Yeah, Bachmann's done.  Rush was all over her shit for that one.

Turns out the conversation never happened.

Gop wants to cut funding which makes schools worse which is the real cause of people becoming retarded (and more likely to vote for people who are plainly off their rockers.)

Blogger explains to Bachmann, in small words, that you can not have an abortion if you are not actually pregnant...

Things like this are why I'm not convinced when people call themselves "pro-life". Things like cheap/free birth control, emergency contraceptives, and comprehensive sex education have been proven time and time again to reduce the number of abortions. Yet these people are opposed to every single one of them. They aren't interested in reducing the number of abortions. Their real motives are to control women and punish them for having dirty dirty sex. They are happy with high teen pregnancy rates and super high STD rates in the South. As long as the sluts suffer, who cares what happens to them?

Youre assuming far too much intelligence in these people. Abstinence works 169% of the time because if it didnt, why would Jesus endorse it?

During a visit to a meatpacking plant in Des Moines, Iowa, Bachmann called for an end to food safety regulations that keep food safe for human consumption. Bachmann told reporters that food regulations hurt job growth and that they're "overkill."

"That's part of the problem, the overkill," Bachmann told reporters during an appearance at a family-run meatpacking plant in Des Moines, Iowa. "And when they make it complicated, they make it expensive and so then you can no longer stay in business."

What could possibly go wrong?

And yet the packing plant IS in business.

And this sort of deregulation bullshit worked SO well in our banks, why NOT try it with our food?

I think Upton Sinclair-type expository on this type of thing, unfortunately, just goes WAAAAY over the intended mark.  The Onion, after all, only ends up preaching to the choir.  I'm thinking some SERIOUS badwrong shit has to happen before this pendulum swing into BEYOND ASSHOLE ever goes the other way.

Doubleplus-good irony:  wasn't Michelle Bachmann one of the Republicans screeching about how the Chinese were going to make all American children into retards by putting lead in childrens toys and making substandard food and so on?  There was a big flap about that in 2008, as I recall.

[Luna]

Of COURSE, she did.

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) proposed a bill on Thursday that would force women in the early stages of pregnancy to have a physically invasive and medically unnecessary ultrasound procedure before they can legally consent to having an abortion.

The "Heartbeat Informed Consent Act" requires doctors to make the fetal heartbeat visible and audible to the woman prior to the abortion procedure and to describe the ultrasound image to her in detail, even if she prefers not to hear about it. If the woman is between four and five weeks pregnant, the doctor has to perform a "transvaginal ultrasound" in order to hear the heartbeat, which involves a probe and can be physically uncomfortable for the woman.

The Kentucky senate passed one of these earlier this year (fortunately the House voted it down). We called it the "Fetal Seance Bill."

Bachmann (probably accidentally) advocates for higher taxes for the wealthy!
