While you're at it, why not just make the Constitution unconstitutional?
They are working on that!
The previous Administration basically did just that.
Reason #436 of why the GOP is locked in a d e a t h spiral.
Someone please send the black helicopters and ship her off to a FEMA internment camp.
Let loose the HAARP!
And let the re-educated youth corp use enhanced interrogation techniques to force her to tell us where Cheney's undisclosed bunker is located
Looney Tunes strikes again!
I'm wondering if Michelle and Sara were separated at birth?

12,021 people made a difference Rep. Bachmann - can you truely be that stupid to think that the Census doesn't matter? I predict that 2010 will be a very bad year for you - I will scrape together a few dollars each month to give to your opponent just to make sure that you won't be joining the 112th Congress.
Yet for the last several years, she was okay with "W" listening to her phone calls and watching her internet traffic.
I see...her idea makes perfect sense.
that is because Shrub was protecting us from all the "brown" people...so of course, in Bachman's mind, it made sense to shred the constitution and the bill of rights...afterall we were protecting America
Now that we have someone in power who looks "different" from most of her constituents.... it is time to destroy the country in order to save it
Don't you know, Bachman is the quintessential GOP, Palinite patriot
Dumb is forever... LOL.
Has Michelle Bachman been diagnosed yet? Is there something in the water in Minnesota? She should just be wearing a white coat all the time. Maybe democrats are putting something in her food that makes her act the way she does. Other Republicans have to realize how she sounds.
Dont blame the Demos! This one is looney all on her own! It seems there has been a right-wing looney factory working overtime for 20 years!
I noticed that she doesn't go on Hardball since Mathews put words in her mouth. I guess there wasn't room for words when she already had her foot in there.
Chris Matthews didn't put words in her mouth. He gave her a camera and let 'er go.
Michele, keep this up and you will be joing Glenn Be ck in one of those new fangled FEMA concentrati0n camps.
A re-internment camp?
Yes, because the CENSUS is the most important problem we have in the US. This woman is an i.d/iot.
Nice to see the Congresswoman has such a fine understanding of the Constitutional responsibilities.
Has she even read the document"? It really isn't that long. Nor is it that hard to understand. here is a hint Michelle 1, 2, 3.
But I would support her movement that wing nuts don't respond to the census. That should ensure a continued democratic majority in the United States for at least the next 10 years.
And maybe they can redistrict this fool out of a job.
Let's not count her, or her district. That might bring some reality to her thinking, or maybe not.
Productive idea.
why stop at her district...let not count those states that want to secede.....bust them back to territories while you are at it
fine with me!
Minnesota...... Dear dear Minnesota...... First Colman's antics now this continued craziness by michelle....... YOU have the power to strip these fools of speaking for you, representing you..... why can't you do something about it? Are you in some weird competition with Arizona and Connecticut for the stupidest people in Congress and your state governors? Rise up will you and put down this continued embarssment to your fine state. Lead the way to promote sane government officials. Ball's in your court PEOPLE.
Don't hold your breath! This is the state that in 1989 put up a sign underneath the "Welcome to Minnesota" sign at the MN/WI border that read "The Brainpower State." I kid you not.
The state bird is, after all, the Loon.
