Michele Bachmann mulls run for Al Franken's Senate seat

[Emjay]

You and me both.

I don't care What the media decides to nit pick in her taking in 23 foster children at various times, for varying times.

23 children needed help.

She took them in.

I know.  She didn't just say YOU take them in, she took them in.  And I find nothing wrong with her policies either.

She's got "Sarah Palin" disease.

Unless you're trying to say you brought it down I really don't see what the issue is.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Bachman said she was in favor of continuing to waterboard terrorists, and was pilloried as a monster for it.

Animals who dismembered living American Contractors and hung their corpses from a bridge.

But SHE was the one being out of line?

Mike Lindell, the My Pillow dude, should run.  He did so much coke, his dealer staged an intervention.  The campaign would make Moore's seem G-rated.

[Jazzhead]

As President Trump tweeted following Roy Moore's defeat:  "If last night's election proved anything, it proved that we need to put up GREAT Republican candidates." 

He's right - we'll prosper if we can persuade folks like Tim Pawlenty to run,  able to win votes statewide with responsible conservative policies,  and we'll fail if all we can attract are the kooks.

They always tell you who they fear.  It  never fails.

Pay no mind, she's been in a pissy mood for about a year.

She's been correctly ridiculed for saying some dumb things like CO2 isn't dangerous, HPV vaccines made someone retarded, and John Quincy Adams was a founding father. 

Idiocy in government should be feared.  It's similar to wondering how the astronauts planting the American flag on Mars or the Guam tipping over types ever got elected.

[Silver Pines]

Seriously, does anyone think Michele Bachman is feared?  The woman who said vaccines cause mental retardation?

And Jim Bakker—really?

I think people in government who believe CO2 is dangerous are themselves dangerous, to our economy.  You're right about the other two, though....

[DCPatriot]

I like her.  What the heck is wrong with her?

Meh! 

With President Trump, we need fresh, new faces in Washington. 

She's too...., uh....., close to Christine O'Donnell territory, IMO. 

Public figures who cannot have a conversation without citing the power of God's Grace, draw attention to themselves.

We should move on.

During a 2008 speech, Bachmann called global warming “voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax,” and in a 2009 Earth Day speech in Congress she claimed that “carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas.”

This is a galactically stupid thing to say.  Why does she think submarines have CO2 scrubbers?

What she said is a bit over the top, but I doubt she was talking about submarines.  I didn't know she was until you quoted her.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I know.  She didn't just say YOU take them in, she took them in.  And I find nothing wrong with her policies either.

I don' t think anyone's belittling Bachmann for her decision here, or at least I'm not @Emjay .  She may be a lovely, conservative woman ..... but we need someone who can win a statewide election and offset the loss in Alabama. 

I don't believe she's that candidate.  She won her seat in 2012 50.5% to 49.3%....and this was after six years in Congress.

Let's get smart and move on.

The people who operate submarines do not breathe carbon dioxide but billions and billions of plants, without which we would have no food, do.   They love the stuff and anyone who thinks carbon dioxide is harmful is galalactly stupid.

She was talking about CO2 in general, but in a global warming context.  I added the part about submarines.  I'm not a chemist or a physician and I know she's dead wrong.  Hell - there's even such a thing as oxygen toxicity.

As a purely political matter, I agree with you:  She will not win in MN.  Bottom line.

Maybe you should ask Trump.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/us/politics/climate-change-trump-hoax-scott-pruitt.html

WASHINGTON — As a businessman, President Trump was a frequent and scornful critic of the concept of climate change. In the years before running for president, he called it “nonexistent,” “mythical” and a “a total con job.” Whenever snow fell in New York, it seemed, he would mock the idea of global warming.

“Global warming has been proven to be a canard repeatedly over and over again,” he wrote on Twitter in 2012. In another post later that year, he said, “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” A year later, he wrote that “global warming is a total, and very expensive, hoax!”

The HPV vaccine has a higher death rate then the cancer it's meant to prevent.

CO2 as a Globull Warming matter is wrong as all get-out.  This may come as a bit of a shock, but CO2 is NOT going to be responsible for the death of us all, or the planet.   It's being bushed as a matter of leftist faith, to enable the left to seize control of the world economy.

If she says CO2 isn't causing Globull Warming, it's the one thing she is the most correct about.

I have no idea.  I don't even know where I could get statistics I would believe about it.

Sounds like an Al-Gorean prophesy of CO2 doom. Pretty ballsy of you to just make it a matter of minutes.

First you said she was wrong about submarines, now you're telling somebody the CO2 from a plastic bag is dangerous.

You can drink enough water to kill you, too.
