Michele Bachmann is a "Sarah Palin with a brain"?!?

[Leonel]

At least she and her speechwriters knew the Taj Mahal is in India and that China is nearby.

I'm even more surprised that they knew the historical significance of the Taj Mahal!

 

[GamezRule]

The Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim ruler. I am surprised they don't consider it a memorial to jihad.

Bachmann speaking about Democrats:

In Maryland, Bachmann calls Democrats a 'cabal of radicals’

“We are unwilling to let this cabal of radicals pull the rug of freedom out from under us in our lifetime. Now we have this glorious opportunity called November,” she said.

She added that the Founding Fathers created the United States under the name of God. “Only God gives liberty, freedom and only God gives the right to happiness. Which isn’t just a license for hedonism. Pursuit of happiness means the right to your labor,” she added.

Her remarks start at the 5:00 mark:

Thanks to the Daily Show for a heads-up on this one. Jon Stewart's comment was:

The rug of freedom? Were you just looking around your living room when you wrote that speech?

"We will not let the radicals change the light bulb of justice sit on the La-Z-Boy chaise of liberty. We will find the remote and change the channel of America."

From the same Daily Show segment, the comments on at least one Republican not understanding how bills become law resulted in this delightful tirade from Anthony Weiner:

So I bought you this, House Mouse Senate Mouse, which is sold in the gift shop to teach children how to understand the Constitution.

Perhaps if this were the rules the Republicans had to follow, it is a much thinner book and it rhymes, maybe you'd get it right.

It appears the Republican intellectuals are finally taking over the party...

That is awsome!

"Gotta" it is just a Southern thing. LoL

We have to give her some credit for recognizing a birth certificate.

So we can at least say she is more intellectually advanced than the Birthers.

 

[Ajidica]

She is just trying to appear more inteligent for her presidential run but creating a group she can point to and say "I'm not as crazy as them, therefore, I'm a moderate".

She was a birther until Stephanopoulos claimed to have a legitimate birth certificate in his hands. And she still is a birther in the sense that it still needs it to be "introduced" as absolute proof before she will accept it. Then she will finally become an ex-birther.

If this nut case gets elected you can bet I am moving to Canada.

 

[Ajidica]

Stay here for the lols.

If this nut case gets elected you can bet I am moving to Canada.

So many people say this. I'm always curious: how?

We are going to disguise ourselves as heavily armed milk bottle babies.

Perhaps Mexico will take us.

I'm not letting you in.

Exchange program. We send you the wusses, you send us Harper and the Conservatives. Once Bachmanns turn is up you will find a bunch of Communists where the Conservatives used to be.

Why not? I would fit in perfectly with you liberals north of the border!

So many people say this. I'm always curious: how?

Is it hard to get into Canada as an American?

 

[Ajidica]

Saw it a couple months ago before Bachmann because a potential *shudder* presidential candidate. All it shows is that some rednecks are either really bad at humor or in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "My only explanation is that some Americans have been breeding with vegetables".

 

[Cutlass]

Is it hard to get into Canada as an American?

I haven't crossed the border in a couple of years, but the last time I did they didn't even ask me my name. Getting a job and staying there is probably a different story.

I wish we had some sort of unrestricted working/living agreement with Canada like the E.U has with all its member states.

Do we really want canadians in America, what with their moose and syrup loving ways? Do we really want their hockey players taking jobs away from American hockey players? Do we really want their funny foreign accents saying "What aboot it, eh?".
