PELLA, Iowa (AP) — Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann says she voted against the federal budget compromise because it failed to remove funding for the health care bill enacted last year.

The Republican is considering a campaign for the 2012 presidential nomination.

Bachmann was among only six Republicans to oppose the deal.

She says she was disappointed with the bill, adding that "voters expected us to defund Obama-care."

1. The more moron she. Crazy-eyes Bachmann epitomizes

the concept.

[AllTooEasy]

10. Obama is just like her and every other Republican...

...so says the ass-clowns who claim to be Progressive and post negative Obama posts on DU.

[davidthegnome]

14. Huh

Interesting statement. So you can't be Progressive and post negative Obama posts? This ass-clown disagrees with you.

[DefenseLawyer]

16. That's right, any failure by the President means he is "just like" Bachmann

I think everyone can agree with that. Nuance makes my brain hurt. Give me Roy Rogers over William Munny every time.

[Bandit]

18. Just like Bush* .."Either with us or against us"

:shrug: Liberals usually recognize shades of grey. :shrug:

[Angry Dragon]

2. Any sightings of her in Minnesota??

It seems she thinks Iowans elected her

[MineralMan]

3. Nah, she doesn't come to Minnesota. Why would she?

She's not planning to run here again, I don't think. She may take a losing stab at Amy Klobuchar's Senate seat in 2012, but she'll lose dramatically. Amy has a lot of support from moderate Republicans because, gosh darn it, people like her.

I'm not hearing much about anything she's doing in the House, either. I guess she has other things to do most of the time.

[Auntie Bush]

6. So does that mean you think we're going to get rid of Bachmann for good?

:woohoo:

[azurnoir]

7. you mean people liked her Dad ?

which is a bit closer to the truth IMO

[SomeGuyInEagan]

4. Frankly, we're happiest when she's not in-state ...

... she's fuckin' crazy.

[Iliyah]

5. Why are

tea brats against people having afforable health care? Why are they against it period. We should have a universal health care plan for everyone.

Yeah you are right, she's bat sh*t crazy!

[goobergoober01]

8. Michelle--- your cave is calling.... the fresh load of batshit is ready

[bongbong]

9. Book

Her ghost-written book will be appearing for sale in 3,2,1.....

It's ALWAYS about the Benjamins with repigs.

[KamaAina]

11. Working title: "Bachmann Loser Overdrive"

She's just takin' care of business...

[bongbong]

13. asdf

I like it!

[Kablooie]

12. Sounds like the next GOP presidential candidate to me.

[Vinca]

15. I wish she'd quit pretending she's "pro-life."

[hifiguy]

17. Batshit's meannness, stoopidity and flat out ignorance can

only be measured in parsec-sized units. :puke:

[jillan]

19. And you Michelle are ruining Congress.

[gratuitous]

20. Yeah if the health care bill didn't save so much money

It'd be easy to repeal it; you just can't do it on grounds of fiscal responsibility. Going back to the old way would generate less revenue and cost more money. It would increase the deficit, which as we all know, is the Most Important Issue Facing the Country right now.

I wonder why Ms. Bachmann doesn't know this? Or why all the reporters currently panting after her on the not-campaigning trail don't inform her of this obvious fact? It's almost as if they want to mislead the public. Very odd.

21. Crazy-eyes Bachmann and those of her hypocrite teabagger ilk

Are NOT "pro-life" they are ONLY pro-fetus.

After a fetus "becomes" an infant, if its mother lacks the funds,insurance, and/or credit to pay for the birth and any complications arising from or after it, then both mother and/or infant can just drop dead upon the delivery room floor.
