A Michelle Bachmann fan hopes she can take it all the way
(click pic to embiggen)

Despite what’s happening in Iowa is pretty much meaningless in the grand scheme of things, if you lived in Iowa, were a Republican and could stomach one of the listed candidates or one of the write-ins, which one of da playas would you vote for?

There have been five times in America’s history when Iowa Republicans descended upon the grounds of their flagship university to gorge themselves on sticks of fried food, snap photos with some of America’s most famous politicians and, oh yeah, vote for who they want to be the next president of the United States.

GOP hopefuls, or more accurately Iowa hopefuls, have been dolling out campaign swag, snacks, sweets and speeches to Iowa voters in the hopes of persuading them to cast a ballot in their favor in Saturday’s Ames Straw Poll. But this vote, in every legal sense of the word, is meaningless.

It does not count toward the Iowa caucus nor does it play in the general election. In fact, historically it has had little correlation with who will be a successful candidate.

Of the five straw poll winners in history, three have gone on to win the Iowa caucus, two managed to secure the Republican nomination and only one has ever made it to the White House. Statistically speaking, a highly coveted win in Ames gives a candidate about a 20 percent chance of even getting on the ballot in the general election.

    Perry or Bachmann. Get ready for it any one of them will be better than the current temporary occupant.

  2. msbpodcast says:

    I love the shot of a submissive Bachman going, uh, make that chowing, down on a big fuckin’ corn dawg.

    Now use it for a dildo, a great big, fat, long, greasy dildo…

    All that missing is a messy money shot.

  3. Ah_Yea says:

    Mextli beat me to it.

    Anybody But Barack!

  4. sargasso_c says:

    Okay, which one of you voted Ron Paul 18 times?

  5. President Amabo says:

    Geez. Beaten twice in the first five. There’s some scariness there, but any of them would be better than bHo.

    Hell, a bucket of viscous liquid would be an improvement.

  6. Paul says:

    The picture’s a real cheap shot. Speaks volumes about the submitter.

  7. So what says:

    Obvious metaphor for the way the t party and GOP are devouring each other, or its a dick.

  8. sho off says:

    With 23 kids? How’s she have time for this? Where’s their foster mom? They can’t all be over 21.

    We have two kids and my wife claims she has no time for sausages or swallowing whole.

    Hypocrite of the first order. Family first.

    Let’s get some interviews with the foster kids.

    Did she take government checks for fostering them? Did she send them to IVY leagues with her own money or financial aid? Somebody?

  9. Dallas says:

    The picture indicates she’ll do well in gaining bipartisan support.

  10. Animby says:

    #2 msb: You are one gross bastard, aren’t you. I’m no Bachmann supporter but it’s obvious some liberal photographer waited and waited for her to take a bite of that dog just to make foreigners like you happy. Did you cum in your pants? Drool on your keyboard? Or are you totally impotent?

  11. ECA says:

    I hate to say this..
    But, it DONT MATTER..
    we are no longer a democratic/republic..
    WE are run by the CORPS..

    As soon as someone is voted in…they are told, that IF they wont follow WHAT THEY WANT…they will crash the USA. They will pull out and go away.

    Huntsman. Mostly unknown but he has traveled, speaks a foreign language, always looks out of place. The one most likely to be a moderate Puke. He did raise his hand though when the group was asked if they would reject a debt reduction plan that raised taxes in a 10 to 1 ratio.

    When you are in a mob, its best to run their direction. I don’t hold that against him now but certainly would later.

    Has everyone seen the Daily Show Parallel graph of the debt ceiling legislation? Under all plans mentioned our National Debt continues to grow outrageously.

    Anyone supporting either side is a dupe. Just a long simmer to revolution.

  13. bytehead says:

    I have to laugh at all the Obama haters, because if there IS one thing that Obama is, it’s a Bush (II) lite. We should already be out of Afghanistan. We should already have our foot ready to step out and leave Iraq. The passed health care plan? Just a retread of the Republican plan that they submitted back in the ’90s, and it’s a piece of crap plan to start with. Economically, we’re going along with the same plan that’s been in existence since 2001 or thereabouts. He even extended the Bush tax credits. The only non-Republican thing he has done was to get rid of DADT. Obama may serve (some) different masters, but the results are the same, and will continue to be the same, no matter who sits in the Whitehouse.

  14. bobbo, the pragmatic libertarian Existential Anti-Theist says:

    #15–byte==excellent recognition. Its why the Puke base will nominate Perry in a landslide: he’s even dumber and more religious than Bush–ie one step away/deeper than BushtheRetard, TWO steps away/deeper than Spineless Obama.

    Course–everyone else will vote against Perry giving Obama the mandate. Will Obama reform in the second term?

    Character and lack thereof will trump all. So I doubt it. Don’t see who is up next in 2016==probably some new guy.

    Tick…..tock.

  15. BigBoyBC says:

    #15 Bytehead,

    He really didn’t get rid of DADT, all he did was authorize a study to think about it. Which is typical Obama (do something, without doing anything) it was a court ruling DADT was unconstitutional that actually took it down.

    My only question is, why did it take a court so long to rule, DADT goes back to Clinton.

    In # 12 Animby said: You are one gross bastard, aren’t you. and Or are you totally impotent?

    1) Yep. I am I even grossed out a punk rock band (I wrote a song about the, uh, problems, that the Catholic Church was having in Québec with all those messy allegations of Pedophilia [the problems was that were true.] Like wise I wrote a charming little Christmass carol about a fiery disaster we had in Chapais, Québec which was not too well received. [Too soon, too soon, dude. was what I heard.])

    2) Nope. I am a fully functioning male homo sapiens sapiens. I merely happen never to have bred. As it turned out, it was a wise decision. My first wife slept with almost as many women as I have (she is an unrepentant and quite glorious lesbian [great fun in bed but not mother material,]) and since my MS has recurred in my near dotage, I’m glad I don’t have a child with my current wife to saddle with my elder care.

    Never assume that you know your opponent. (It just emphasizes your own inadequacies.)

    I have avoided insulting you, despite some strong temptation, because I don’t know you. I only have some of your stated opinions, and, since my own opinions are as far off the wall as its possible to get, you’re certainly entitled to your own.

  17. msbpodcast says:

    In # 13 ECA said some stuff I totally agree with.

    Corporations are fictitious entities, even given breath here in the Supreme court, and they own allegiance to nothing and to no one.

    When they decide to abandon our desiccated hull, the dried husk of the United States of America, they will leave behind neither friend nor kith and kin.

    We will merely have been fools who gave our all and died broken on the wheel of commerce.

  18. bobbo, the pragmatic libertarian Existential Anti-Theist says:

    #18–Peapod==grousing about Animby? Interesting your response is so “too much info” and off point. You posted at #2 consistently with the clear intent of Uncle Dave’s amusement at catching Backman in a suggestive pose. Some of us bad boys need a hot dog in the picture, some a banana, some only need an open mouth, other (like me?) only the picture of a woman. Amusing how finely set our triggers can be.

    Speaking of TMI, what this actually suggests is lack of a deep loving mutually supportive relationship with the fairer sex. Course, that comes across quite strongly in your post as well. -or- can it truly be a male’s dual nature? CK Louis just did his comedy show on this “C’mon God.” The Angel/Whore complex healthy males have on the issue of sex–or was it food?

    So, here the three of us are. Three creative author wanna be’s looking for creative outlets, or was it stifling the same?

    Duality of Nature. Always Amusing.
    Impulse Control. It goes right after the knees.

    Ha, ha.

  19. Dick Perry says:

    Although Iowa is pork country, it is against the bible to eat pork. Just sayn’ Michelle.

  20. What? says:

    A “Lady” doesn’t lift up her top in public, piss on a public street, or deep throat something in public.

    Mrs. Bachmann wishes to be President of the United States, yet she does not have the the sense to NOT publicly deep throat a phalic food directly in front of a camera!

    She doesn’t have to be a Lady, but should should be self aware enough to know she must act like a lady in public!!

    How can anyone be so dumb to support that piece of garbage?

  21. MikeN says:

    There is a chance for an economic turnaround to get Obama reelected. His administration is losing in court causing many of his job killing initiatives to get thrown out. ObamaCare was ruled unconstitutional by the 11th circuit, at least the individual mandate portion. So at this point an appeals court has supported a majority of states against the job killing Obamacare. Now a federal judge has thrown out Obama rules restricting oil drilling.

  22. bobbo, the pragmatic libertarian Existential Anti-Theist says:

    Paraphrased from Dumb and Dumber: “So what are the odds you and I can get together?”…”About one in a million!”….”So, I have a chance!!”

    Yes, there is a chance the economy will turn around allowing Obama to get re elected. In context, I think a million times more chance Obama will get elected because the Puke will nominate anyone running against him right now.

    Elections are a comparison vote==more against the worst candidate than one FOR the other.

    Hope and change elections are rare and are about positive votes for someone. The standard is to keep the worst out of office.

    Same as it ever was.

  23. What? says:

    Animby said in #12 that the liberal reporter waited for her to make an unflattering (slutty, my word) pose. Waited for about 2 seconds after she said, “Well, here goes nothing!” Your spin is ridiculous.

    Please God, give us Ron Paul.

    Be a Ron Paul Republican, or RPR.

  24. Ah_Yea says:

    Animby, don’t be too hard on msbpodcast.

    He is either jealous of, or wanting some of, Bachmanms’ obvious talents.

  25. Faxon says:

    Uncle Dave,

    YOU’RE THE DICK!

  26. Observer says:

    Maybe that’s her tongue.

  27. foobar says:

    #28 It doesn’t look like she’s actually enjoying herself.

    She’s still Palin’s stunt double.

  28. James Cornwell Samson says:

    She’ll do whatever she can to get a head.
    (Eyes rolled up in head duly noted)

  29. Beno3000 says:

    I’m sure her husband can do it better.
