Anti-Sense.
Amazing thing is that she is not standing up to ACTUAL threats ad intrusions into privacy...just the perceived fringe intrusions. Next up: a bill to end unwanted alien probing.
I'm wondering what the heck happened to co-sponsor Ted Poe? Maybe I wasn't paying attention all these years, but I don't remember him being that whacko as a judge (in Houston)? Or is he just missing being on the news on a regualr basis, so he hitched his wagon to a sure-fire attention getter?
And I still say it's her thyroid.
Are we sure that's not Kristen Wiig from SNL pulling a gag?
SNL could do a whole season of Bachmann's antics. Bachmann's a huge joke of a politician.
Her legislative initiative will go about as far as her brain power or intelligence will allow -- not very far at all.
Honestly, she really looks like a clown.
Anyway. I don't understand the point of her rejecting the census. It seems they are overwhelmingly paranoid about the numbers of people registering in urban areas -- look at the fabricated controversy about Acorn.
The only reason I could see her wanting this is because the numbers of people identifying themselves as Republican have taken a complete nosedive, or she is hoping to stuff ballot boxes which would be obvious when the number of votes exceed the number of voters in a district.
someone please turn that b**** off...
Oh no..Let her keep doing what she's doing. She gets cr.a.zier by the minute and that will someday be one more House seat up for the taking.
Not soon enough.
I blame our schools for these kinds of poor under-educated folks.
she needs another layer of tinfoil in her hat.
and less crystal meth
That's what I was thinking...
she needs a tinfoil headband. hats don't work......,
Is it just me or does the full frame of that photo look like it was taken from iStockPhoto, Getty or one of the other stock photo sites and cotained the tags: "crazed" and "politicians".
Unbelievable.
Someone needs to let her know that there are medications that can help with paranoia. It's pretty clear to me that she needs professional help. Why, oh, why, do we elect so many politicians like this?!!!
Aaaannd naturally another Texas politician dives into this lunacy too. They just can't help themselves.
"The bill would reduce the response to the survey to four questions: Name, contact information, date of response, and number of people living or staying at the same address."
OK Michelle, don't get your knickers in a twist. Just go to http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/Questions_Planned_for_the_2010_Census_and_American_Community_Survey.pdf and you can see the questions proposed and why. You can also see questions asked in the past since 1790.
I think you have provided more information than this on your Facebook page.
you assuming the individuals who can't get their heads around the notion "information is how you plan things" are not just interested promoting the usual anti "big" govenment bull they always do..
the goooovement is after my grandpappy flintlock crowd will never get over who they lost too in 2008.....and this is just one more stupid "issue" to make noise about.
I'm also not convinced the hardcore anti census types can even read.
Lost when she talks...
Anyone knows her intent?
to be on limelight?
Why do I start whistling the theme music from "Looney Tunes" whenever I see her?
