Bachmann Challengers Maureen Reed, Tarryl Clark Share Plans To Take On Michele

The Daily Beast:

Michele Bachmann took her paranoid campaign against the White House to new heights on Thursday, leading a mass protest inside the Capitol itself that led to multiple arrests. Antics like these have made her one of the breakout stars of the Republican Party in the Obama era, drawing praise from Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and even George Will. But her stunts have also made what is otherwise a relatively safe Republican seat potentially vulnerable to Democratic takeover.

Her bid for re-election to a third term is still a year away. But two credible challengers have already emerged to vie for the Democratic nomination: physician Maureen Reed and State Senator Tarryl Clark. Both are making Bachmann's extremist rhetoric the centerpieces of their campaigns.

Yep. The cop arrested the wrong people Thursday.

[MichaelMcKLA]

It's time for the people of her district to show her the exit in unambiguous terms. If they do not, they will have convinced the rest of the country that they are as vacuous as she.

[SiberianRat]

I've never been to St. Cloud (although I love Minneapolis/St. Paul), but wouldn't GOPers there be mortified to have such a whackjob as their Rep?

[SailorBill]

It seems Stearns County, where St. Cloud is and MB reps, is known as the West Virginia of Minnesnota. Banjos everywhere.

[picval]

She doesnt rep the city of Minneapolis, But the Major Trama Hospital here in Minneapolis has lost 30 million from our Governor, the Govenor also cut 30,000 peoples insurance, HCMC( Hospital & Trama Unit) is looking at a 50 million loss!

Let her give up ALL HER BENIFITS! Lets see the Pied Piper lead with no health insurance. I sure hope Ida doesn't damage anything, I would hate these states to have to ask the Feds for Help!

[bazokbros]

If she couldn't be ousted with the amount of Obama supporters voting against her last election after her outrageous comments on Hardball, she is not going to lose her seat unfortunately anytime soon.

[LeighAnnes]

She has only been there two terms. She is hardly unbeatable.

[MRb1000]

The healthcare bill pasted and now she can get her long waited brain transplant!

[liberalOrgonian]

Who is acting unpatriotic now?
Who is being UN American?
Telling folks to arm up.
See the whites of their eyes.
These are war chants, Michele!
Your behavior is over the top, and you need to stand down.

Watching the HC debate on cspan
First a thoughtful comment, then freedom, government take over, freedom, freedom
then a interesting comment, then freedom, freedom, government take over.
Then a moral comment, then freedom, freedom, get between, government take over
It went like this for hours becoming satirical comity.
I started singing, freedom, freedom, government take over...

[liberalOrgonian]

I still want to see her birth certificate.

The woman is so dangerous, she could hurt herself.
She is inciting riots, encouraging misbehavior and has no respect for the government.
She hates government, while working in government?##!!?
What an embarrassment to her district.
Surely that district can find someone better suited for the job.

[DarcieRN]

Usually reptiles don't have birth certificat­es........­.they are hatched.

“In the Republican Party, there is a pretty broad area that is mainstream, and then there are the fringes of the party,” Clark told The Daily Beast. “And then there's Michele.”

That about says it all!..and then there's Michele! LMAO!

[atti]

Here's a little good, clean fun I'd enjoy: While calling out for investigations of others, Ms. Bat-guano crazy should be thoroughly exposed- you know, qualifications, like, how many hours she babysat and how many inpatient admissions she had before her "political career" - granted, perhaps knowing the number of ECT treatments she had may be excessive, but you get my gist.

[AZterritory]

I think you're right with the ECT, she could probably power half of the twin cities.

[colah]

While the Democratic party might make some gains in her district, it is doubtful that they can win. Her constituency is a group of SWOG`s that dream about boin king her & Sarah in some kind of Vlagra inspired Family Values Or gy.
The good news is by the time Obama finishes his second term 7 years from now, 21% of her supporters will be taking a well-deserved dirt nap.

[Blurp]

so crazy her Chief of Staff just quit because of it.

[norkas]

Michele is GREAT for the Republican party. and will help them a great deal with her creative ideas and her brillance. I am soooooooooooooooooo proud of Michele for standing up and speaking when at the same time i have NO clue to what the hell she is saying.


GOOOOOOOOOOO MICHELE

[norkas]

Michele words of wisdom just keep on giving. Rush. Beck, Hanity and others support her big time and should continue so so. When she speaks i feel like times stands still and i slap myself twice to make it start again. Please donate and give her the respect she deserves.

[GoombahsMama]

After Michelle Bachmann & the 39 dem/wits reps receive their pink slips file for unemployment, they can go on the road giving speeches thanking the dems for extended unemployment benefits food stamps & healthcare option since Michelle is a preexisting condition government healthcare will afford her psyche meds keeping the streets & public safer. Maybe the auto industry will offer Michelle and the 39 dems that voted “Nay” jobs working as crash test dummies; trade their bootstraps for lap straps, while Toby Keith sings, “How do you like me now”

[care4mypeeps]

How can we help these challengers along?

Which is the best candidate to win againts Michelle Bachman?

Give us all the details and let us work towards this cause.

[LoloZ]

They'll want $$$

[RJPasadena]

Donate to ActBlue....they help grass root candidates.

[Scar1]

Amen!! Put that fire in the hole! Fired up and ready to go!!! No more Bachmann!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!11
