Both Sarah Palin and Rep. Michelle Bachmann are not too popular with the Liberal Media, to say the least. In fact recently they haven't been too popular with their own Party activists.
On January 21, Bill O'Reilly, a conservative political commentary, in his program on the Fox News Channel came out with a 'brilliant' explanation to that problem. According to O'Reilly, liberals and others do not like both women because they are both so "good-looking." This assessment gained approval of all the Conservative Media. The problem has been solved...
Really?
Sarah Palin's popularity has recently dropped across the America. The recent CBS/New York Times poll found that as much as 57% of the voters do not approve Sarah Palin's views.
Does it mean that all 57% of the voters are Liberal?
For about 3 years now Sarah Palin proved that she can't answer a simple questions asked by the interviewers, about politics, about economy - without diving in an empty rhetoric without providing any real solutions to the most serious and nagging problems of the Country. After her Presidential Campaign, still being a Governor of Alaska she simply quit her governorship like it was a game of Bingo. So much for the interest in the State of Alaska's welfare. She was proclaimed a "a self-promoting ignoramus, and at worst a shameless media troll who will abuse any platform to deliver dog whistle encouragement to a far-right base, that may include possible insurrectionists" by Stephen Colbert.
Her stunt with putting the "cross hair" over the most democratic congressional districts didn't help her gaining popularity either. I agree - there is no direct relation of her act with the massacre, but it didn't act as a preventive measure either. Not to mention her "wonderfully soothing" TV address after the massacre in Arizona, where she expressed her "profound thoughts" using the term "Blood Libel", and then defending the "lost" position over and over.
At the end, Dick Chaney (the former Vice President) even didn't mention her name when asked about some candidate names for the coming in 2012 Republican Nomination. One must be really "off track" if the well known for his too strong and too vitriol statements Newt Gingrich on January 18 advises her to "slow down" and stated that she had become more 'controversial'.
Representative Michelle Bachmann (R-Min) is a bit different story, or is it?
- In the days preceding the the vote on the Repeal of the Health Reform she demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about our laws and the Constitution saying that “This is not symbolic, this is why we were sent here and we will not stop until we repeal a president and put a president in the position of the White House who will repeal this bill, until we repeal the current Senate, put in a Senate that will listen to the American people and repeal this bill.” One may repeal the bill - not people.
- She also propose to retroactive repeal of 1862 Homestead Act in fight against federal hand-outs - claiming that many European immigrants came to this country just to get the promised 160 acres of the American land...
- She also stipulates that there should be an investigation investigating the Anti-American views presented by... President Obama.
- In the days preceding President's trip to India - she openly and authoritatively claimed that that trip was a proof of the completely irresponsible approach to the fiscal problems of this country since it was suppose to cost the taxpayers a staggering $200 Million a day !!! for all 2000 people taking part of the trip !!! Later on on a question where she took such an outrageous information she bluntly answered that it was posted in a "local newspaper in... India".
- Speaking at the event sponsored by Iowans For Tax Relief, Bachman reinvented the History of the United States stating that the Founding Fathers worked to end the slavery once and for all. She said: “But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States,” , claiming later: “men like John Quincy Adams… would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.”
It is demeaning to the memory of all who really fought to end the slavery during the Civil War. As far as the real history goes, all founding fathers had slaves and the original Constitution of the United States referred to all slaves as "3/5 of a human". And when these basic facts of American History have been taught in American school for decades (or longer) Michelle Bachmann demonstrates complete ignorance of these facts. We were all furious at Ahmadinejad (the President of Iran) when he tried to disregard the Holocaust claiming that it never happened and it's only a figment of our imagination... He is an enemy of the United States... He didn't go to the American schools. What conclusion should we come to in regard to Michelle Bachmann ? Has she ever gone to school?
I rest my case.
These "politicians", for demonstrating such a stupidity and juvenile behavior should be excluded from any political activities in this country. Both of them have no respect toward the Truth, nor toward the Democracy. Both of them (and many others) follow one rule - and just one rule only - "a lie repeated 1000 times becomes the truth" (invented and implemented by Paul Joseph Goebbels - Nazi Minister of Propaganda).
