BREAKING: Michelle Bachmann Opposes Boehner Plan

[tpsbmam]

Staff in Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) congressional office tells ThinkProgress that Bachmann opposes the plan: “I can say that the congresswoman is standing firm opposing the Boehner plan.”

That's all ThinkProgress had.


I suspect it's because this POS wants the default option.

1. boy - wouldn't she make a great president/

as responsible as she is and all.
"Bills? Fuck 'em. I ain't paying them."

[William769]

2. Anything with a boner Michelle Bachmann will oppose.

[arbusto_baboso]

4. Well, of course.

That's why she's a beard.

Whoah. Did I actually post that? Shame on me...

[tridim]

3. Does she support anything except shunning gays?

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Why, yes. She support curing gays.

I guess it coincides with scientific creationism and global warming denial.

[tridim]

7. True, I guess she made an exception for her husband.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. She voted against Cut Cap and Balance because it didn't go far enough with SS

and other "entitlements"

[MadMaddie]

8. She has already said the Debt Ceiling was no big deal

When it happens we need to wrap this albatross around all of the Repugs necks with the video...

[WilliamPitt]

9. Well

She's missed 40% of the House votes since starting her presidential run, so this is probably just grandstanding.

Boehner will go down in history as the most gelded House Speaker of our time.

10. Office pool: How much longer will Boehner last as Speaker?

[gratuitous]

11. For the House to pass ANYTHING, they're going to need Democratic votes

Because the Tea Baggers reflexively oppose everything, and there are enough of these lemmings to deny the Republicans a working majority in the House, anything Boehner wants to get out of the House MUST receive votes from Democrats. Now, you would think that needing Democratic votes, Boehner and his minions would be trying to make nice with the House Democrats, and lock up a few of their votes. Naturally, there's a price to be paid, but considering how inept the Democrats are in negotiating ("You want my birthright for a bowl of soup? Sure!"), it probably wouldn't be too steep. As such, you might expect Boehner to include the Democrats in his planning.

You would be wrong.

12. I'm sure that is because

she has said she will NOT vot to increase the debt limit under any circumstances.

But - in a Michele Bachmann White House there will be no telepropters, so we will save money there, right? How could we go wrong???
