Help, help, she’s being repressed!
In April 2005, Pamela Arnold wanted to talk to her state senator, Michele Bachmann, who was then running for Congress. A 46-year-old who worked at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Arnold lived with her partner, the famed Arctic explorer Ann Bancroft, on a farm in Scandia, Minnesota. Bachmann was then leading the fight against gay marriage in the state. She’d recently been in the news for hiding in the bushes to observe a gay rights rally at the Capitol. So when members of the Scandia gay community decided to attend one of Bachmann’s constituent forums, Arnold, wanting to make herself visible to her representative, joined them.
A few dozen people showed up at the town hall for the April 9 event, and Bachmann greeted them warmly. But when, during the question and answer session, the topic turned to gay marriage, Bachmann ended the meeting 20 minutes early and rushed to the bathroom. Hoping to speak to her, Arnold and another middle-aged woman, a former nun, followed her. As Bachmann washed her hands and Arnold looked on, the ex-nun tried to talk to her about theology. Suddenly, after less than a minute, Bachmann let out a shriek. “Help!” she screamed. “Help! I’m being held against my will!”
Arnold, who is just over 5 feet tall, was stunned, and hurried to open the door. Bachmann bolted out and fled, crying, to an SUV outside. Then she called the police, saying, according to the police report, that she was “absolutely terrified and has never been that terrorized before as she had no idea what those two women were going to do to her.” The Washington County attorney, however, declined to press charges, writing in a memo, “It seems clear from the statements given by both women that they simply wanted to discuss certain issues further with Ms. Bachmann.”
Bachmann was declared the winner of this week’s GOP presidential debate by not calling for mass arrests of liberals and speaking in coherent sentences. Yes, I’m sure Bachmann will hold up quite well to the rigors of the presidential campaign trail.

she’ll do just fine on the campaign trail… at least that is how our gutless media will portray it.
Fox will outright lie to make her look like a superhero and the rest will be too terrified of being considered “liberal” to tell the truth. Any actual news that leaks out will either be under reported, dismissed as fake, or drowed in a sea of BS. Remember folks, she had been saying the same radical right wing crap for years now and only gets more popular
Run Baby Run and I hope she is in the General it will be like a gift from heaven that is if i believed in heven.
I don’t know much about Michell Bachman, I think she had a pretty good debate the other night. I am a staunch Mitt Romney Supporter, That does not mean I liked the Bush’s, Although I did reluctantly vote for them. This question is for all three of you,(Unstabel Isotope,socialistic ben, and Truth Teller)are you guys really, really hoping that Barack Obama gets relected. Try to answer honestly, especially you “Truth Teller”
Rusty tell me you’re joking. Please do all of America a favor and Google and you tube Mrs. Bachmann and spend a day reading about her and watching her on video. To say she had a good debate is akin to saying bin-laden had run into a patch of bad luck. She as well as all the other participants had nothing to say that would help the country in any way. To go to a liberal web site and suggest that a republican would make a better candidate will put you in the same class with Mrs. Bachmann. Sorry but…
Rusty,
Yes. Although, at this point it is more to prevent any republican from gaining that much power and less about his awesome presidentyness. Yes i hope h is re-elected. I hope a dem wins in 2016. I hope no republican ever gets to be president ever again. They make awful presidents.
My comment to socialist ben and political wizzard is This. I know you are not going to like this, But I am one of the more objective people that you will meet. I have been very dissatisfied over the last 22 years with all the Presidents, both Rep and Dem. I am for a strong free enterprise system, without it, there is no need for, and there will be no government. Yes I know you guys probably dislike Reagan, even though he had a lot to do with helping to end the cold war. (I would love to hear your argument on how that is not important, or how he did not have any involvement in that one). But we have not had any good presidents since he left office. The country has really gotten off track. So everyone is blaming everyone, dems blame rep, rep blame dems, cons blame liberal, and vice versa. But I will say this, Romney is different, you guys have to get off this thing of business doing good is bad for everyone else. When the economy does good, and business prosper, the chance of the employee’s doing good is much much better, than when the economy is doing bad, and business are doing bad. This concept is just simply not that hard to grasp. Anyway, Romney is different than Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama’s. He is an innovator, a creator, a smart businessman. If in your mind that is a bad thing, than so be it. but that is what he is, And you might as well plan ahead, because he is going to be the next President
The number of incorrect statements in that is so high I don’t have time to correct them all. The most important is that Mitt Romney was never a small businessman. He was a takeover artist — a guy who buys struggling companies, lays off hundreds of workers and sells at a profit.
As for your conclusion, if you can’t get the past right, why should I believe you have the ability to predict the future?
I just have to respond to…
“he [Reagan] had a lot to do with helping to end the cold war. (I would love to hear your argument on how that is not important, or how he did not have any involvement in that one).”
The following analogy says it best…
A football team is up 42-3 with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. The coach sends in his 3rd string quarterback who finishes the game. The coach, then, credits him with the win.
Just because Reagan was “on the clock” when the Soviet Union collapsed economically and diplomatically doesn’t mean he should be credited for “winning” any kind of “war”
Everyone please help me here, please be honest and tell Duh, that he or she is off the mark, Reagan took office in 1980, Wall came tumbling down in 1989. I have been to check point charlie in Berlin, If you look at the pictures of it in 1980, vs now, the cold war was definately not over in 1980, The Russians shot down a civilian 747 during the 1980’s. If any of you guys want anyone to take you seriously again, please tell Duh, that he or she is off.
Thank you in advance for your honesty, Duh is just misinformed
