Don't know much about her, but damn she is a great looking woman!
Hottest congresswoman ever maybe?
How did I not know about her before you mentioned her name?

LOL How many people are really up on South Dakota politics? I probably wouldn't know about her except for the NRA. How many House seats are contested between two hot, pro-gun, pro-freedom, lifetime NRA member, active hunter females? But once you DO know about her, she's damned hard to forget, huh?

Y'all should check out this article from The Capitolist:

:eek:
Eek? She's a freakin' Goddess, an ultra-hot rebel who is also a friggin' BOWHUNTER! How cool is that? Crazy driving only makes her hotter.

All she needs to do is slap a Department of Motor Vehicles employee and tell the IRS to kiss her shapely ass and I'm on board with the Kristi Noem President for Life committee! Screw democracy, it's the ultra cool fox party.

You know, you have to wonder if one of the other GOP candidates (Newt maybe?) is using Bachman to take primary votes away from Palin/Huck/Mitt...

Perhaps Half-Governor Palin wanted the chance to appear "the smart one"...

Heh. Any rational Republican will have a tough time getting past the Birther base of the party that always votes in the primaries, always...

I don't think Bachmann is stupid, maybe crazy, but she does know how to pander to the base...

Her boobs are too small, but with a little plastic surgery I'm sure she could give grizzly mama a run for her money.

Don't call her a dumb twat. What else is a conservative girl to do when she's not that bright, has a mouth on her, but is good looking? It's not like she's a good actress or good looking enough to be a model. The only other alternative is porn!

You gonna steal Bill Maher's material? It dosn't bother you that he called her a DUMB TWAT right afterwards?

Heh heh. Bill's got a lot of great material, I don't think he'd mind. I agree with him that she's a dumb twat though I just call her what some Alaskans have called her, "The Dingbat".

I love it.

Candidates like Bachmann are going to drag the Republicans primaries to the far right, which should be fun to watch, and will decrease the chance of any of them actually winning.

I sure hope she runs.
I haven’t seen insane revolving eyes like hers since that one episode of The Twilights Zone. You know... the one with that lady with the insane revolving eyes.

I really feel for her husband. He wakes up slowly every morning, glances over and
there are those eyes staring at him. I can just hear him every morning...
(Startled) "Fu*K!!! Oh Holly sh*t... Oh.. sorry about that, again. I gotta piss".

Personally I'm pretty lukewarm on Bachman; I find her far too socially conservative, and she doesn't seem to me to be particular bright even for a politician.

Lukewarm, eh?

So . . . the fact that she's disturbingly intemperate and seriously ungrounded in reality in her opinions and actions at best, and batshit insane at worst . . . this somehow doesn't totally preclude her from your considerations and you remain lukewarm?

Really?

How do you feel about Kim Jong-il? Also . . . lukewarm? A tad too unresponsive on that pesky periodic famine issue but intrigued by his claimed ability to control the weather?

:rolleyes:

Her opinions and statements do preclude her from my considerations in the primary, but I would prefer her to many if not most Democrats who might oppose her. Should she beat the odds and receive the Republican nomination, I'll simply vote Libertarian, unless the Dems run someone really scary - like Kucinich or Biden.

My views on Kim Jung-il are the same as on any of you far lefties (see Kucinich or Biden referenced above.) :D

This is not a concern for 2012.

Agreed. I wondered for awhile if Obama would even run again, since he seemed so disengaged, but it's now clear that he'll run again and will not be seriously challenged.

This keeps getting better by the day.

The more important question is, will the GOP nominate someone who is guaranteed to lose and keep their ace for 2016, or nominate their ace and guarantee them a loss?

It's by no means a sure thing that Obama will be re-elected. Most Americans tend to think the President runs the economy, and therefore hold him and his party responsible for the state of it.

If not for the economic crisis or if the economy turns around before next fall then Obama is basically 99.99% in.

If the economy is more or less the same as it is today then theres a small chance Obama could lose, if the right candidate is put forward, not really sure who that is yet or if he even exists.

I think the new census data will also take affect in 2012 so it will make it even harder for Obama.

If I had to bet today I'd say Obama keeps the presidency and the republicans pick up the senate and keep the house.
