@DCGoldPants Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Rep. Bachmann says she won't run for re-election WASHINGTON (AP) -- Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, a conservative firebrand and a favorite of tea party Republicans, said Wednesday she will not run for another term in the U.S. House. Bachmann, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination last year, announced her decision in a video on her website. "My decision was not influenced by any concerns about my being re-elected," Bachmann said. She narrowly won a fourth term in 2012 over Democrat Jim Graves, a hotel chain founder who is running again in 2014. Bachmann also said, "This decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries into the activities of my former presidential campaign." In January, a former Bachmann aide filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming Bachmann made improper payments to an Iowa state senator who was the state chairman of her 2012 presidential run. The aide, Peter Waldron, also accused Bachmann of other FEC violations. More from the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I am trying to think of a single person on either side who's been fact-checked and shown to be wrong/lying as often as her. This country will be a better place without her has an elected official. However, her next move probably to TV could be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Michele Bachmann: A Fact Checker’s dreamThe announcement that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is not seeking reelection will leave the Capitol a much less interesting place to fact check. As one of our colleagues put it, “The entire fact checking industry may have to hold a national day of mourning.” Bachmann is not just fast and loose with the facts; she is consistently and unapologetically so. No other lawmaker earned as high a percentage of Four-Pinocchio ratings as Bachmann — and she earned an average of more than Three Pinocchios as a presidential candidate. Thus she provided a window into the no-holds-barred politics that has come to characterize modern-day Washington. Just this year, she has earned four Four-Pinocchio ratings. Below are links to those columns — as well as a round-up of her worst campaign-related comments. Click on the headline to read the full column. Her 4 pinocchio comments are in the article....click the link for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Our favorite lady. She hasn't been in the news lately, but this was funny to me. My question is how do "accidentally" send it? Batteries Not Included? Christian Group ‘Accidentally’ Sends Michele Bachmann A Vibrator Fresh on the heels of the revelation from soon-to-be-ex-congresswoman Michele Bachmann that she would like to spank President Obama and take his “magic wand” away from him, we learn that a conservative religious group mailed her a gift that they thought she could use: a vibrator. According to BuzzFeed, Rex Elsass, CEO of the conservative Christian political consulting firm Strategy Group For Media, “accidentally” sent Bachmann “female pleasure machines.” BuzzFeed reports that Elsass had intended to send Bachmann a head massager to help with her migraines, but the employee who was tasked to purchase the massager bought something that was described as more closely resembling a sex toy. Rick Tyler, president of Strategy Group, said that the object in question was purchased at Brookstone and was not a sex toy. However, Brookstone began selling what they call “pleasure objects” in 2011, so just saying that the massager was purchased at Brookstone doesn’t automatically mean that it wouldn’t be something that Bachmann could use on the “naughty bits.” The story continues that the offending instrument was “intercepted” by the Christian group before Bachmann received it. This suggests that federal law may have been broken and there should be calls for a Watergate-style investigation by congress to get to the bottom of this. There are many things we don’t know about this affair, among themhttp://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/07/17/michele-bachmann-massager/ Also in the Huff Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/17/michele-bachmann-vibrator-conservative-consultants_n_3611097.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean any people who believe in the rapture, etc. I mean people who hold public office, believe in it, and base policy decisions around it. Frightening.
