(9,688 posts)15. I don't like it when the bar is set so low.
Rather, when the opposition sets the bar so low.
It's disgraceful that Michele Bachmann has the voice (empowered by voters!) that she has.
Does the USA want to bury itself in wingnut stupidity, just for the entertainment value? There're consequences that come along with that, the most destructive consequence being that well-reasoned discussions about serious issues are smothered and die.
To be sure, when the bar is that low and one is happy that it's that low, then all one has to do is slide into home base on the muck.
