Bachmann: I Would Close Our (Non-Existent) Embassy In Iran

chickaree wrote: I've got to go with Viking on this one, voting ages, number of states can be mistakes caused by fatigue. Missing a major fact in your supposed area of expertise? Not good.

And yet Rick Perry is running for President, something which he wants us to think would be his expertise. When he can't remember the Departments he wants to cut, what are we to think?

The point here is that Viking has an infatuation with Governors named Rick Perry. If you are one of those Governors, then the rules he has for the other candidates do not apply.

Are you really saying that she could have a brain fart and it's not okay, while Perry has similar a brain fart and can't remember which Department he wants to cut? We're talking about the Departments of the U.S., and he wants to be President in charge of them?

So, according to you, it's okay if Perry can't remember the legal voting age or what day the election is next year, but if President Obama says there are 57 states, you jump all over him?

You should watch out, because your hypocrisy is showing.

I never cared about the 57 states. It was just funny. I just point it out when others attack republicans on minor issues. WHo cares. I am a lot more concerned about his failed policies and how he has desrtoyed this country.

he admitted he screwed up on that. he remembers them now and it won't change his great policies. So who cares. Go by his policies and accomplishments. Bachmann doesn't have great accomplishments to fall back on.

I really don't want to defend Bachmann, but will you give her the same consideration when she admits that she screwed up, or will you continue to attack her while making excuses for your guy?

Sure if she admits it. Of course I will. Although it is scary that is the department she serves on and it is our biggest foreign issue and her plan to close our embassy in Iran doesn't even make sense because we don't have one there. But if she admits her mistake unlike Cain who blamed everything and everyone else for everything, then I will let it slide.

Good. Although it is scary that a man running for President doesn't even know which departments he plans to close.

You do know that he put forth a couple of very comprehensive plans on taxes and energy right before that debate right? And he was working out the details for his government overhaul plan to announce a couple weeks later. He had hundereds of details in his head. And he wanted to cut several other departments so he just couldn't remember which one he wanted to cut and which he wanted to eliminate for a minute. Not a big deal. He knows which ones. And he and Paul are the only ones who hae the guts to go after those departments.

This is another example of how you only see the good in those named Rick Perry and bad in any other candidate. You're making excuses for his forgetfulness, which is ever so sweet.

Maybe she intended to say that if she was President of the UK, she'd close down her embassy

oh wait --- that doesn't work, either........ (the UK doesn't have a president)

Bachmann just lost my respect. She is pulling a Cain. Blaiming us on misunderstanding her. They said
"Her remarks are being taken out of context" And it was hypothetical. Michelle Bachmann told a crowd in Waverly, Iowa, today that she would close the U.S. embassy in Iran. How is that taken out of context?

Perry is the only one so far who takes responsibility for his actions and mistakes.
