Michelle Bachman Won't Run Again In 2014

Thank you Michelle for your service to the nation.

Now what is the reason? A coming ethics probe? Fears she can't win in her district? Fox News offered her big bucks to work for them?

All of the above...

The polls were telling her she couldn't win.
The FBI is telling her she might be indicted.
And FauxNews is telling her they always have a place on the roster for one more wacko.

Should free up the 12 million the GOP spent every two years making sure she kept winning her seat.

Yes, Michele, thank you for your service.... :rofllol

Yes, thank you, Michele... In 8 years, you accomplished exactly NOTHING...And we should all be grateful for that.

"A courageous voice for freedom..." -- John Boehner :rofllol You can't make this stuff up.


Oh....And the standard space for Fred to find a "They failed too": ____

Wow, almost as impressive as Paul Ryan. In 14 years of collecting about $2 million from the taxpayers, his legislative accomplishments:
78 bills sponsored
2 bills passed
(renamining a post office and cutting excise taxes on arrowheads, yes he is an archer)

For that kind of money we should be able to get Mrs. Jones' 3rd-grade class to rename post offices... They would do just as good a job, and we wouldn't have to subsidize their incompetence.

LJ says MB did nothing in Congress. The New Republic says she did an incredible amount of damage. I think I will go with TNR. She really rallied the TEA Party in 2010 and helped take Congress away from Barack and Pelosi.

Not surprising....it depends on whether you measure the success of an elected official by what they do for the American people and the country, or what they do for their political party.

Apples and oranges... Her record in Congress is her record... The FACTS are the FACTS.

Damage?... Her "Greatest Hits" reel has been running on FIVE networks for the past 24 hours....She did more damage to the GoTP than any other politician since Richard Nixon... And I THANK HER FOR IT.

But feel free to try to twist what I didn't bother to point out because it was so bloody obvious into something else.

Taking back the House from Pelosi is a much bigger deal than passing a few bills. Imagine how many trillions it saved the American taxpayer when you don't have Pelosi spending like a drunken sailor.
