Who knew that T-Paw, the candidate as exciting as Wonder Bread, would throw the first jab?
“I like Congresswoman Bachmann. I’ve campaigned for her. I respect her. But her record of accomplishment in Congress is non-existent, it’s non-existent. And so we’re not looking for folks who just have speech capabilities. We’re looking for people who can lead a large enterprise in a public setting and drive it to conclusion. I’ve done that, she hasn’t.”
He then lists his accomplishments and says he has the “record of toughness” of all the candidates eyeing the GOP nomination. He set a record for vetoes, which I guess is good stuff for the Party of No. He also took more money out of the budget using executive powers than all governors in Minnesota combined. So don’t you question his authority!
Bachmann countered with an overhand right.
“Instead of negativity, I want to focus on my accomplishments,” she said. “People can count on me as a fighter; I am proud of my record of fighting with resolve, and without apology, for our free markets, for sane fiscal policies, and in opposition to the advancement of the big government left.”
Bam! That’s how it’s done, son!
Message to T-Paw: Soft jab. Don’t forget that she’s been around a lot longer. This ain’t her first time at the rodeo. To really catch her, you’ll have to do it live. She doesn’t have the time to calculate a response. That’s her Achilles’ Heel. If all else fails, you can tell her she’s sexy. Just kidding.

But she has something that he cannot buy….charisma

And a pulse. 😛

He said, she said…blah blah blah
July 11th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
Haha you crack me Don.

Oh boy! it’s started. Can’t wait till Sarah starts chiming in.

Have you seen this???

She complained about Newsweek showing her legs, but posing one step away from a wet t-shirt is A-OK now.
Insert trademarked insult here.
(Spinny knows what I mean 🙂 !)
July 11th, 2011 at 9:29 AM
Haha yes I do. 😛
July 11th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
This is going to be one insane primary. I’ll get the popcorn.
July 11th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
The juggling will be fast and furious.
(Wonder if Bachmann borrows the ones she juggles from her closeted husband? You know he’s got some hidden away.)

That man is 20 kinds of gay. And like Maher said, you don’t need dar to figure that out.

My post today is about The Silly Season and how SCOTUS has fucked us w/regard to campaign financing laws.
The first round of smarmy campaign commercials featured the fuckwits in LA that went after Janice Hahn with the most racist, sexist PAC-funded ad ever made in the history of campaign ads.
The election is tomorrow. The R is behind by 8 pts..lets hope that hold up, as it’s for Jane Harmon’s seat.
July 11th, 2011 at 8:59 PM
Oh totally. “Roberts Court.” And your picture was right on – “The Best Elections Money Can Buy.” I remember seeing that ad on DK. Repugnant.
July 11th, 2011 at 6:51 AM
Well – she definitely works without apology – or ever being incorrect – even when she’s totally wrong. Bachmann is like Palin, I always get the sense someone is behind her writing her stuff and pouring it in her head at night while the world sleeps. So he shouldn’t really attack her on the Sunday Morning shows – it gives her ghost brain too much time to write a response and feed it to her. Public debate is her twilight zone.
July 11th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
I really do believe that someone on that campaign is writing her responses. They’re pretty good at it too. And T-Paw saying that on the Sunday morning shows was such a rookie move.
July 11th, 2011 at 8:08 PM
I still can’t believe she’s leading in the Iowa polls… what is this world coming to.
PS. TPaw will probably retract his statement, just like he did when he called healthcare reform Obamney Care.
July 11th, 2011 at 8:44 PM
I don’t know. Maybe because she was born in Iowa? I really don’t want to face the possibility that that many people think she’s presidential material. ObamneyCare died at that debate. Hilariously. He didn’t own it which makes him a total wuss.
Thanks for reading and commenting! 🙂

The Iowa R’s are the biggest bag of hammers in the nation. Seriously..they are so far right it’s scary. So that means the outcome has nothing to do w/the rest of the primaries in the nation, as thankfully no where else do you find such a large collection of batshit crazy voters..BFD if she wins it.
July 12th, 2011 at 12:52 AM
what favor did timmeh do himself? he said that she has no record in congress to speak of, and that’s true. however, since that is true, why the hell did he campaign for her instead of someone who would actually accomplish something in congress? i’d love for someone to ask him that.
