Rep. Michele Bachmann will be in Iowa next month, headlining the third annual Defenders of Freedom event organized by fellow Republican Rep. Steve King.
“Together Michele and I have led the charge in the U.S. House to fight the Obama/Pelosi/Reid health care nightmare,” King said in a statement. “It was her idea that sparked our ‘Declaration of Health Care Independence’ and I am proud to call her a friend, ally in the conservative cause and fellow warrior in the culture war.”
Bachmann and King have formed a close relationship, with Bachmann going so far as to float King’s name as a potential presidential candidate in 2012. In fact, on five occasions Bachmann has referred to King as “stunning.” Back in 2008, King’s press secretary, Brandon Lerch, left the congressman’s office to run Bachmann’s re-election campaign.
The two were also featured speakers Tuesday morning at a pair of anti-health care bill rallies held in Washington, D.C., and organized by multiple Tea Party groups.
Bachmann will keynote King’s event April 10 in Sergeant Bluff.

Let’s make it mandatory that you have to pass an intelligence test to get back into MN. Then that idiot will be Iowa’s problem rather than ours.

Hey, now! Having grown up in what has become King’s district, we were counting on Bachmann taking him home with her so he could be Minnesota’s problem rather than ours!
(Listen, Minnesota— if we work together, maybe we can get Texas to take both of them. They’d be happier there, wouldn’t they? They could run and play and chase bunnies.)

Close the border after she’s left the state!

Census forms are coming out. Wonder if the Representative from the Mn 6th has complied with federal law by completing and returning her census form?

No wonder she hasn’t written and/or introduced any bills into the House of Representatives this far into her second term and refers to herself as a “freshman” representative. Other issues are more important to her.

Michele Bachmann and Steve King are a match made in hell. They deserve one another. It’s a wonder they can muster the sense to feed and dress themselves.
