She called her adoring fans to come together for a rally and she didn’t even get one hundred people to attend.
With the latest budget showdown looming next week, Rep. Michele Bachmann said Thursday that she’s looking for a fight.
“We’ve never said we want to see government shut down," Bachmann told reporters before speaking at a Tea Party rally outside the U.S. Capitol. "What we want is a true fight — we truly want to fight to cut government spending.”
But one has to be rolling on the floor laughing at the number of people who attended her rally. It is not just laughable, it is downright pitiful. Well, pity is the last thing to come to my mind when dealing with an abrasive, irrational, incompetent and ignorant politician. We should all feel sorry for her but we don’t.
This is what Rubin, a Michele Bachmann fan had to say:
“Bachmann’s greatest challenge, should she run for president in 2012, will be to convince a wide cross-section of voters that she isn’t the media’s cartoon figure. But she’ll have to do it without dampening the enthusiasm of her most devoted supporters. However, candidly, the biggest challenge will be for the other candidates, who will have to debate a very smart, articulate and entirely underestimated woman. As one Republican operative told me, “Hey, I wouldn’t want to get on that stage with her.” And that is precisely why a Bachmann candidacy, far from being a “joke” or a “farce,” might be the most interesting thing to happen to the 2012 GOP primary race.”
She's far from being a joke or a farce exactly the way Sarah Palin is far from a joke or a farce. After all, that anyone with such little intellectual heft and qualification can be lauded as a potential Presidential candidate is no laughing matter. One has to wonder what measuring stick these people are using to determine Bachmann’s intelligence or Sarah Palin’s for that matter. Time and time again these two have demonstrated a general lack of knowledge in most matters that would be crucial if elected President of the United States.
