If you’re American or if you know any Americans, please watch this 3 minute video to make sure you KNOW what could happen if Michele Bachmann is elected president in 2012.

Wow. The replies to this are disgusting, and I just lost so much respect for Tyler Oakley. First of all, what does her personal opinion have anything to do with her running the country? She wouldn’t be running international affairs on whether and man should marry a man, or a woman should marry a woman. “What could happen if Michelle Bachmann is elected president in 2012”, wow… that line right there. This is such a disgusting and completely condescending post about a woman who is absolutely amazing. You can’t help how a person was raised, and the fact that the reporter keeps grilling her about it when she obviously gave her stand on the issue is exactly how Democrats act, and it is so annoying and disturbing. Nothing but good can from her becoming the first woman President of the United States. 

Secondly, can we just take a moment to ask ourselves the more important question, what will happen if Barack Obama is re- elected President in 2012? The economy will fall bottom out (and yes, it CAN get worse than it is now); there will be no jobs left, and we will be sunken into such a depression, the rest of the world (i.e., China) who we owe debt to will see how vulnerable we are, and strike. If you hadn’t noticed, Standard and Poor’s rated the United States as a AA+ country. From a AAA to an AA+, making our country at the same standing as Belgium. America is supposed to be the greatest country in the world, but instead we have a president that is Muslim, cancelled NASA and left it up to the Russian’s, has completely flipped our entire economy upside down, goes around the world APOLOGIZING for America’s “behaviour”, is a complete coward, and goes around all ethics, laws, and the constitution. So, if you ask me, Michelle Bachmann is one of the best candidates to be running for President in 2012, and I stand behind her, and the other Republican/ Tea Party members running for the presidency 100%. I believe that we need a POSITIVE change in our country, and that it be restored to the constitutional belief system it was created with. 

I am so enraged right now, I can’t even see. I am so excited to vote, and I will definitely NOT be voting for Barrack Obama in 2012, and I WILL vote Republican. He will NOT win!

Also, it makes me laugh hysterically that Tyler says “make sure you KNOW what will happen…” when obviously he is so completely idiotic and knows NOTHING about politics. Fuck off.

For anyone who believes it cant happen, please look at this person. Read what they’re saying, because soon, a lot more people will be repeating this bullshit. If you don’t think it’s possible for someone like Bachmann to become president, think again - we’re surrounded by idiots.

I confess, I find it dispiriting to read the polls and see candidates, mostly Republicans, leading in various midterm races while promoting many of the very same ideas that got us into this mess. Am I hearing right? Let’s have more tax cuts, unlinked to any specific spending cuts and while we’re still fighting two wars — because that worked so well during the Bush years to make our economy strong and our deficit small. Let’s immediately cut government spending, instead of phasing cuts in gradually, while we’re still mired in a recession — because that worked so well in the Great Depression. Let’s roll back financial regulation — because we’ve learned from experience that Wall Street can police itself and average Americans will never have to bail it out.

Since DADT was enacted, investigating, discharging and transporting gay soldiers back home and recruiting and training their replacements has cost our country $363 million.
Thank you, Senator John McCain!

I was just going to post this but then I thought, “What could have bee done with $363 million dollars?” So I got out my calculator.
With $363 Million I could have:
I could have given 3,630,000 children a laptop under One Laptop One Child. (One Laptop One Child laptops cost $100.00 each)
I could have provided 64,066 families of 4 with food for a year. (Calculated under the equation that the Dept of Ag uses to determine the poverty line.)
I could have bought 3,630,000 textbooks for public school children, placing new books in 121,000 classrooms. (Assuming $100.00 per textbook and 30 children in a classroom)
I could have purchased a free lunch for 336,111 students for a whole year. This could have been a free lunch for all of the students in more than 150 public schools. (assuming a $6.00 lunch for 180 days a year)
I could have bought 3630 families a home. (Assuming a $100,000.00 home) This could have taken 10,890 children off the street (if each family had three children).
I could have paid medical bills for 279,000 people. (Assuming that $1300.00 of charges occur on average in an average hospital stay.)
But instead of those things, we hassled gay soldiers.

i don’t often feel this way about tumblr posts but holy shit this is really great

amazing.

Felons should be allowed to vote.

Seriously it’s like 10% of the population with no voice.

Voting is a right. It shouldn’t be taken away.

So true. Contrary to popular belief being incarcerated does not make you less than human. Especially when most people in prison are there for victimless crimes.
