Bachmann won't seek another term! Thank you, Jay-a-zus!!!

The real Republicans in Minnesota are thrilled she is a lame duck.

A few Teabaggers DID win in 2008 in the primary, only to lose in the general. (Murdoch, Akin), but it wasn't due to Republicans cleaning house.

Yup, you made the claim so you fail until you support it.

Uh, actually . . . Murdoch and Akin ran in 2012 and Republicans were the deciding factor in their defeat.

Guy, it's not my job to prove a negative.

If sensible, moderate Republicans were able to unseat a crazy teabagger, then you should be able to provide an example of that happening.

If it ever did.

The GOP tent is not big enough to include reactionaries other than letting them vote.

Frankly, maybe the GOP ought to let a real hard core conservative win instead of a guy like Romney or McCain who wants to be loved by the beltway establishment.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You made the claim, JoeB, you own it. That's how it is played here. Snap to it, sonny.

And, thank you for admitting your error on Mordoosh and Akbutt.

If this keeps up, Tina Fey will soon be out of work...

Kristin Wiig does Michele.

 

[Mertex]

I'd bet she's quitting because she's lined up something at Fox News or something else in the conservative media to make some real money.

She'll fit right in at Faux News - they can fill the position Palin vacated with Bachmann, they're about the same, not so bright and make a lot of noise.

 

[Stephanie]

If this keeps up, Tina Fey will soon be out of work...

she won't have to worry, she makes enough to keep her in her 1% with you fools who worship her.

 

[Borillar]

So now running for President is an embarrassment for a State?

huh

Yes, she was an embarrassment as a candidate on many levels. She was a National joke.

ummm, I guess they all can't be slick shysters who have the game down of fooling people

How do you think she got elected twice?

 

[Mertex]

Oh, please.

She got some internal polling that her support was dwindling, money was drying up, the Feds are taking a close look at her campaign financing...

She knew she was done. She's just leaving on her own terms.

Well THERE'S a real fast BACK PEDDLE.

But no, she has released a video giving the reasons for her leaving, and clearly she states that she believes 8 years is enough, for herself and EVERYONE ELSE. She is trying to set an example.

"The conservative lawmaker also made it clear that her decision not to run had nothing to do with the ongoing ethics investigation about alleged misconduct during her failed presidential campaign in 2012."


Truthiness?
Given Bachmann's history of lying her ass off, I'm guessing that whatever it is that Bachmann cited as the reason for quitting is exactly the opposite of why she says she's quitting.
.

Well of course!

the people and their obsession with fox...must chap their ass they can't get a station with all their screeching idiots (Maddcow, tingles Matthews..the mouth, Shultz) to number one..

At least Tina Fey is funny, what the excuse for conservatives worshiping Palin? Oh, never mind, she's funny, too!

Bye-bye, Michele...

If Liberals were "sheeple" and all would give up variety to watch fantasy, we probably would be #1, but that's the thing about Libs, they like to watch different stations, they're not glued to one station 24/7.

Top 10 bachmann quotes:

1."I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending." –Rep. Michele Bachmann, suggesting at a presidential campaign event in Florida that the 2011 East Coast earthquake and hurricane was a message from God (Aug. 2011)

2. "Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have, too" -Rep. Michele Bachmann, getting her John Waynes mixed up during an interview after launching her presidential campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, where she grew up. The beloved movie star John Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa, three hours away. The John Wayne that Waterloo was home to is John Wayne Gacy, a notorious serial killer. (June 2011)

3. "I will tell you that I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter." –Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), on the HPV vaccine, Fox News interview, Sept. 12, 2011

4. "Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, recalling in a 2006 speech at a Megachurch in Minneapolis that pursuing tax law wasn't her choice, but she did so at the urging of her husband because she was certain God was speaking through him

5. "I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?" -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, calling for a new McCarthyism, Oct. 2008

6. "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, on the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak that happened when Gerald Ford, a Republican, was president, April 28, 2009

7. "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, April, 2009

8. "If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." -Michele Bachmann, Jan. 2005

9. "But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States. ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly -- men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, botching American history while speaking at an Iowan's for Tax Relief event in January 2011. The Founding Fathers did not work to end slavery, and John Quincy Adams was not one of the Founding Fathers.

10. "Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, while campaigning for president in South Carolina on what was actually the anniversary of Elvis's death, Aug. 16, 2011 (Elvis was born on January 8)
