Way to look "serious".
Remember that time George W. Bush hired some regulator to watch porn all day? We will get back to that in a minute, but first, let's see what is on the DEATH TO AMERICAN JOBS news.
Bachmann: ‘I Hope’ Higher Unemployment Will Help My Campaign
“Does it strike you that as the unemployment rate goes up, your chances of winning office also go up?” host Carl Quintanilla asked. “Well, that could be. Again, I hope so,” Bachmann replied. Watch it:
You're not supposed to admit to having an incentive to undermine America's recovery so you can win the Presidency. Republicans have a debt ceiling bomb strapped to their chests already, they aren't supposed to admit that if it goes off it will help them politically so they can blame the mess on Obama. If another country did something to harm America for their own advantage we would declare war on them. You're not supposed to admit that you want Americans to suffer for your own political gain.
This is "I hope he fails" writ large. You might as well admit that the Republican party has been fucking things up on purpose from day 1 of Obama's Presidency, causing irreparable damage to the lives of working class Americans for your own political gain. Michele Bachmann just said "I hope America FAILS for two more years so I can become President".
This is the WORST reason EVER to base the hopes of your Presidency on. Michele Bachmann and her corporate propaganda eating, spewing ilk are fucking sociopaths and I will keep saying things like this about Conservatives until they stop saying and doing batshit insane things like this.
BREAKING: Bachmann pledges to ban Pornography
Keeping "invisible hand" jokes to myself
There is more crazy below the fold
So we're not just banning pornography, we're prosecuting it too, because that is what is important to Republicans.
Last night Michele Bachmann signed the Pledge to the FAMiLY LEADER, an Iowa Conservative group of nosy ass church ladies and people who don't climax. How Republicans can fulfill pledges to the Constitution AND Grover Norquist AND the FAMiLY LEADER is beyond me, but I am sure if you brainwashed me with 30 years worth of Roger Ailes lying I would get it AND NOTHING ELSE.

THE FAMiLY LEADER’s head, Bob Vander Plaats, said the pledge, despite its expansive language, was only intended to cover “opposition to women being forced into pornography or prosititution.”
But that’s not, however, what he said at the press conference on Thursday when he unveiled the pledge.
Certainly the U.S. Supreme Court has delineated what is prosecutable and even with the Ashcroft Department of Justice, and certainly then more so with Holder Department of Justice we have not had illegal pornography prosecuted. So we expect the executive to appoint an Attorney General who will vigorously prosecute all illegal pornography.
You can listen to the audio, starting at 17:29, here. There are two main points: 1. We need to “vigorously prosecute all illegal pornography,” and 2. The scope of the prosecutions under Ashcroft were not aggressive or expansive enough.
This seems fairly reasonable, until one considers the approach to prosecuting pornography under Ashcroft. The Baltimore Sun detailed these efforts in an April 6, 2004 article entitled:“Administration wages war on pornography: For the first time in 10 years, the U.S. government is spending millions to file charges across the country.”

Millions of dollars spent by the Bush Administration to watch porn so they can prosecute "illegal" porn. Why do I get the feeling that by "illegal", Bachmann, Bush and friends mean "gay", or is illegal just a term to describe anything puritanical Fox viewers don't like, because in my ears it sounds like they are screaming "WITCH!"
But, you must remember, Republicans are not witches. Only Godless Reaganless people are witches.
This is insane.
Republicans are a cult for crazy people who like the same TV shows, and they will beat the shit out of America because they love you and they are trying to save you in the name of some cruel, abominable lie that Reagan told them meant Jesus.
They will spend money watching porn and then they will refuse to pay the bill. They will start wars and refuse to pay the bill. They will help corporations rob you and then blame you for not being able to pay, and they will invade your sex life and tell you how to live because they hate a large, intrusive government.
And if you don't like that, Conservatives will tell you to go fuck yourself, until one of them proposes banning that too.
But beyond the absurdity of the shared delusion known as the Republican party, there is a blunt cruelty that goes beyond politics and becomes what I can only describe as treasonous.
While it’s of course acceptable for Bachmann to campaign on wanting to turn the economy around, it’s another matter entirely when she actively pursues policies that make the economy worse — while hoping it will help her campaign.
If you "Hope" that America stays fucked up so your political organization can gain from it, you shouldn't be running for President, you should be running for the job of leader of al-Qaeda. If you "Hope" that your fellow American citizens will suffer greatly so that you can gain from it, you're a fucking traitor, and if you vote for the fucking traitor who is promising you pain and nothing more, you're a fucking idiot, and you can go fuck yourself, until Michele Bachmann pledges to ban that too.
