Throw Bachmann Out

It sounds as if Michelle Bachmann is on the ropes, and I sincerely hope she gets knocked out of office on election day.

The things she said on Hardball were bad enough - accusing Sen. Obama of being anti-American, and then demanding the press investigate members of Congress for anti-American sentiment.

Yet another in a long line of the "if you don't agree with me, you hate America" type of idiot conservative who adopted the victimology of the "if you don't agree with me, you hate blacks/women/the poor" liberals.

But no, after saying those things on Hardball she has the audacity, nay cowardice, to claim that it was all Chris Matthews' fault. He laid a trap, led me into it, I am a victim.

Any serious person who watches that interview sees pretty clearly that if anything, Matthews opened the door by asking Ms. Bachmann to clarify her beliefs, and Ms. Bachmann barged right through. There was no trap, no confusing language in Matthews' question. He asked directly what she thought of Mr. Obama and she answered as she obviously believes.

Cowards and idiots like her do not deserve to be in elected office, whether it's the city council or the U.S. Congress. And to show I'm bipartisan in my disdain for morons, the same goes for the Democrat Congressman in Florida who only won office because of Foley's sexual problems but who went on to cheat on his wife several dozen times.

I seriously hope that party loyalty cannot overcome common sense in both cases.
