Bachmann: We should ‘make a covenant, to slit our wrists be blood brothers on this thing.

[MagickMuffin]

“This cannot pass…What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass…Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.”

I say go for it!

[Arkana]

1. Perhaps, Michele, you should buy some sort of flavored fruit drink!

Yeah, that's the ticket! And put cyanide in it and give some to everyone and they all drink it at the same time! That'll work even BETTER!

[csziggy]

2. Lock her up and put her on suicide watch - she is obviously a danger to herself

:crazy:

[krispos42]

3. And who's going to be paying for the stitches and antibiotics?

Oh, yeah, the TAXPAYERS!!!!



I bet if Miss Bachmann didn't have health insurance she'd be a little more careful.


:banghead:

[tridim]

4. Sounds like she should be fighting for mental health coverage in HCR.

She obviously has some serious issues.

[Kerrytravelers]

5. The pearl-clutching dramatics would be laughable- if people weren't dying because of their greed.

She has no shame, humility or humanity.

[gratuitous]

6. Go right ahead, Mrs. Bachmann

And when you slit your wrist, remember to go down the block and not across the street.

What in the hell is she talking about? Blood "brothers"? "Man" up? Is there something she's trying to tell us?

[Xipe Totec]

7. Remember to slit along the vein, not across n/t

[CJCRANE]

8. That sounds very unhygienic

and a quick way to get a nasty infection.

[Raschel]

9. Didn't she receive money from the government for her foster children?

I suppose she considered that okay because she was helping someone else.

What is the difference between that and healthcare for those who need it? Money collected by the government to help others in both cases.

[livetohike]

10. She is clearly insane. Are the people in her district so numb

that they don't see what a lunatic she is?

[bushmeister0]

11. Republican suicide panels. I like it.

Common' teabaggers, man up, do it for America.

[Overseas]

20. Yeah !! Love it !! //eom

[Javaman]

12. Just slit your wrists and forget about the "blood brothers" part. nt

[JimWis]

13. Well she did it again. She keeps topping her stupidity with

something even more ignorant. She must be slowly losing her mind.

[Bluerthanblue]

14. geez- she's stupid-

you don't slit your wrists to be "blood brothers"

you cut your finger, or at MOST your palm-

And you usually don't do that after the age of 12 or so, -

What a silly girl she is.

"man up" my ass Miss Bachmann.

Grow up, you fool.

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

15. You first.

[bullwinkle428]

16. Make it a pay-per-view, and we can EASILY finance universal health care!

[11 Bravo]

17. C'mon, Michelle, if you're really serious, you'll slit your THROAT.

[spanone]

18. keep talking michelle, you're slitting your political throat

[DCKit]

19. I know someone who sells medical supplies. How many scalpels should I bring to the party? n/t

[JVS]

21. Yes Bachmann! Start mixing the purple kool-aide and tell your friends to drink it!

[cap]

22. before you do this slitting of the wrists kinda of thing, could you give up your insurance

I don't want your tax payer paid insurance rates to go up. Please think of us taxpayers and how you are always looking out for our wallet.

Get off the govt dole before you do the wrist slitting kind of thing.
.

[MajorChode]

23. I'd even pay to see it.

[barbtries]

24. she must be

certifiably insane. i can't believe that there are adult humans who don't get that.

[kayakjohnny]

25. Bachmann Tourniquet Overdrive

[satya]

28. LOL! (I'm old enough to remember BTO). nt

[bvar22]

33. First laugh of a long day.

Bachmann Tourniquet Overdrive

:rofl:
Thanks!

[Matariki]

26. Man, is she weird. How did she ever get elected?

Health care reform - health care accessible to everyone - is "reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom."??? That's just fucking weird.

She prides herself on her Christianity. What an ass backward world she lives in where a devout Christian such as herself would be against aid for the sick and the poor.

[treestar]

27. A new kind of crazy every day from this one

Making Palin look sane is not easy.

[FiveGoodMen]

29. I am officially ashamed to be a Minnesotan

Any state with even one district that would send ... .... her ... to DC does not deserve to live.

[Lugnut]

30. Have at it, Michelle.

:crazy:

[RagAss]

31. During the Final Stage....The hate always turns inward.

[Matariki]

32. The article suggests she might be 'branching out' in preparation for a future national run.

that would be entertaining. :rofl:

[bvar22]

34. Make a covenant and slit your wrists ?

Now THERE is and IDEA!
:think:

[Jester Messiah]

35. I'll chip in to buy her some new, clean, SHARP razors.

:evilgrin:

[burning rain]

36. Your palm, not your wrist, Michele.

:dunce:

[undeterred]

37. Let all those who oppose health care reform slit their vocal cords.

[Libertas1776]

38. Go ahead

slit your wrists and see how much time you have to make your little covenant before dropping dead from blood loss. This woman is dangerous. She sounds like she belongs in a cult. Oh wait, she does...the Republicans.

[Deja Q]

39. If they slit their wrists, wouldn't they all die and not be covered because they lack insurance?

Do to the pre-existing condition of being braindead party animals?

[subcomhd]

40. all sorts of weird imagry in that

wrists being slashed, guts being ripped out. does she talk like that all the time?

[PaDem]

41. I agree with her........

this is all about freedom. I want the freedom to, at the very least, choose between subsidizing some clown CEO's $1,500 per hour salary via my participation in his/her private insurance plan or participating in a gov't plan.

This woman and her friends want to slit their wrists so I (and many of you) don't have a choice.
