Michele Bachmann,

So, yes. It is true. Michele Bachmann became the first women to win the completely fake and entirely unscientific Iowa straw poll. That seems to be a place where she is used to, a magical world where you can fill up with the type of self importance that allows you to make statements based on absolutely no truth what so ever. One doesn't have to search far in order to find the dozens and dozens of incorrect statements made by Michele Bachmann.

To name a few, Obama dipped in to the oil reserves at a time when we have never been as well off in that department and what does Bachmann say? She chastises the President for depleting the entire oil reserves. Try 4%, and as if no one else would have said anything about that before she did? She also has said that the Constitution only requires her to tell the census "how many people are in our home." Nothing else accept that. Yup, both illegal and wrong.

For one that comes out of left field, "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence." One, she's wrong. Gerald Ford was President in 1976 when there was fear of a swine flu epidemic. Two, to suggest a partisan link with a deadly disease is idiotic not interesting.

Earlier in the year Bachmann stated that she was proud to be making a speech in the town of Waterloo, Iowa, where John Wayne was from, because she embodies his ideals. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the actor John Wayne was not from Waterloo, John Wayne Gacy was and he was a serial killer.

Besides not knowing her history (John Quincy Adams is a founding father? His father is.) Bachmann has thirty ratings on her politifact file and only one of them is rated true. She has two rated mostly true, two rated half true and the other twenty-five break down as five mostly false, thirteen straight up false and seven of her statements are rated "pants on fire." Ladies and Gentlemen, we just might up with Pinocchio as the president.
