I'll just post my favorite photo of Bachmann here - she's spying on a GLBT rally:




- by hiding in the bushes. I would give a buck to know what her bodyguard was thinking... - probably something along the lines of "I have a family to feed."

Tell you one thing..The media should have learned something from Tucson....as soon as the screaming and divisiveness starts, Im turning it off . Everyone should...but thats the problem. Like on I-95, you cant help but look at the ten car pileup.....you get upset for a moment...then thank God you arent in it. It's no wonder really decent people cant get far in politics.....

Move along. Nothing to see here.


In her district? or the entire state?
Senators are to represent the states. Representatives represent their states district. At least that is how it is suppose to work.

I don't want to upset another "left wing pothead" but you have lost a grip on the facts.
In all high profile runs, Palin's pick lost - because she turns
off more people than she turns on.

Palin campaigned heavily for Angle, O'Donnell, Tancredo, and Raese and they all lost. Rand Paul definitely didn't need her support to win, nor did Rubio.

55 percent of voters called "The tea party" not a factor in their vote. 18 percent said they voted to send a message against the movement. Only 23 percent of voters said they voted to send a message in favor of the Tea Party movement.

A lot voted simple to send a message to whoever voted for TARP (get the bums out).

And yes, Bachmann is a train wreck.

The sad part is, the GOP no longer needs the TParty. Their usefulness is over, but there are some still denying that reality. Bachmann is one of those and will continue to make a fool of herself.

Yes, and even the entertainment factor of it is getting
very old.
