At today’s “Kill the Bill” rally in Washington, Rep. Michele Bachmann again spoke out against the Democrats’ health care reform plans, saying that we’re “in the bottom of the ninth” and tea party activists have “won every inning.” But her colleague, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, didn’t sound so sure.
Dave Weigel, covering the event for the Washington Independent, got the rundown of the bill’s prospects. Bachmann colleague King weighed in on whether Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak had really rallied a dozen Democrats to vote against the reform bill.
“I can count one — Bart Stupak,” King said. “I can’t name number two. There’s eleven anonymous people and you can’t count anonymous votes. If you can’t count them, they’re not no votes. I think that’s something that should have been pressed much, much harder.”
Despite her bravado, Bachmann — who attended a similar “Kill the Bill” event in St. Paul on Saturday — wasn’t entirely confident that the bill would die: “I think it’s a flip of a coin right now whether it will pass or not.”

Dear Michelle,
I believe you move with the Hand of God.
I am 77 and alone,and drowning in NYC Socialism, soon to be Communism. Oh how I would love to be with a woman of your character.
Please run for President.
Sincerely, Joe Fierro

Keep it up Bachmann, somehow not everyone has figured out how loony you really are. Maybe your head will explode when the bill is passed and signed by President Obama.
Joe F, at 77, what medical insurance coverage do you have? You do realize that Medicare is a socialized medical insurance program, don’t you?
As whacked as Bachmann is, you will NEVER “be” with her. I have sympathy for you and your situation but perhaps you should check the mental health coverage provision in your Medicare. She moves with the hand of God? God is a hateful liar?
I do agree with you on one point – I also hope Bachmann runs for president… Obama is a weak corporate servant candidate and needs all the help he can get. But that’s an altogether different story.
