Michele Bachmann Crashes, Burns, and Takes The Republican Party Down With Her
By claiming that Obamacare would literally kill people, and then calling Medicaid a ghetto, Michele Bachmann is destroying herself and the Republican Party.

Bachmann said, Thats why were here because were saying lets repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. Lets not do that. Lets love people, lets care about people. Lets repeal it now while we can. Later, Bachmann came back to the House floor to pile on to the destruction, Heres the one that no American wants to be in. Its the Medicaid ghetto, she said. And thats where the lowest possible care, where very few doctors will be available available to offer this kind of care.
Many have focused on Bachmann returning to form by saying things that are crazy, but there is a much bigger fish frying. Michele Bachmanns latest right wing episode has done major damage to the RNCs efforts to fix their party. Just a few days ago, the talk was centered on the RNCs autopsy report on how they lost the 2012 election. The discussion was centered on how Republicans could repair their party. Three days later, Michele Bachmanns rant has firmly placed the Republican Party back on the same path that it was before.
When Michele Bachmann uncorks a rant about Obamacare, Medicaid, or Benghazi she confirms the widely held belief that the Republican Party is completely out of step with the rest of the country. Bachmann comments will get all the headlines, and she makes all Republicans look crazy.

If Bachman cared about the country, or about the republican party, or anything other than herself and her rich backers, it would make a difference. Too many crazy, ignorant, mean people vote.
