Can We Kiss Michele Goodbye...Please!




Although it is still early Tuesday evening, I am anxious to see the results in Iowa in hopes that just maybe, we can kiss Michele Bachmann goodbye.  I do believe she will garner more votes than Jon Huntsman but that should be about it.  How she has made it this long is beyond me.  I suspect no matter what the results in Iowa turn out to be, Michele will be around at least through the South Carolina primary.  Some folks just don't know when to quit. 
Recently, she has been vocal about being the only Republican candidate that can beat President Barack Obama.  She really must be clueless to how she is viewed across America by anyone who is not an ultra-right wing conservative.  Frankly, I must confess that I am confused how she could have been elected to her house seat from the State of Minnesota.  The folks in her district must not watch much television or read newspapers or even go online. 
If they did, that is if they watched television, read newspapers or received their news online, they would have read or heard the following during this campaign season:
"And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it."  and
"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." and
 "The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax.  Its all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax."  and
"Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization.  Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?'  The message is:  I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay."  and
"But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States."  and
"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful.  But there isn't even a study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."  and
"Unfortunately, the Census data has become very intricate, very personal, a lot of questions that are asked.  I know for my family, the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home.  We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."  and finally
"(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years.  I am not understating that."
Clearly, I have never quite figured out whether I should be insulted or just plain embarrassed by her ignorance.  President of the United States.  I think not!
