Michele Bachmann thread redux

[daveshel]

The old thread devolved into sniping and ended up pretty much devoid of content.

Here's an editorial that analyzes the recent history of Bachmann, the GOP and the Tea Party. I'm in agreement with Granderson's point of view, and would add that the Tea Party was doomed to failure from the start because of its aversion to facts and its insistence that modern issues could be resolved by application of 200+ year-old models of economics and taxation.

So you started yet another Bachmann thread this time attacking all the GOP with hopes of a better outcome? LOL, let me know the next time you see the GOP trying to rehash some old 1800 tax/economic policies.

I'm a bit concerned about your reading comprehension, Matt.

Gunderson's thesis is that the Tea Party represented the 'stupid' wing of the GOP. I added that the Tea Party was indeed stupid in attempting to balance the budget by pulling the rug out from under things that weren't around to fund in 1800. Is it your position that the Tea Party was grounded on viable ideology?

So that's how you come up with economic policies from 200 years ago. If they want to cut funding too it, and it wasn't around in 1800, that means they have economic policies form 1800. I got it now.
