Rep. Michele Bachmann told the far-right outlet WorldNetDaily in an interview published today that while she is leaving Congress, she is most proud of her work opposing Obamacare, the Dodd-Frank financial industry reform, the 2009 stimulus, auto industry bailouts and TARP. Although all of those measures passed, Bachmann offered her wisdom to conservatives on how she is able to defeat liberal policies time and time again.
Bachmann said she uses evidence-based arguments against liberals who are only able to argue from emotionalism, they dont argue from a logical, linear point of view, and I take them on at their false premises.
Thats the best way to defeat them, by the way. Defeat them with evidence and defeat them with their false premises and I did that, she said, adding that she was able do this despite the constant criticism she received.
The Associated Press, whose chief fact checker said his job required a self-imposed Michele Bachmann quota because she made so many false claims, and Politifact, which found that Bachmann had by far worst record of any 2012 presidential candidate when it comes to making accurate statements, must have missed Bachmanns many evidence-based arguments.

(25,941 posts)but it's like playing chess with a seagull who swoops in, makes a lot of noise, knocks all the pieces off the board, shits all over the place, struts around victoriously, and then leaves. I was looking forward to the 'leaving' part, but it appears we're in for a few more months of insanity.

She must work real hard at being stupid because she is so good at it.

Dougal is, well, not too bright. dougal goes off in a tangent about a spider baby and ted has to remind him to study the "dreams vs reality" diagram. Obviously Bachman needs one if these diagrams but I question her intellectual capacity to understand it! See the video at link...

Little known fact: In conversations with Michele Bachmann, the words "Huh" and "what" are used at three times the normal rate, confused facial expressions are used at twice the normal rate.

(48,955 posts)like when she said she declared there was a large number of anti-american congressmembers (echoing Joe McCarthy both in tone and in lack of ever producing the list, nor any documentation per any single member that "was evidence" that s/he was anti-american. How weird - to aspire to and believe the pinnacle has been reached by becoming a mimick of the (greatly discredited) Joe McCarthy.
