Michelle Bachmann's 'Tea Party' response
- Thread starter olias
- Start date
Bachmann : âFor two years, President Obama made promises just like the ones we heard him make this evening,â she said. âYet still we have high unemployment, devalued housing prices and the cost of gasoline is skyrocketing.â
Ok, don't comments like this undermine her credibility? we still have devalued housing prices? what would Bachmann do to fix this then?
If you don't have a freakin' solution, then stfu.
Actually, this is what you always get with politics. Both sides are guilty.
That said, I think 'tea-partiers' are the worst. Obama in comparison is not that bad.

I think her point was that Obama ran up a couple of trillion bucks in debt supposedly to fix those problems, rather than let them work themselves out.
I actually think this could be a healthy political dispute, and I don't get all the blather about being non-partisan and everyone getting along. I want to see a knockdown, dragout, no holds barred fight over the size and scope of government and how we pay for it.
Obama has staked out a position, which is basically steady as we go. No major cuts, massive deficits, calls for even more spending ("investment" in his alternative universe terminology). Bachmann has taken the other side. I was left puzzled at the position Ryan and the republican insiders are taking. They claim to want to cut, just not enough to create any real controversy.
And this is why the idiot Palin makes Obama look like a total genius.
She's the Paris Hilton of politics, and she makes everyone else look good, especially the current President.
It's pretty simple.
But Palin is simply too star-struck, too much of a media "whore" and attention seeker to keep her mouth shut.
You stole that quote from MSNBC, and Ezra Klein, dont say "like i said" as if it is your own, atleast if you are going to steal some other liberals words have the decency to give him credit for it. The only thing that is bizzare here is that you felt the need to plagiarise a joke which wasnt funny to begin with.

Where was Ryan's roadmap?
By Ezra Klein
Paul Ryan was tapped to give the GOP's response to the State of the Union last night because his fiscal âRoadmapâ -- which gets specific on the way he would save money by reducing the benefits paid out by Medicare and Social Security -- made him a star within the party. But as Ross Douthat notes, Ryan managed to get through the speech without mentioning, or even alluding to, his Roadmap. Nor did the words "Medicare" or "Social Security" pass his lips. It was like watching Colonel Sanders give a speech that never mentioned chicken.
