Bachmann: Wisconsin Republicans are like Lincoln, Reagan

[L. Coyote]

Rep. Michele Bachmann told radio host Mark Levin on Friday evening that in facing protests by labor supporters Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Republicans are like President Abraham Lincoln, who fought the Confederacy, and President Reagan, who contended with the Soviet Union. But contrary to Bachmann’s assertion, Lincoln had more in common with the 14 Democrats who left the state to avoid a vote on the GOP bill to cut collective bargaining for Wisconsin workers: In 1840, he jumped out a window to avoid a vote on a bill he didn’t like.

“I’m just observing our neighbors to the east over there and having a laugh,” Bachmann said. “I’d say it’s a new revolution going on over there. We saw the great Ronald Reagan pushing back the Soviet Union in the eastern bloc nations. We saw Abraham Lincoln push back the Confederacy in Atlanta. And now we’re seeing the Republicans in Wisconsin causing the Democrats to retreat to Rockford, Illinois, so I’d say we’re winning!”

She added, “This is how liberals react. They don’t take no for an answer.”

1. Next time she turns up on your teevee, look at her eyes.

There's nothing there. You can actually see the inside of the back of her head if you look closely enough.

I think she's actually dumber than Palin, if that's possible.

2. No, no, no, she's palin with a brain! ...

:D

At a recent gathering in South Carolina, the site of a crucial early presidential primary next year, party activists said the former Alaska governor didn't have the experience, the knowledge of issues or the ability to get beyond folksy slang and bumper-sticker generalities that they think is needed to win and govern.

Many are shopping for someone else. They're looking at Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., for example, and seeing what they call a smarter, more experienced candidate who's equally as conservative.

"Sarah Palin with a brain," said Gail Moore, a Republican from Columbia.

3. I saw that...

But if you're from Minnesota you already know Bachmann has no brain. Maybe just a medulla, so she can walk around and breathe. But not an actual brain.

5. The only thing Bachmann has is a very secure district.

We are all the victims of her gerrymandered safe district, sad to say.

10. "Sarah Palin with a brain". Now THAT'S damning with faint praise!

:rofl:



So she's as smart as my cat?


Understand my cat is pretty smart. She lives a very low stress life, naps 20 hours a day, and keeps her mouth shut.

4. Function not data.

Some think people are property that they own. That is a delusion.

6. Ha! Lincoln jumped from a second-story window to stop a vote.

On December 5, 1840, Democrats "proposed an early adjournment, knowing this would bring a speedy end to the State Bank. The Whigs tried to counter by leaving the capitol building before the vote, but the doors were locked. That's when Lincoln made his move. He headed for the second story, opened a window and jumped to the ground!"

"For a while Lincoln's escape denied the House its quorum, but it didn't last long. He was returned to the chambers and the House voted to adjourn."

Sounds like Bachmann needs to learn a little history before she opens her trap. Good luck with that.

7. Like Lincoln when he skeedaddled from the Ill

statehouse so he could prevent a quorum in the hope of saving the Illinois State bank?

[Boswell]

8. or like Ronnie when he raised taxes?

[chollybocker]

9. Yeah right.

The words "Lincoln" and "Union" are hardly ever spoken together. :eyes:

Good grief, she's stupid.

11. "That is how liberals react. They don't take no for an answer."

DAMN straight ... they don't take NO for an answer!!!!! :evilgrin:
