The Moderate Voice: Michelle Bachmann and the Minnesota Puzzle

    This woman is crazier than McKinney. At least the Democrats in Georgia voted out their looney toon.

    Bachmann as the Republican McKinney... I have to admit, as hooks go it's got a certain appeal.

    I sent money in to her opponent also, Jazz, even though I live in Maryland! She gave a crazy interview on Hardball during which she suggested that members of Congress be investigated for unpatriotic activity. This modern-day McCarthy reminds me a little of that other lunatic-- Katherine Harris. With unemployment so high-- why are all the screwballs running the country?(Illinois is another state with quite a few --not including Obama or his fellow Senator Dick Durbin)

    Lots of opponents of the stimulus bill were quick to seize on some kind of ACORN connection.

    It's kind of Pavlovian.

    I spent many hours consulting in Minnesota, and I found the people to be very reasonable. I was shocked when Ventura was elected governor. With Michele Bachmann in the US Congress, it is now confirmed that many nut cases live in this state. I'm certainly happy that I no longer have any work there. Is there something in America that says if you look like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachman, it doesn't matter how much of a nut case you are, you can still be elected to high office? No wonder this country has gone down the tubes! Clearly the failure of our education system is a strategy. Logical thought is out. Rule of the rich is in. Blind obedience to right-wing nut cases allows it to continue. Being attractive is not the only clue here. Ventura and Limbaugh and Cheney aren't cute. Sorry to Bachmann's Minnesota district. You are part of the problem.

    She's the gift that keeps on giving. I hope she continues to be as vocal and opinionated over the next few years, it will only help paint the Republican party as loons.

    (Kinda how most Democrats are secretly gleeful that Sarah Palin is hinting at 2012. Please, oh please!)
