Talking Points Memo
Josh Marshall

"On Fox News this morning, Michele Bachmann proposed shifting the tax code back to the Reagan tax code of 1981 -- apparently without realizing that would amount to a dramatic hike in tax rates."

_________________________________________________________________________________
She asked for tax increases back to 1981..The Regean code..

.
something she is totally against..hit the link to see the short story..
She is desperate...not even knowing what she is saying...
I think there will be a video up when Josh gets it.

1. She's laughably stupid.

But her followers are frighteningly stupid.

[indepat]

8. O'Bachmann's followers are surely more stupid that she

:patriot:

[tomg]

16. I don't know. I would call it too

Close to call right now.

[grantcart]

2. Thus ends the funny escapades known as the Bachman campaign

will she even stay around for Iowa.



So much for the value of straw polls.

[Tx4obama]

14. I heard on the news today that she said she is 'rebooting her campaign'

who knows, maybe that means she's going shoppin' for some boots :)

[grantcart]

18. Can $ 1.75 a gallon of gas be far behind?

[sinkingfeeling]

3. The brightest idea she's ever had!!

[lapislzi]

4. Let her talk.

Let the auto-petard-hoisting begin.

:popcorn:

[Ganja Ninja]

5. It's too bad she can't pray away the stupid. n/t

[Rambis]

6. That is quality- The stupid it burns!

:toast:

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Even A Believer Would Know. . .

. . .that there isn't enough praying in all eternity to do that.

[FiveGoodMen]

11. From what I can tell, prayer is never used for that purpose.

[qb]

9. Just wait. Her minions will 'correct' wikipedia shortly.

[L0oniX]

10. So ...there really are that many stupid fuckers that voted her into office?

I guess there has been some mighty large cut backs on education in her state ...not to mention what happened to common sense.

[qb]

12. Yes. Her district is amazing (it is most famous for its gay teen suicide epidemic)

13. I wish the House would get on that right away instead of

wasting time talking about women's uteruses and defunding indirect financial support for abortions.

[Douglas Carpenter]

15. at a time like this when Hezbollah are sending missiles to Cuba to attack America?

[pampango]

17. We could trap a lot of republicans by proposing to restore taxes to "Reagan" levels.

How could they not agree with that without "dissing" their idol (even if some of them actually understood - which Bachmann obviously doesn't - that tax rates were much higher under Reagan than they are now).

[Matariki]

19. I was thinking that. Instead of mocking her, we should encourage her

by acting outraged :evilgrin:
