Bachmann introduces bill to repeal health care reform

[sabra]

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN) – Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota, has introduced a bill to repeal Democrats' health care reform legislation, her office announced Monday.

President Obama and Democrats in Congress "have ignored the will of the people and have chosen to ram through their trillion-dollar health care bill despite the American people's overwhelming objection to it," Bachmann said in a written statement.

Despite the long odds of repeal, several prominent Republicans - including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor - have joined the chorus of those calling for the bill to be overturned.

Bachmann said "the American people won't ever forget the irresponsible actions of this Administration and Democratic Majority."

1. Ahahahahahaha

You fail, Crazy Eyes...you fail.

[hamsterjill]

63. Her eyes do look crazy, don't they???!!!

There is something "off" about them.

And then, of course, she opens her mouth...

[Dawgs]

2. She's right that the American people won't ever forget.

Probably the same way they haven't forgotten about social security and Medicare.

[BeyondGeography]

3. How original

:silly:

[Joey Kidd]

4. Can someone introduce a bill...

to send her to Antarctica ?

[Warpy]

15. Oh, just retire her to a beachfront condo in Florida

It's sinking.

[Roland99]

20. HELL NO! We don't want that scary ***** down here!

[Warpy]

49. Think about those 90% empty, ticky tacky condos in Miami

hastily slapped together from hotels that have been crumbling since the 50s, right on the disappearing beach and staring at hurricane season.

I think it's perfect for her.

[Roland99]

53. I think a grass hut in the Everglades surrounded by alligators is more fitting

[wordpix]

55. preferably she can live on the alien Burmese pythons & monitor lizards

We need to get rid of them and maybe she'll find a new cause.

[Joey Kidd]

56. Lol !

I wonder if any alligator would enjoy eating that awful stringy Botox laced meat.

[LeftishBrit]

61. No - not with Florida's super-close elections; one more nut could make a difference there!

Send her somewhere where everyone is RW already.

Or send her for some health care in the form of a brain transplant!

[Zoeisright]

22. Well, if her stupid constituents ignore the Census like she asked them to,

we won't have to worry about her anymore after 2010, because there's a good chance her seat will be eliminated due to Minnesota's population shrinking.

[Golden Raisin]

38. Cruelty to penguins!

[Loge23]

5. My simple request regarding Bachmann

Can someone please make a Bobblehead doll out of her?
This way, whenever she dispenses with another turd of wisdom, we can just tap on her little head.

[onehandle]

6. A batshit crazy 'Representative' says what? nt

[truthisfreedom]

7. I love the irony of "Democratic majority". Bachmann, it's "Democrat majority. " You've gone soft.

[4lbs]

8. Didn't they try something similar last night?

The quick vote that was between the Senate bill vote (219 passed) and the Reconciliation vote (220 passed) was the Repukes' attempt to scrap and start from scratch.

It failed. There were about 230 no votes.

[kestrel91316]

9. Can't repeal it. It hasn't been signed, and the reconciliation bill hasn't been either.

[RKP5637]

10. Quite Strange Person IMO. n/t

[LeftishBrit]

12. That is the understatement of the millennium. (nt)

[RKP5637]

16. Yeah, probably a complement just calling her that... Words almost fail to

describe her...

[RKP5637]

27. What scares me worse than her are the people that actually vote her in... frightening... n/t

[karynnj]

11. Where does she think she will get 67 Senators and 2/3rds of the House

to override Obama's veto. Not to mention, Nancy Pelosi will not let this near the calendar.

What delusional showboating. How does Mitt explain that he signed MA's law in.

[Incitatus]

43. She won't and she knows it, but I bet this gets her some campaign donations. nt

[24601]

51. You don't need Representatives & Senators if you have 5 Justices.

It all comes down to Justice Kennedy.

[felinetta]

13. Oh boy, we should be hearing a lot of bat crap crazy from her!

[high density]

14. A year of debate doesn't feel like "ramming through"

Things that are rammed do not take this long.

[Blue Owl]

17. Let's repeal her farm subsidy then

I've noticed she conveniently forgets to mention the thousands of dollars she annually receives from gubmint.

[RKP5637]

19. We've got a RW senator here that has the same deal... n/t

[Plucketeer]

30. I'm for that!

And while we're at it, let's see her doff her PUBLIC insurance program the taxpayers provide! MB->:crazy:

[JBoy]

18. Lots of GOP little punk staffers are busy wasting time crafting this going-nowhere legislation.

[Bitwit1234]

21. And just how far does she think that will go in this congress

They had a big write up about the two democrats who are going to run in the primary trying to get a chance to beat this idiot. I hope that which ever one gets the win who runs against her wins and she is out the door and forgotten by every one. Remember Katherine Harris, the nut who helped give bush Florida. Well after they used her she was pushed out the door. And has anybody heard anything from her in the last eight years.

[RKP5637]

32. Katherine Harris gone is good!!! I wrote a letter of protest once about her

actions to her office, so they stuck me on her newsletter email list. Like I gave a damn about her career/future/ideas, etc. Man are some R's dumb.

[LaPera]

23. Republicans have to pretend they have power to their sheep-They DON'T - and can't do shit about it!

And what polls are Bachmann and the republicans always referring to and are never called out on by the complacent corporate media as the republicans always use the lies that "the American people's overwhelming objection to health care reform"?

Complete bullshit!

Every major poll shows Americans are in favor of health care reform, especially the Public Option which consistently polls from 62% to 68% in favor of the Public Option!

And the Democrats will absolutely continue to hold majorities in in both Houses of congress after the November's elections!!

[Patsy Stone]

24. Brilliant!

I double dog dare her to try and repeal this once it's passed.

Did she draw the short straw among the Republican nutbags, or is she having a Walt Starr-like career suicide moment?

[mac56]

25. She is the GOP's rodeo clown.

Doing and saying stupid stuff to distract attention.

I live a few miles from her district, and there's considerable discontent growing toward her.

[RKP5637]

29. That's good to hear. I've been concerned about people that actually vote someone like that in. nt

[Grassy Knoll]

26. American people's overwhelming objection to it........

You mean your astroturf shouting assholes and the froth dicks army group created ?
We beat you at your own game , caca head.

[SoapBox]

28. This FREAK just makes my blood BOIL!

Grrrrr....

OH how I want to get IN HER FACE!

Anyone else?

[RKP5637]

34. Sometimes people like this are so opinionated and dense you can't phase them. I find

many RW'ers are a bit deranged, all feedback rolls off them. Now I think it's possibly genetically inherited, a trait, an inability to be rational, compromising and logical. And all ME ME ME.

[AlbertCat]

31. "the American people won't ever forget the irresponsible actions of this Administration ...

But I bet they remember the irresponsibility of the LAST administration (and repugs to this day!) first. 9/11 is waaaaay easier to remember than this bill.

[Beetwasher]

33. Oh Goody! I Sure Do Hope They Really DO Run On This!!!

:rofl:

[AsahinaKimi]

35. oh this is rich...

Michelle maybe you should hire ORLY TAITZ to help you!!!
:rofl:

[bowens43]

36. she's the idiot's idiot...........

[Old Codger]

37. LOL

she needs to get dear orly taint to give her a hand with these things, this one isn't quite stupid enough, I am sure the two of them can do better....

[MineralMan]

39. Well, the Minnesota people are going to vote on her

retirement in November. She's toast.

She can go back to doing some sort of family counseling with her hubby or something, perhaps. Minnesotans are tired of having a buffoon representing them, I'm pretty darned sure. I know I am, and I'll be precinct walking in her district soon, even though I don't live in it. Lots of others will be doing the same.

[CLANG]

40. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess...

[CLANG]

41. Projection and wishful (magical) thinking...

Bachmann said "the American people won't ever forget the irresponsible actions of this Administration and Democratic Majority."

[MineralMan]

42. When are they going to introduce an action figure of her.

My Jesse Ventura action figure is getting pretty tired of the Ann Coulter action figure that's bending over in front of him on my mantle. Change is good, and that's a change I can believe in.

[husky92]

44. Vote Her Ass Out of Office

Is Michelle Bachmann the dumbest SOB going or what. Day after day she keeps inserting her foot in her mouth shortly after pulling her head out of her ass. Every day it's another bizarre charge or idea. Who the hell are the nitwits that voted her into office? That is my question. Are the people in her district in Minnesota that stupid. (Don't answer that!).

She should just go away. Unfortunately, the boys at Fixed Noise give her a forum to spew her shit. I'd love to see her go on a real news show where she would be challenged by someone instead of those nodding heads at Fox. When she says the American people are all against this where is she getting her facts? From Fox News!

Sure the numbers aren't highly popular, but remember, many of those disappointed are progressives who wanted more. It's not all those Tea Party schleps!

[Jim__]

45. It shouldn't even make it out of committee. - n/t

[Akoto]

46. Theater, nothing more.

She's well aware that she has no chance of getting the votes required for a repeal.

[bamacrat]

47. Please Minnesotans vote this crazy ass lady out.

[Hawkeye-X]

48. Bachmann needs to be thrown out on her ass.

Period.

[brooklynite]

50. Repeat after me..."Michele Bachmann wants to RAISE TAXES"!

After all, in Republican orthodoxy, eliminating a tax cut or credit is the same as a tax hike. She wants to get rid of a LAW that gives credits now for Medicare Part D and in the future for Health Insurance. So, she wants to raise taxes on millions of Americans. That simple message shhould be in every campaign ad against her.

[sakabatou]

52. Can someone bring in a bill that every time a Repub is being a hypocrite

a loud buzzer sounds? Maybe that's not a good idea since it'd go off every time they'd open their mouths.

[WeekendWarrior]

54. OH MY GOD!!!!

What if this passes and Obama signs it?????? We're doomed!

[classysassy]

57. America

has spawned some real fools since its founding,but few have matched the lady from the gopher state.

[CBHagman]

58. What? Sixty years is too soon?

"Ram through." We're decades behind all the other industrialized countries and genius here says voting on a bill after a hundred years of health care reform discussion is somehow ramming it through.

:eyes:

I'm sorry, but there should be mandatory urine tests for anyone voting in Bachmann's district. I want to know what mind-altering drugs inspired her election...

[applegrove]

59. She's one who is definitely going to hell.

[Hepburn]

60. What a fucking idiot...

...let's say on the off chance the bill passes...both houses...

Obama has gotta sign it to make it effective. And that would happen when hell freezes over!

:rofl:

[LeftishBrit]

62. What a lunatic

President Obama and Democrats in Congress "have ignored the will of the people and have chosen to ram through their trillion-dollar health care bill despite the American people's overwhelming objection to it," Bachmann said in a written statement.

'Overwhelming objection' - then why did the Americans VOTE FOR a Democratic president and Congress? Seems like maybe that *was* the will of the people!

'Ram through a healthcare bill' - wow, yes, they only took a little more than 60 years to produce legislation that STILL doesn't go nearly as far as that in the UK or most countries in Europe. If that's 'ramming things through', then I've seen snails winning a sprint!

Who votes for her?
