Michelle Bachmann update

[sportage]

I'm not surprised there are people like Bachmann. I'm just amazed people vote for them.
And in a majority. If that doesn't give one nightmares...?

Well, she's just as nutso as ever. Yesterday on Glenn Beck's radio show she accused fellow Minnesota representative Keith Ellison (the first-ever Muslim congressman) of having ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.

So essentially she's on a witch hunt and is convinced that all Muslims are terrorists. I think she should be censured for knowingly making false accusations. Of treason, no less. She's sort of like Joe McCarthy, except a lot less intelligent.

Of course she refused to be interviewed by MPR because they wouldn't give her softball questions or accept everything she says as being completely true. You know it's bad when ever her own party wants her to shut up.

John Boner was asked if Michelle should be removed from the Armed Services committee. He didn't exactly say no.

When Glenn Beck wants to interview you, you should probably get your ethical compass checked for accuracy.

Hey, it just goes to show how great a sense of humor those folks who voted for her have. They all wanted to share Bachmann with the rest of the nation so we all could have as much fun as they did voting for her. I mean, it just can't be for any other reason huh? I'm pretty sure a huge kegger was had prior to going to the polls.

Yup and it will be on display again when dumbocrats send her opponent millions in donations from out of state and she wins again.

They dont look to be doing that because he could self finance if he wanted to. Surprisingly hes doing decently well in polling when she has out raised him over 4 to 1. If he put more of his money into the campaign I am sure the democrats would toss him some money to match, but at this time unless he takes leads in the polls they probably aren't going to give much. Not when they have a better opportunity to knock off a different MN Republican.

She should be censured and removed from certain posts for her recent shenanigans.

She has the support of the whack job fundie base (yes, including the Tea Party'ers). Nobody on that side of the aisle wants to piss them off, Boehner being a constant victim of this circumstance. So I can't see anything happening to her that includes losing face in any way, shape or form, unless the Repubs get the go-ahead from the folks that control the fundies first.

Why would Dems want to spend money to see her gone?

She's often in the news for her wacky ideas and that is good publicity for Dems.

On the other hand, she sits on the House Intelligence Committee. Which scares the pants off me.
