Bachmann gets tough on Iran

Say what you want about her as far as domestic policy goes - and I certainly am no fan of her social conservatism.

But saying you would close the U.S. Embassy in Iran is pretty gutsy. Two thumbs up.

So, we haven't had one since 1979, right?

 

Doesn't outweigh this, IMHO.

Correct.

 

The lede about her just having a oops moment is bad journalism. I guess her comment that the HPV vaccine causes retardation didn't qualify.

 

If we don't close our embassy in Iran, the next thing you know the Chinese will have nuclear weapons.

 

Which will power their factories to make HPV vaccines to be shipped to the USA that cause mental defects.

 

I really wish this didn't show up on my Twitter feed with sports next to it.

 

Honest question, because her name keeps coming up: Do people take this woman seriously?

 

No.

 

There is a guy in my LDS ward who loves her and he's the treasurer of the county GOP. He's a Mormon who hates Romney and Huntsman, which isn't shocking if you look at how the LDS Church has a decent number of members who are far right.
