Can we quit with the "un-American" bit?

This has got to stop. Seriously.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."

You can disagree with his policies. You can even think those policies take the country in the wrong direction. But calling him anti-American makes you look like a nut job and only adds to fear mongering and hatred. This is why old ladies think Obama can't be trusted because he's an Arab.

Republicans no longer exist.

Republicans no longer exist. Republicans were about small government and fiscal responsibility. The group calling themselves now are neocons and have NOTHING do to with the party Licoln represented so long ago. That's why I switched sides to the Democrats.

She is an idiot and she gets

She is an idiot and she gets what she deserves. This very statement is completely anti-American itself. Looks like she screwed herself anyway and we probably won't be hearing much from her in the future.

"Immediately, money began flowing to the campaign of her main opponent on Nov. 4, Elwyn Tinklenberg, who has both DFL and Independence Party endorsement, as well as at least $800,000 in campaign contributions he didn't have before Bachmann pulled her early Halloween "Fright Night" on MSNBC."
