This is not another "the sky is falling" diary. This is a we must wake up and get moving now action diary because we know what will they will do when the sky falls. It's that urgent.
If nothing else has scared you about the Republicans and their agenda, the latest comments from Michele Bachmann should be the biggest motivation as to why you should work to make sure the Republicans fail in their coup de Congress.
"I think that’s all we should do," Bachmann said at the GOP Youth Convention in Washington on Thursday. "I think all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that has gone on."
This comes one day after the introduction of the receptacle/trash can Tea Party Caucus press conference. The Tea Party Caucus that now has 40 members according to Bachmann
Here's the audio
Democrats stand up. Seriously, we can't get Karl Rove to testify in front of Congress. We cannot allow the Republicans to step all over us with their faux "freedom loving" agenda turned witch hunts.
The Republicans will shut down the government to focus on dog and pony hearings and investigations. Never mind that we are less than two years into cleaning up the mess created by the most corrupt deceitful administration in American history. Never mind that we just sat through the pillaging and the looting of the Haliburton Cheney Presidency.
America, this is what the Tea Party Caucus and its followers stand for and this is all of their agenda. They will not stop until the ruin the Democracy upon which this country has been created. Spending millions and millions of dollars on bogus investigations is not beyond their contract with the American people. Do not assume that they will not win enough seats in November. Work your rears off for the next four months and don't let them gain another yard.
This is not just the world according to Bachmann, the non-mouthpiece Tea Party Caucus now has roughly 40 members. Well that's another story because apparently some of those that have signed up have not really signed up. Just another Bachmann distortion. But hey, they probably still have 30 plus legitimate members of their illegitimate Tea Party Caucus. Regardless anytime there are calls or threats of violence from Tea Partiers, these members of the esteemed body of Congress have contributed to this climate of hate and intolerance. These members who will be leading the charge to hold investigations into the Obama Administration.
A who's who of those that are the wingnuttery and the birthers in Congress.
