillan]

4. Seriously? Who is saying that? Matthews?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Joan Walsh, Michael Eric Dyson, the entire panel on Ed Schultz's show! n/t

[jillan]

18. Wow - it's unanimous! Wonder who faux is saying won the debate?

[dennis4868]

2. I have never seen....

a politician lie as much as she does and that's saying alot....the worse lie of the night is shen she said that Obama care would costs 800,000 jobs according to the CBO....WTF? CBO never said that...A LIE!

[LynnTTT]

17. Extrapolation

That may be the usual right wing flip. As I recall, either the CBO or another group said that some jobs would be lost because the health care plan would allow people who wanted to retire to do so because they could go out and buy health insurance-they wouldn't have to keep working until 65 when they get Medicare.

The actual CBO statement: "The legislation, on net, will reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by a small amount _roughly half a percent_ primarily by reducing the amount of labor that workers choose to supply,"

The important part is " that workers choose to supply".

3. "She's a 'Game-Changer'"!

Bachmann is, after all, the Tea Party candidate among them all, so that makes her the media darling.

The interesting part will be when Sarah Palin announces.

Strange times we're in.

Strange, indeed.

:patriot:

[jillan]

5. Very strange times indeed!

[Enthusiast]

23. So strange as

to be incredulous. It requires a very special explanation. It's an ugly explanation that no one would want to hear.

[WheelWalker]

6. So was Palin...

a "game-changer" that is.

[jillan]

9. Hi WW - good to see you!

:pals:

[WheelWalker]

11. Mutuality furthers...

Blessings, P

[Xipe Totec]

10. A freak show in every respect. nt

[kevinbgoode]

13. Exactly. . .the media continues to try to convince us

that the Tea Party is a "grassroots" movement with millions and millions and millions of followers. . .a sort of right-wing John Doe.

[unblock]

16. osama bin laden was a "game-changer", too.

being a "game-changer" isn't always a good thing.

[chollybocker]

19. Bill Buckner was a "game-changer," too.

;) !

[MessiahRp]

26. Ouch. That one hurts.

No Buckner, please. :)

[Angry Dragon]

7. The eyes!! ........... The eyes!!

Newt's wife has the same eyes.
Same woman just different wigs??
Perhaps they just pass the same woman around................

[tishaLA]

8. well when Santorum's "this or that" question was

KY or Astroglide, you knew they were setting up a Bachmann win narrative.

[jillan]

12. Rofl! I only caught a little of the debate - I saw when they asked Cain "Deep dish or thin crust"

I'll sleep better knowing that he prefers deep dish - haha - wtf CNN??

[spanone]

15. run bachmann run

[Jane Austin]

20. From what I saw of it, she was the only one

with any charisma - even thought she's nuts.

The others are horribly boring and white bread.

She stood out because she was more interesting.

E.J. Dionne also thought Bachman won it tonight.

[pampango]

21. Wiki's take on her policy positions - something to behold.

Political positions

Education policy: Bachmann supports the teaching of intelligent design in public school science classes. During a 2003 interview on the KKMS Christian radio program Talk The Walk, Bachmann said that evolution is a theory that has never been proven one way or the other.

Fiscal policy: Bachmann opposes minimum wage increases. Bachmann supports increased domestic drilling of oil and natural gas, as well as pursuing renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar, and is a strong proponent of nuclear power. ... She wrote that education laws passed by Congress in 2001, including "School To Work" and "Goals 2000", created a new national school curriculum that embraced "a socialist, globalist worldview; loyalty to all government and not America."

Social Security and Medicare: Bachmann has called for phasing out of Social Security and Medicare: ...what you have to do, is keep faith with the people that are already in the system, that don’t have any other options, we have to keep faith with them. But basically what we have to do is wean everybody else off.

Foreign policy: Bachmann says in dealing with Iran, diplomacy "is our option", but that other options, including a nuclear strike, shouldn't be taken off the table.

Global economy: In a discussion about the G-20 summit in Toronto, during an interview with conservative radio host Scott Hennen, Bachmann stated that she does not want America to be part of the international global economy.

Social issues: Bachmann supports both a federal and state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and any legal equivalents. In support of a constitutional amendment she proposed to ban same-sex marriage. Bachmann said that the gay community was specifically targeting children and that "our children ... are the prize for this community, they are specifically targeting our children".

25. "Bachmann says in dealing with Iran,

diplomacy "is our option", but that other options, including a nuclear strike, shouldn't be taken off the table."


I wonder if a clip of this is available online. This is fucking incredible, even worse than "Bomb bomb bomb Iran".

22. "Gushing" Unbelievable!

A religious extremist as president? Just great.
