http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/politifact-bachmann-false-politician/|PolitiFact: Bachmann’s claims ‘false’ more often than any other politician>
Only a day before the congresswoman's Friday visit to Iowa, the Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact noted that she had made false statements more often than any public official.
"We have checked her 13 times, and seven of her claims to be false and six have been found to be ridiculously false," PolitiFact editor Bill Adair told Minnesota Public Radio.
He added that no other politician had been fact checked as often as Bachmann without saying something that was found to be true.
The republicans have pinned their political fortune on the lies they tell. Doesn't matter if those lies are about the economy, about healthcare, about foreign affairs the republicans are lying about it. Of all those republicans none of them are as fact challenged as Bachmann. Not only does this endear her to the republican base in Minnesota but it makes her the "goto" republican for political fascism. She has long surpassed Palin's lie about death panels or the GOP's lies about balancing the budget.
Given her propensity for lying there is very little chance she won't be their nomination for president in 2012. She's certain to "save" America from any hope of recovery.

You're talking about Romney, Palin and Huckleberry.
You got to admit, it's hard not to laugh...

(With apologies to John Gillespie Magee)
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of truth, And cast my lies from crimson-lipsticked lips; Onward I've lied, and weaved a rambling myth Of grateful crowds ...and claimed a hundred things You have not swallowed...weaved, demurred and spun Fading into sullen silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting media along, and flung My eager crap through endless streams of wind. Up, up, the false, delirious flaming lies I've topped the biggest ones with easy grace When neither Rove, nor even Cheney could. And while with soiled, uplifted heels I've trod The pure untrespassed sanctity of truth... ...put out my hand, and poked the eye of God.

I personally find her creepy, especially her eyes. She looks demented.
I was actually just exercising my southern upbringing, bless her heart.

They're not going to nominate anyone who would drive away the center as completely as crazy Michelle.
