Newt Gingrich is the father of Obamacare?????

Does she even think before she speaks???

Wait - I know the answer to that.

I'll take "People who just don't give a shit what they say" for $500, Alex...

1. Plastic, I'm pretty sure.
Or possibly ground up hallucinogenic toads.

2. In her case it has a lot more to do with what she's NOT smoking
An ounce of the right stuff could do her a world of good.

7. It's rare to see someone who can
tell the most ridiculous lies so effortlessly. I've known some pathological liars in my time, but none of them could make up such distortions on the spot like she does. The biggest lie she tells is the one where she convinces herself that her husband is straight. That delusion alone should be enough to put her away until she gets some help.

10. Or it's possible she's an undiagnosed schizophrenic.
She might actually believe those things are true.

14. I think you're on to something.
When Ann Coulter comes up with one of her whoppers, you can see her mentally sharpening her claws before she opens her mouth. It doesn't appear to me that Bachmann makes any such calculations before she starts talking. She is stating something that to her is obvious, much like one of us would comment on the weather. If she's acting, she's in the wrong business, because she could have had a curio cabinet full of Oscar's by now. I think she suffers from at least one serious disorder.

15. Yeah, Coulter is a shock jock. She knows she's lying for attention.
It's just her schtick. Bachmann on the other hand... she really comes off as living in her own reality where things just don't work the same.

11. Bachmann
Bachmann is not wrapped too tight,her elevator does not go all the way to the top.
just looking at her, one can see that she is not really Focused, similar to Sarah Palin and Herman Cain,or Rick Perry.Or Santora.
Sadly the GOP has too many people that are religiously brainwashed and overdosed on the God and religion mythology,that they can not see hear and think straight,or get a real grip on reality.
Their reality is all faith based,and they think that gives them a licensee to say and do whatever they want,even if it is nothing but fairy tales.
Anyway,I like it when they tear each other down

13. Hold on a moment ...
From Huff Post, a few months ago:

In his post-congressional life, Gingrich has been a vocal champion for mandated insurance coverage -- the very provision of President Obama's health care legislation that the Republican Party now decries as fundamentally unconstitutional.

This mandate was hardly some little-discussed aspect of Gingrich's plan for health care reform. In the mid-2000s, he partnered with then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to promote a centrist solution to fixing the nation's health care system. A July 22, 2005, Hotline article on one of the duo's events described the former speaker as endorsing not just state-based mandates (the linchpin of Romney's Massachusetts law) but "some federal mandates" as well. A New York Sun writeup of what appears to be the same event noted that "both politicians appeared to endorse proposals to require all individuals to have some form of health coverage."
...
In a June 2007 op-ed in the Des Moines Register, Gingrich wrote, "Personal responsibility extends to the purchase of health insurance. Citizens should not be able to cheat their neighbors by not buying insurance, particularly when they can afford it, and expect others to pay for their care when they need it." An "individual mandate," he added, should be applied "when the larger health-care system has been fundamentally changed."
...
In 2005's "Winning the Future," he expanded on the idea in more detail: "You have the right to be part of the lowest-cost insurance pool and you have a responsibility to buy insurance. ... We need some significant changes to ensure that every American is insured, but we should make it clear that a 21st Century Intelligent System requires everyone to participate in the insurance system."

16. There's a difference between that, and "Gingrich invented Obamacare"
Besides, where does it say preexisting conditions are forbidden to deny

Granted, there is only a $100 fine...

17. "It's mostly Maui Wowie mixed with a little Labrador"
"Labrador? I never heard of that before."

"It's dog shit."

"DOG shit?"

"Yeah, my dog ate my stash. Really blew the dog's mind. I had to follow the little fucker around with a plastic baggie for three days before I got it all back."

18. Beyond the absolute idiocy of that group,
I find her particularly disturbing because she seems hell bent on war with Iran. Every time she opens her mouth, she is pounding the drum for war.
