Pedro Picasso still needs a little convincing before casting his vote for Michelle Bachmann.
Of course, in his moonbat state it probably won't matter, but it still would be nice to know she can pull in the stupid vote.

Watching Bachmann on MTP; she truly is a clueless dolt.
As ignorant as anyone I have ever heard in politics...and that's saying a lot.

3. She tries to portray herself as an economist.
Clueless.

4. She's a complete nut...
..but she stays on message extremely well.
Bachmann is obviously a much stronger candidate in the Republican primaries than many counted on.
Now most of the DUmmies begin that proven democrat technique of describing the American electorate as a bunch of
insane morons.
There's no better way of persuading people to your point of view than insulting them.

7. We see through her, but one of my concerns is many Americans won't. Too many fall for
the sound bites and slick propaganda. She does do a good job IMO of staying on message and that's what makes her even more dangerous. The faithful will fall for her. Also, Ed Rollins seems to be giving to her pretty good coaching.

17. Yes, she does speak with a certain confidence and authority, when her
cage is rattled she remains unshaken, she speaks from a delusional state IMO, but truly believes those delusions, making her particularly dangerous IMO.
Exactly as you said, "It's not what you say it's how you say it." Many will fall for this IMO thinking she really knows her sh**. If the economy were not so bad she wouldn't have a chance IMO, but this economy gives one some excellent talking points.
The thing that really scares them is she can do that without a teleprompter.

18. I agree...
Bachmann seems very confident, stays on message and seems fairly unflappable in interviews.
Perry, as dim as he may be, has some of those qualities as well. Both come across as extremely confident in their wrong headed policy positions, both project strength, both know how to stay on message. Looks like it is going to be a battle between Bachmann and Perry for who gets to be the anti-Romney.
I still think the Republican ticket is going to be Perry/Rubio. Bachmann has done well, but she's still just a wacky congresswoman with no actual accomplishments. Perry, I think, is the stronger of the 2 candidates - and Rubio will be added to the ticket to win Florida and make inroads into the Hispanic vote.

12. Exactly, she will appeal to many Americans 'cause she's just like them. Bush
wasn't bad enough for some Americans, they want more and worse. Ed Rollins has this down to a science. He knows exactly how stupid many Americans are and what they will fall for and vote for. She's exactly the tool/front they need.
Murkins are so stupid.

13. Particularly that portion that doesn't read or think. A large portion indeed.
Yep, Murkins can't read or think, but DUmmies can.

15. Depends upon your idea of stupid is.
Being able to clearly articulate stupid ideas doesn't make the ideas any less stupid. Sarah Palin, now THERE is some serious stupid. Bachmann presents herself as far more intelligent than Palin, but her ideas are still based in flat-earth territory.
Pedro Picasso, over a long period of time, has proven himself an expert on stupid.
In fact, if there was a cartoon book for learning to be stupid, Pedro would probably draw blank speech bubbles for it, to be filled in later by someone more competent.
