Could this be the 2012 GOP nominee?

1. Could Bachmann be the Republican nominee?

I doubt God loves me that much.

[scheming daemons]

6. There is no god... but if there was, he'd love you very much.

I'm an atheist... but if Bachmann is the GOP nominee, I will scream as loud as I can "There is a God!"

[Tiggeroshii]

2. If she gets the nomination, Obama's reelection chances are sealed, and the dems

might take back the house. Still several months away but here's hoping!

3. Yikes! Scary party clown from a scary party. n/t

4. one can no longer distinguish the teabaggers from republicans, they are one in the same

5. I didn't know that mentally challenged turnips participated in polls.

7. RNC are now officially shitting their pants...n/t

8. I wonder what Sarah will do now that Bachmann has stolen her thunder?

[democrat_patriot]

10. Stay home and count her money.

Maybe she'll be VP pick again? But that cuts into her grifting too much.

[WI_DEM]

12. That's not enough for an egomaniac like Sarah--though Newsweek tried to help her

by putting her on the cover this week.

16. Ever see the David Lynch movie Wild At Heart?

Ever hear of Wanda Hollaway?

[Andy823]

9. Well

Just goes to show how stupid the republicans are in Iowa! A whole lot of tea party brain dead zombies voting for an idiot to run this country simply because she is a religious zealot who has made them believe God wants her to be president!

[Change Happens]

11. How will they take her down now? a fake illness? a disaster in her husband's business?

Strong rumors about an affair? ...etc.

Can't wait to watch the horror show!!!

14. A person who doesn't read the agreements they sign?

Sounds like an awesome qualification for POTUS, NOT!!

[protect our future]

15. Please please please let her be the nominee. Please, please

please let the media leave her alone and keep quiet about her husband so that she'll be the nominee. Please please please, so that when she does become the nominee, I can sit back and laugh and enjoy the show as more and more info about that weirdo flake comes to light and Obama gets another four years to keep our nation from falling off that cliff that the Republicans insist we must teeter on.

[Itchinjim]

17. I live in Iowa and yesterday I was polled by phone about my choice for the GOP nomination.

My choice? Bachmann of course! These polls may not mean exactly what the GOP think they mean.

[DonCoquixote]

18. Sorry to sound mean

bit please please do not assume that Bachmann cannot beat Obama. The billionaires would use citizens united to flood the waves so bad that millions of brains turn to mush!
