Rep. Michele Bachmann, who officially announced yesterday in Iowa that she is running for president, appeared on Good Morning America Monday, where George Stephanopoulos attempted to clarify some of her previous statements.
Among them: Bachmanns claim that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence worked tirelessly to end slavery.
Now with respect, Congresswoman, thats just not true, Stephanopoulos said. Many of them including Jefferson and Washington were actually slave holders and slavery didnt end until the Civil War.
Bachmann dodged the question, answering, Well, you know whats marvelous is that in this country and under our Constitution, we have the ability when we recognize that something is wrong to change it. And thats what we did in our country. We changed it. We no longer have slavery. Thats a good thing. And what our Constitution has done for our nation, is to give us the basis of freedom unparalleled in the rest of the world.
She goes on to claim that John Quincy Adams, who was a small boy during the Revolutionary War and did indeed eventually work to abolish slavery, should be counted as a Founding Father.
Watch the visibly distraught Stephanopoulos interview with the tea party candidate, in which she discusses the minimum wage, Sarah Palin and her foster children.
You're a dickweed. If I was childish like you, I'd accuse you of screwing your rescue dogs, but I won't because I actually respect you for doing what you do in that regard.
I love horses and dogs and birds but not in the way that you childishly imply. Grow up dickwad.

You can dish it out, ethel, but you sure can't take it. Note who began this series of exchanges. After that, you can either 'grow up' or fuck off, freddie. Whichever is easier for you.
I doubt war's work history is unusual considering the changeablity of the financial industry in the last decade.
Chuckles...Boofer, as usual, is simply being insistent in displaying his ignorance. The concepts of a "promotion" and "leaving one company for a better opportunity" are lost on him.
Boofer is slotted for the rest of his life. This is it for him.
I've worked for 4 companies. Never been fired from any of them. Every company I worked for I left for a) more money and b) a better job title. Evey company I have worked for I have had no less than either 3 promotions or title bumps.
Boofer will always be "Head of Acccounting" of a 4 person firm.

I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
My guess is that if, in fact, he was "wrong twice" then the one thing he got right was your need to sober up...
First he has to know the difference between good and evil something he has never demonstrated and then have nerves that are not fried from all the Aspartame he's subjected them to.
All you demonstrate here is that you've never run a company. So you advocate slave wage labor? When the workers rise up we will make sure we hang your class first.
I thought you were independently wealthy and didn't have a job?????
Or was that someone else who told me that???
