Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann is taking steps to form an exploratory committee to run for president in 2012, CNN reports.

Bachmann, a third-term Republican congresswoman from Minnesota, could file the papers for the exploratory committee by June and then formally announce her presidential campaign, the report said.

It just keeps getting better. The debates are going to be who's the biggest teabagger. Batshitcrazy Bachmann will be the entertainment...so far.

Yes, and the more nuts who jump on the republican bandwagon the better! Nanner

Trying to cater to the crazy tea party base just isn't going to cut it. If the only serious runners are Romney and Barbour, it's going to be interesting to see how they handle the nuts!

I don't think Romney stands a chance since most christian republicans won't vote for a Mormon, and Barbour has way to much questionable history to actually win! I could be wrong but I don't really see Huckabee running. He likes the big bucks he is making at Fox and I just can't see him leaving a sure thing to run for something the knows he can't win in the long run. As for Palin, who really knows what that nut will do, but if she does run it will be interesting to see the debates! roflmao

Reminds of the song "Stuck in the Middle With You" where they sing "clowns to the left of me jokers to the right..."! It just keeps getting crazier and crazier in the republican party. Seems like the crazier you are the more likely you are to run for president. I wonder if Glen Beck will form a committee in the near future? roflmao

All I can say is it looks pretty good for president Obama, and more "clowns" that jump on the "circus" band wagon, the better!

**JuniperLea** · 03-24-2011, 11:26 AM

Ah, Bachmann, the expendable one!

They won't run anyone viable against Obama... it wouldn't be prudent! LOL!

**NoPasaran** · 03-24-2011, 01:38 PM

In 2012 we might actually reach Peak Crazy.

We could hope for the sake of future generations but cynical me..I doubt it.

What I don't understand is why all the bother?

If there's a white house for sale that she has her eye on, is she so stupid that she needs a committee to come up with a bid for her?

I know you're not talking about 'The' White House. She may as well burn any money spent in that endeavor, it will do just as much good.

**Treestar** · 03-24-2011, 02:35 PM

That exploration will discover new kinds of crazy and that's about it.

**Dimwitted Fool** · 03-24-2011, 07:22 PM

to contribute mightily to her campaign.

Partly for the show of Gingrich, Palin and Bachmann and others out batshitting each other, and partly to see if such a display could bring an end to teabaggery.

**laurcunningham** · 03-24-2011, 07:27 PM

I'm not sure which woman makes my eye involuntarily twitch more. Bachmann or Palin?

... *eye twitch*

**Sugarloaf** · 03-25-2011, 05:58 AM

The thing about this that really scares me is the fact that she could win. No seriously. Someone recently posted a thread about the ignorance of a suprisingly high # of the American people. If she somehow manages to get the nomination, you never know...

I lol'd when our (now) Gov. Paul LePage won the Republican gubernatorial nomination. I thought at the time that there would be no way he'd win w/his mercurial personality, teabagger affiliations and well-documented ignorance and lies. I'm not laughing now. He won w/only 39% of the vote, but that doesn't change the fact that he's now our Gov. Sad

I agree..we had chimpy and the dick for 8 years courtesty of US corporatemediawhores, didn't we.

Btw, again sorry about the horrible LePage fiasco in Maine.

My prediction is the following:

1. They will try to out crazy and top each other in debates and rally's
2. The vitrolic and hate language we saw in 2008 will be tame compared to what we will actually hear and also what the MSM will choose to show. I believe we will hear racial hatred words towards minorities, gays, women, liberals etc.
3. I believe we will hear actual death threats against the Democratic leadership from Republican Candidates
4. I predict that the Teabaggers will start assulting Democratic events to scare people away from voting.
5. I predict that Democratic voters not only will not be bullied but any remaining moderate Republicans and Independents will swing to the Democratic side.

I predict that President Obama will win!

I agree! There is not doubt it will be a circus during the primary debates for a republican candidate, and it will all boil down to trying to out crazy the other guy to gain the tea party supporters. As you said that will alienate the moderate republicans and independents who will either sing to the democrats or not vote at all. I also think a whole lot of "Reagan democrats" will come back, along with their children who have been middle class voters for years, but are not seeing just how bad the republicans want to eliminate the middle class!
