Don’t be a jerk. She was being rhetorical, she doesn’t necessarily believe Indians actually traded blood, nor does she mean for voters to do so either. She knew people would know what she meant when she said it, but of course there is always some fool who wants to show off their ignorance.

Sorry, I embrace the Anishinabe warrior society with great reverence and respect. We don’t “slit wrists” to become “blood brothers.”
It’s a clan thing proven on the field of battle. As an Irishman, I’m sure you understand.
It’s an unfortunate misinterpretation by the congresswoman.
I’m not knocking her, just wishing she had studied her “Indian” misinterpretation of “slit wrists.”
Or as the ref says: No harm, no foul.

Peggy Noonan? Yuch! And she should just shut her elitist, know-it-all pie-hole.
The rest of them are fine by me. And those dems are hag city.

Interesting times. The men, for the most part, are eunuchs afraid of offending the PC police lest those liberals might not like them.
The women are the ones with the balls and the will and knowledge to use them.
If ya got 'em, smoke 'em.

Bachmann-Palin 2012 My dream ticket so far. They are the only candidates I've donated to or would again.

In a fiery speech that had her conservative Colorado audience cheering Independence Institute, which bills itself as...
This is slavery, Bachmann said after claiming many Americans pay half their income to taxes
In a speech filled with urgent and violent rhetoric
At times, Bachmanns legislative briefing sounded more like the plot of a slasher movie.
Wow, you can just feel the objectivity here, can't you? So even-handed, so fair, so non-partisan...

Oh, come on, Sarge...while I never slit my wrists as a kid, I know for a fact I slit the palm of my hand a few times with friends to shake and be blood brother. Was it right? Hell no...but that's what we heard was right in the injun' world for blood brothers.
If Ms. Bachmann wants to be a little off on her indian lore while maintaining that incredibly smart intellect and "hot" cougar image at the same time, I am willing to give her the slack.

Bachmann and Palin are the Alpha pubbies. Hopefully they can shame some of our better men into stepping up and finding their cojones.

“I am willing to give her the slack.”
No problem with slack on my part. We just need to educate her. To do so would bring many votes from the Upper Midwest into her camp. I’m willing to work on that. I like the lady...

When my socialist sister-in-law in St. Paul hears Michelle Bachmann’s name, she vomits pee soup and her head spins.

Why is it that it's only Republican women with balls these days.
The men are Milquetoast.

That’s why I hated Bush so much. He alone, killed the republican party. Bush against Carey was the last free election in this country. There will be no more counting votes by anybody other than the Communists. Mark my words on this. I know how they do battle.

Bachmann/Palin overdrive, 2012!Good one! :o)

I wonder that myself. They’d be surprised how easy it would be to get elected if they’d act like men, speak to strength, talk to the sense of honor and integrity. Instead they behave like coy political virgins. I’d support Bachmann and Palin over any of the men out there. Men have been feminized and faggotized and fixated on their shrinking manhood. Why? People hunger for real leadership and someone who speaks to their anger against a government grown too big and corrupt.
