But the thing is that Bachmann barely even stands out from the crowd amongst Republican hopefuls. Amazing to think that even though there are only two parties in the United States, the best one of those two parties can muster up is this current crop (and after Obama, the best the other party can do is Joe Biden). After a vice-presidential candidate who merely was married to a seperatist, we now have a declared presidential candidate, Rick Perry, who was also apparently one too. Nycole Turmel must be shaking her head at the scant notice paid Rick Perry's previous dalliances with Texan seperation while guitarist for Aerosmith, but the thing is that seperatist dalliances on the right of the spectrum are okay, because they never really mean it. It's the conservative version of post-modernist irony.
It seems funny to think that Americans could even have seperatist movements, given how united they can all stand behind the act of chanting their three-lettered name at sporting events. Yet of course if any two states were likely to have independence movements (excluding states marooned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, because they all vote Democrat anyway), it makes sense they'd be Texas and Alaska. After all (a) each of them happens to be huge anyway, and I refer not to girth, (b) they both used to belong to other countries anyway, so they know what it's like, and (c) they're not stuck in the middle. Imagine the poor dolt aiming for Kentucky independence who looks at a map and realises he'll be stuck surrounded on all four sides by his sworn enemy.
Ah, but who am I kidding? The sworn enemy isn't Kentucky's neighbours, is it? The sworn enemy is a tiny isolated city stuck between Maryland and Virginia. Or rather, it's that man in the big house downtown. The biggest fear I have regarding 2012 is that a certain amount of Americans will be so driven to defeat Obama at any cost that they'll vote for any old nutbar with a corn dog in her mouth.
Then it won't be so easy to laugh.
Maybe I`m wrong here, though. I mean, who knows what will happen? Election day 2012 is still a long way away (fully a year - a lifetime politically), and after all a 'straw poll' just doesn't sound like it's built to last, does it? If you're really looking for long-term repercussions, you might look into a wood poll next time out. Hell, even an adobe poll would have more staying power. All straw is good for is making fake humans to hang in fields to scare away crows.
Or do I misunderstand? Maybe it's straw like the thing you drink out of - like the GOP has cut different lengths of straw and held them in its hand, and America has just drawn the short one.
You know, the one labelled 'Bachmann'.
You should see how my buddy Wesley Virgin's report launches in this SHOCKING and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
These are the same methods lots of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know how you use less than 10% of your brain.
That's really because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that conversation has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about seven years ago, while driving a non-registered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 on his debit card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"
You took part in those types of conversations, right?
Your success story is waiting to be written. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
