There has to be more Psychotics in the Republican Party than in the general population. This truly scares me because this is how you get officers like Bush, Cheney, Nixon, Bolton, etc and the like who have no claim on reality.

The difference is, in the old days they did it with finesse. Weasel words and stuff.

Nowadays Repugs come out with whoppers that don't even begin to jive with reality.

Completely detached from reality ... this is the real result of years of delusional behavior and the result we get when they don't surround themselves with anyone who questions them at all ... she NEVER has her thought processes questioned ... she's only surrounded by people who agree with her .. frightening ...

Bachmann's ideology isn't political -- it's religious.

For Bachmann and the Teabaggers, government isn't about conventional secular "policy," it's about theocracy.

So in that sense, Bachmann was being truthful. Scary, but truthful.

This is a year politicians are smashing records for stupid remarks, both in quantity and quality. Even Mrs. Bachmann appears to be setting new personal records for stupid remarks, and that is quite an accomplishment in itself.

OK, I know this is Democratic Underground, but there is really nothing partisan in the derision Mrs. Bachmann is getting from us or her audience. Any politician, especially one who has been in office for as long as Mrs. Bachmann has, would be mocked mercilessly for making such a statement, and rightly so.
