Michele Bachmann says in this interview:

"But what people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward. And especially with this very bad debt ceiling bill, what we have done is given a favor to President Obama and the first thing he'll whack is five hundred billion out of the military defense at a time when we're fighting three wars. People recognize that."

This is the same woman who claimed that"THE 2001CENSUS WILL BE USED TO ROUND UP THE CITIZENRY AND SEND THEM TO PRISON CAMPS!!".

Guess what folks??IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!

This woman is dumber as a box of rocks!!

[kemenyadi]

wot?

[falutak]

like really? she can't be THAT stupid, can she?

[furuzon12]

I mean candidate for the head of the RP party. I had to make that clear from my previous post so you wouldn't think I'm some idiot! ;D

[furuzon12]

@Flabtato Yeah, definitely....no way I'm voting for her. But the fact that she has managed to even become a candidate for the republican party is beyond me.

[Flabtato]

@Cognoscentiable She truly is an idiot. The odds of her being elected as our president is quite slim.

[RimlandThesis]

how the fuck is America in decline when it's strategic deterrents in Europe, Korea, and Irak are still in place?

China has NO strategic deterrents anywhere... just cheap labout to make crap.

India is a fucking cultural and political mess constantly at war with itself. ethnic, religious, and cultural infighting that is nothing like any Western democracy has ever seen.

Russia... it's strategic influence continues to span all of Eurasia as it has for the past 500 years.

fear mongering!

@Cognoscentiable , no she will not. Throughout our history, we americans have elected the right leader at the right time. Even though I am not a democrat and despite how bad economically we are doing right now, I believe we have elected the right person, Obama. Can you imagine having Sarah Palin as VP, or maybe as President if Cain would have passed, believe me we have an angel that looks upon us,,, we will choose the right person in 2012.

@Cognoscentiable Sadly this is not a joke, when the religious right wing took over the Republican party it has been a cultural and economic disaster for this nation. This supposedly college educated woman does not just make word gaffes every time out at bat, its total distortions of reality. Check out Her comment on the Hoot-Smalley tariff billl of the early 30s (Keith Olberman sums it up best) there is a medical disclaimer thou you may have a heart attack from laughter!!!

If Bachmann is concerned about the Soviet Union, then perhaps she should be placed in a time-machine and sent back to the Soviet Union in 1990 (when it still existed). Hopefully she will win her party's nomination, so the current administration can put on a hay cart and ship her to Iowa where she can enjoy her support from the uneducated hayseeds. Happy Birthday Elvis!!!
