Two of the nastiest Republicans in the House, now in serious trouble. Hu-freaking-rray. Here's the latest on Bachmann, and here's Musgrave.

A lot of folks have already raised nearly a million for Bachmann's opponent, after she accused the entire United States Congress of being un-American and called for a witchhunt, so we're focusing our energies on Musgrave's opponent, Betsy Markey. Markey is halfway towards our goal of raising her $15,000 - you can give to her via this link. And she's running against crazy Marilyn Musgrave, the woman who introduced the anti-gay Federal Marriage Amendment (the one that ads a gay marriage ban to the US Constitution) in the House.

Musgrave is the religious right's number one puppet in the House. Musgrave thinks that banning gays in the US Constitution is the number one issue America faces today. Uh huh. I don't recall my relationships having a role in Iraq or the crash of the stock market. Here's what Musgrave told the Family Research Council's "Values Voters Summit" (you can watch the video via that link too):
when I was in the last weeks of my last campaign, you know what I was thinking? Where’s our side? What are they doing? And I believe that when you’re in a cultural war like this, you have to respond with equal and hopefully greater force if you want to win this battle. But this battle is the most important issue that we face today, and what an honor it has been to serve in the United States Congress and carry the Marriage Amendment.

1. Oh, knocking down that 7-10 split would be sweet. nt

2. The DNC began running a great anti-Bachman ad Tuesday....

It quotes her saying the current economic crisis was caused by "hyper-regulation." That's right: too much regulation. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Tinklenberg started running ads the same day (I am assuming he is using the funds Bachman steered his way). Add to that the fact that her primary opponent has jumped back in the race as a write-in candidate and things are looking grim for the so-to-be unemployed Bachman.

3. Good! I hope this is bad news for Prop 8 too! n/t
