TeamBachmann Michele Bachmann (Follow).@140townhall TY for this forum. I'm running 4 POTUS 2 bring the voice of the people back to DC. That voice requires fundamental changes.
Now guys, you know me a bit. You know I'm crazy about the Twits, Tubes, Faces and Google Plii. So you'd think I'd be all for American politicians embracing the interwotsits and engaging via a new, vibrant medium in the first presidential debate via Twitter some six hours ago.
Ignore that it's a Tea Party thing. Ignore, even, the prevailing tired diatribe of righteous outrage at Big Government / debt ceiling / degrading American values / unemployment / piranhas / chemtrails.
(disclosure: I have not read the entire stream and do not know for sure if 'debt ceiling' was mentioned, but I stand by my statement nonetheless).
Ignore all that.
Imagine these are smart, rational people honestly and sincerely presenting the ideas they feel are the best for the people of their country. Now imagine them sitting in chair on a stage facing an audience. and imagine that this 140townhall.com bullshit is a transcript of that event.
Listen, with your mind's ear, to how empty and hollow their overly short, acronymized sentences are, how they neither acknowledge nor respond to one another, how they talk over each other when some need to say several sentences in a row. Every word serving one or two purposes: self-glorification or blaming someone for something.
I honestly couldn't even make it a quarter down the page; in my head I heard them chattering in studious discord, in complete ignorance of one another, each vapidly addressing the audience directly resulting in something that can only be described as a demented cacophony of utter bollocks.
Which, I guess, brings us back to the Tea Party...
