Michelle Bachmann goes after straight guy vote

[SuperHornet]

Some people would include the likes of Pelosi, Boxer, Reid, and Frank on that list. Of course, none of those have ever shown an inkling of the itch to run for the White House.

[AZGrizFan]

OK. I get the Sharpton deal. Some might also say the same about BHO. But I must have missed something. What was the deal with Kucinich?

You can disagree with Obama and dislike his politics - but he's not in any way unbalanced mentally, nor for that matter was McCain, nor is Romney or Pawlenty or a huge number of conk pols...

Sharpton, Kucinich, Bachmann, Perry, Palin, Alan Grayson, Maxine Waters and maybe Jan Brewer are the kinds I'm talking about... people who are simply fucked in the head - the kind who you legitimately fear would do something stupid with access to our nuclear weapons.

Oh, please. She may be stupid, but she's nowhere NEAR the crazy level of the other people you list here.

hence the "maybe" - withdrawn.

your failure to see the line between hardline partisans (like the ones you just cited) and pols who are actually unstable mentally is... frustrating

Ugh..look at that face? BLEH

You actually look at their face when getting a bj?

[SuperHornet]

Of course you guys go after the most UNflattering shots and completely ignore the regular shots.

Hypocrites.

Right, because that has never happened to a liberal, male democrat...

dude - I've seen her up close, over 100 times in the last 13 years... I promise you - she's not attractive.

The hair weave (to make her hair appear fuller)
the caked on makeup

she's actually pretty gross up close - there's much worse out there in politics - to be sure, and she's hardly unique for either of those things... just sayin' - she's not nearly as attractive as professional headshots would lead you to believe (I know, shocking, right?)

[89Hen]

I promise you - she's not attractive.

On this we can agree.

[89Hen]

Except both of those pictures were the fault of the subject of the photo.

And deep-throating a corn dog isn't?

[Wedgebuster]

That look would be perfect if you photoshopped a turd in place of the sausage.

Maybe it's just a real shitty sausage?

[Sarah Palin]

She's no me, that's for sure

[SuperHornet]

The problem isn't so much that such unflattering pix exist. EVERYONE has a few of those lurking around. Heck, all one has to do is get a vid cap at just the WRONG point.

The problem is that YOU guys seize on them as if they're the ONLY pix available for said person and imply (if not boldly assert) that the person really looks like that.

again...

I've seen her - up close and personal - for years.

this photo is MUCH more accurate than the headshots she has circulating - I assure you.

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 dingbat politicians, including the silver spoon Governor. Bachmann's opponent was just as dingy, that's why Bachmann won.

I like to gaze into a womans eye when she's proividing me with oral stimulation. Michelle has Satan Eyes.

I'm willing to place a wager that most public figures look different when they aren't being prepared for a magazine cover, talk show or speech. Just call it a hunch. Hell, some politicians put on the make up when they go to public events (as was the case on the 3 campaigns I worked on)

in 2010? I'd agree... I have no love for Terrible Tarryl Clark.

As for the Gov? I know him a little bit too - I'll say this - he's done a much better job than I figured he would.

We do like an odd collection here... Ventura, Franken, Rod Grams, Boschwitz...

[Sarah Palin]

This is how you eat in public...noob

I would say Betty and Amy are okay, but I really haven't seen anything out of Dayton, especially his hedging on the Vikings stadium once the preferred location was announced. He came accross as a strong supporter, and once the suburban site was announce, he started waffling when Corporate Minneapolis started tuggingg on his coat-tails.

His reluctance on this Vikings proposal is well founded - I'm a big supporter of a new stadium - but the Ramsey plan sucks out loud - and Dayton knows it.

with 50% of the tax base of the county in St. Paul - and with St. Paul poised to get none of the benefit - the plan is DOA in St. Paul - and any pol backing it here will be bounced from office (commissioner ortega tops the list) - plus, with all the site improvements, the state will be on the hook for an assload of infrastructure not included in the price tag.

it's not corporate Minneapolis that he's listening to - it's all of Ramsey County south of Hwy 36...

...and the people north of Hwy 36 should pay for anything in St Paul or Minneapolis without any assumed benefit. How is the baseball stadium location benefiting St Paul south of Hwy 36.

The stadium location will benefit St Paul and Minneapolis, not as much if it was in that particular downtown, but most of the best hotels are in Ramsey and Hennipen County. The best tailgating would be in a suburban location, otherwise the Vikings will move to LA, IMO. I'll change my statement to corporate Minnesota to include St Paul.
