Bachmann flubs Revolutionary War geography in NH​

Associated Press/AP Online

By HOLLY RAMER NASHUA, N.H. - U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota stood before New Hampshire Republicans with a tea bag clutched in her hand Saturday, but her grasp on Revolutionary War geography wasn't quite as tight.

Before headlining a GOP fundraiser, the possible presidential hopeful told a group of students and conservative activists in Manchester, "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord."

But those first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire.

"So I misplaced the battles Concord and Lexington by saying they were in New Hampshire," Bachmann posted on her Facebook page later. "It was my mistake, Massachusetts is where they happened. New Hampshire is where they are still proud of it!"

Though Bachmann probably wasn't the first to confuse Concord, N.H., with Concord, Mass., her mistake was striking given her roots in the tea party movement, which takes its name from the dumping of tea into Boston Harbor by angry American colonists in December 1773, 16 months before the Battle of Lexington Green.

She could use an elementary history lesson, first the Adams comment about slavery and now this! If this is the best woman the GOP has to put forward, they are in trouble! Why are all the moderates hiding? I would love to see a good moderate Rep. candidate come forward to give Obama a run for his money. I would love for a moderate woman Rep. to come forward! Why aren't the GOP woman being more assertive?

I'd be fine with a social moderate (or even a social liberal), but a fiscal moderate will inevitably lead to bigger government and more debt, which is the last thing we need.

A fiscal moderate will not allow the economy to crash, the crazies are going to do more harm than good. All the cuts mean jobs, why can't the idiots put two and two together. It is something that needs to be done, but slow and steady wins the race.

"Perhaps reading my sig. would help put Bachmann's flub in perspective....

then again, lefty pinheads are just as likely to ignore mistakes made by own....

I saw her on "Meet the Press" the sunday before last. She came off as a fanatic. She did not answer a single question. She ignored every question asked her and ranted about this mythical 108 billion funding for health care reform. She completely exasperated the moderator. He kept saying to her over and over "but I didn't ask you about that, could you please answer my question?". She came off as having a screw loose.

There are no moderates left in the Republican party. We were all run off by nut jobs like Dixie, Bachman, Dweebway, Palin, Southernman, etc, etc. Why do you think I became a democrat in 04?

That is false.

We need a fiscal conservative. Something we have not seen since Ike. Someone who can not only lead in the fiscal arena, but can also get a bunch of brain dead idiots in Congress to wake the hell up and realize this is not sustainable.

The notion that cutting spending somehow must mean 'lost jobs' is nothing more than bullshit propagated by the parties in order to maintain power.

Guess what Rana... the money they are not spending.... guess who it goes to?

Tell you what... take out your credit card(s) and max it out. Then tell the bank that the best way forward for you personally is to keep adding on to that credit card debt. See how they react.

There is NO reason we cannot go back to 2006 spending levels. None.

There is NO reason we need trillion dollar deficits. NONE.

Because you are a fucking retard from Ohio.

An intelligent person would have dumped the Reps and become an Independent.

An intelligent person would have realized that there are just as many morons leading the Dems as there are the Reps.

Pelosi & Reid successfully led us into a deeper shithole than the one they found us in. Tell us how about how great they were since they took over in 2007.

Pretending that cutting spending will have no adverse consequences on the economy and employment is just plain bullshit.

OUTSPENDING revenue by over $1.5 TRILLION.... THAT has an adverse effect on the economy as it continues painting us deeper and deeper into a corner.

The complete stupidity of it and the fact that so many morons like you continue to think this is the correct decision is what is truly frightening.

This constant 'push the problems into the future by spend spend spend' does NOTHING to solve the fucking problems. It simply creates larger problems. To which the response from morons like you will be 'we need to spend more'.

Gawd are you niave. Grow up son. I did. I tried the independent shit when you were shitting yellow in your diapers and guess where it got me? It got me a bunch of right wing fanatics taking over my party whose idea of good government was creating a constitutional crises over a fucking blow job.

The fact of life politically in our nation is that we have two major parties who are broad coalitions. If you want to be affective politically then you need to belong to one of these coalitions whether you like it or not cause if you think your going to get anything done sitting on the side lines.....guess again.

You're wasting your breath. He's a Supply Sider, a system as completely discredited as the socialist dialectic. He'll spin you every which way to Sunday why his discredited system works but a proven system like Keynesian does not.

Dumbass.... you are not that much older than me. What right wing fanatics took over your party?

Right now all I see are a bunch of left wing crackpots running your current party.

The second paragraph is ironically almost word for word what the moron in charge of the Rep party in CO said. To which I replied...

Who is it that decides the close elections?

Oh yeah... that would be the Independents. Those people who force the party to EARN their votes rather than just follow it along like a lemming.

It is the above that is quite simply the standard moronic line of thinking that the two parties love to display. The all or nothing.

Go back and look twit.... I supported the stimulus spending as a necessary evil. It is a stop gap measure that SHOULD be used in times of crisis to avoid a complete melt down.

That said, it should NOT be something we use year in year out. The debt level is not sustainable.

Do tell us what economic background you have had.

My degrees were in economics and finance. Yours?

 

[Bonestorm]

SF: I have no interest in arguing the merits with you. I understand your position, stupid as it is. It just strikes me as more than a little dishonest to claim that significantly cutting federal government spending will not have an adverse impact on the economy and jobs. It's bullshit.
