Yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) filed paperwork to start a House Tea Party Caucus in the current 111th Congress. Possibly taking a cue from Kentucky Senate GOP hopeful and fellow Tea Partier Rand Paul, who recently said he might start a similar caucus in the Senate if he were elected, Bachmann sent a letter to the Committee on House Administration in an effort to “formaliz the movement within the federal government.” The letter read:

I would like to register the House Tea Party Caucus as a Congressional Member Organization for the 111th Congress. The House Tea Party Caucus will serve as an informal group of Members dedicated to promote American’s call for fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government. Presently, I will serve as the chair of the House Tea Party Caucus.

This may be Bachmann’s first step towards overthrowing the GOP leadership with “constitutional conservatives.”

1. Batshit loons got a caucus? Who knew?

Even Dick Fucking Armey is trying to distance the Frankenstein's monster of a 'movement' he helped bankroll away from the GOOPer party power apparatus. Reap the whirlwind, motherfuckers! I hope the teabaggers play hob with your nefarious plans for years to come.

3. Fiscal Responsibility, Adherence to the Constitution, and Limited Government?

Excuse me, but was Rip Van Bachmann paying ANY attention to what was going on between the years 2000-2008?

:crazy:

4. The new Caucus already has its Mission Statement . . .

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
