Let me make that clear, the 25 bucks was for Tinklenberg!

I’m from out of state (IL) but I was utterly creeped out by that appearance on Hardball. This was clearly not a trick or gotcha interview. She wasn’t connived. She just kept talking and talking. In the middle of it, I was certain that she would wake the next day and wonder — much like a hangover — whether she had really ran her mouth off like that. Surely she would regret it. And perhaps she has.

I contributed 25 bucks over the weekend, after hearing that her opponent Tinklenberg was getting donations. What a great idea! Now, what to do about corrupt and slimey — unfortunately most of them Democratic — politicians in Illinois.

Bachmann is an embarrasment to the republican party, her constituency and the (once) great state of Minnesota.

In the 8 years since Paul Wellstone was killed it appears that Minnesota has been deluged by right wingers so hard right that most Americans could hardly recognize them. That is the only excuse I can find for this pathetic excuse for a ‘politician’ to have been voted in.

When I was in Montana I encountered a few guys who were in the Skinheads.
When I was in Florida I encountered a few people who were in the KKK.

These were the ONLY Americans I have ever met who espoused views even close to what M. Bachmann espoused. And all her current spinning, excuses and backpedalling won’t work. She meant exactly what she said. I don’t know if she picked up her political outlook from the KKK, or some Militia/Skinhead types, but her words confirm her connection to either/or.

However she developed her deluded, right wing, fanatical belief system – it has no place in a Democratic Republic and she shames our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our great Nation.

Wake up Minnesota – you have voted in a woman who would have been a comfortable element within Hitlers political forces.

Good, hopefully the increased cashflow will turn the tide. We have to get rid of Bachmann.

Well.. with the $700,000(est.) from Netroots support thus far and $1,000,000 the DCCC is spending on his behalf, am betting Wodele must feel like X-mass came early this year. Considering they last reported $356,000 as of Thursday, as I recall…. Why do visions of Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life keep springing in my head? Someone over at Minnesota Independent needs to write a book about this.
