Last week Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) did one of two things: She either pulled a strategic negative publicity stunt or one of the biggest political faux pas of the century. Either way, she has just proven to the world that she isn’t in touch with reality as a whole.
Much like her Tea Party partner did during the Sarah Palin’s Alaska episode when Sarah invited Kate Gosselin to a “comfort-filled” camping trip, Michele’s latest news is resonating across the headlines like a reality-TV publicity stunt.
On January 24th, Michelle Bachmann released a proposal to cut more than $400 billion in federal spending. In her proposal she targeted veteran benefits using the following language:
“Reduce Veterans’ Disability Compensation to account for Social Security Disability Insurance payments.”
Bottom line: This is just a fancy way for her to say that our nation’s heroes are not entitled to the Social Security benefits that they paid into and rightfully deserve. She knows she can’t strip a deserving class of citizens of Social Security, so this is a strategic angle to accomplish the same outcome.
There once was a political party called the “Know Nothing Party”, back in the mid 1850s. Their unstated policy was basically being anti-Irish Catholic, because they feared Irish elected candidates would have more loyalty to the Pope, than to the citizens. They got their name from saying “I Know Nothing” whenever asked their position on the issues. Hoping to sway the vote in secret. The Tea Party isn’t as smart as the Know Nothing Party once was. But are just as misguided, at time. Or mislead. And the name fits them much better, I think. Or perhaps the “We Don’t Need To Know Nothin” Party.
She is far more qualified to be President than community organizer Obama, so is Palin. Either one makes an excellent choice for president.
They wouldn’t do Carter II and lose Egypt to the radicals like Carter did Iran.
Now is not the time for progressive incompetence, their fantasy views of reality, but that is precisely what we have.
So it’s a faux pas to try and cut $400 billion in spending? Throw on top of that the money saved by repealing Obamacare. A federal judge threw it out as unconstitutional, which Bachmann could have told people. So it is right now has no legal standing, until the federal government can get a stay order from a higher court while they appeal.
