Bye Bye Bachmann
« on: May 09, 2012, 05:49:50 am »
Bachshit Insane is apparently taking her family to her husband's parental homeland and looking to run for office there.

Thank you, Switzerland, for ensuring she'll remain far away from the White House for many years to come and making the world a slightly safer place.

If you read the article you will see that she did not specifically seek Swiss citizenship. She was granted it automatically when her husband (the son of Swiss citizens) registered for dual citizenship. He did it because his children wanted to claim their dual citizenship, and they couldn't unless he did.

Saying she is considering running for office there or that she explicitly sought out Swiss citizenship is simply untrue.

My bad, I took the source that tweeted that link in good faith when they said she was running.

Of course the prospect that she's out of politics full stop is to be welcomed.

Hello, Cmdr Shep. I don't have the strength these days to do much more than skim the site for a few minutes at a time, so I don't comment much.

...but I am still around.

Without trying to derail the thread too much:

Also, am I the only one who read what you said as though their children are trying to run away to Switzerland and their parents accidentally let them?


Well, considering the vast circumstantial evidence calling Bachman's husband's own heterosexuality into question and the fact that Switzerland recognizes same-sex-marriage (although they call it something like "registered partners" or something), it does raise some eyebrows.

... and nothing of value was lost.

And frankly I'm okay with Bachmann moving to Switzerland. They're neutral all the time, so even if we deported all the crazy there, there's no way they could end up hating us. Also, she'll have plenty of fun with the militia mandate that requires all homes to have guns and ammunition in them.

I wonder if Bachmann is aware the Swiss are required to purchase health insurance which is heavily regulated?

You know... Obamacare.

Isn't Switzerland one of the most liberal countries in Europe?

Yes, it is.

Her political future there will be very difficult if she sticks to her platform here.

And isn't same sex marriage legal there?

Guys, please. She has NO political aspirations in Switzerland, and did not actually seek Swiss citizenship. The entire thing is just a legal curiosity created by the way the Swiss laws work. It's amusing, but meaningless.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that she spent a very frustrating day yesterday searching everywhere for Swiss language courses, to no avail.
