pardon the cliche but it's like nails across a chalkboard. She's the early favorite to the chief wingnut out this crew elected tonight.

And the problem is, the voters of Iowa are stuck with this psychotic woman for the next six years, at least.

One Michelle Bachman leaves and another arrives to wreck havoc in the senate.
Best government money can buy.
I so much wanted to see this woman lose.
I have seen this type of woman in my years of attending church and they are disgusting.
They look you in the eye and lie to your face everytime!!

Less representation and more oppression.

Stand clear of the RWNJ firing squads that are sure to be rounding people up.

perpetual war, higher health care costs and lower wages.

Really? Did that many Dems just sit on their hands? Or did Pukes nationwide really rig the systems this much.

Branstand and his cronies will turn this state into a third world shit hole if they have their way. And where I am in Iowa we not only lost our representation in the Senate but the House as well.

incoherent rambling. Same pattern Reagan had in last two years. It might seem cruel to say it, but if it isn't onset of dementia, it is something similar.

Whatever it is, it isn't normal. It will be very hard for her to hide her affliction. It's hard to imagine her serving her full term.
