Michele Bachmann Says She'll Run For Another Term In Congress

Why? She's missed 518 votes since '07. Shouldn't district reps do their jobs and actually work to represent their constituents? I'd probably disagree with 90% of her voting record. But still...I'm tired of entitled career politicians.(especially Bachmann)

what happened to secretly eliminating her district while she was looking the other direction?

There are no secrets when it comes to redistricting. The courts needs to approve any changes.

If the voters in her district agree with you, they'll elect someone else. If they don't, she be re-elected. But that's kinda obvious, I guess.

And her district-- or any other-- wasn't eliminated because Minnesota kept the same number of seats in Congress after the 2010 census.

Of course, if the Democrats were doing their jobs, or doing anything but being spineless pandering servants of Wall Street and Hollywood titans, they might get a little traction in the hinterlands. But no, they're too busy bailing out City Corp and sponsoring SOPA and NDAA bills to pay attention to issues that matter to the rest of us.

At least Michele Bachmann adds a little crazy humor to the circus that is Washington politics.

Completely unsurprising. Politicians are politicians. They care only about keeping themselves in power and in the spotlight. Michelle will run until we stop talking about her. With us talking about her, we give her power.

Reminds me of what people in Africa are told when they think a witch is trying to psyche them out with black magic: repeat out loud, "You have no power here!"

Didn't Gandalf say that?
