On the Jason Lewis Show, Bachmann incites listeners to break the law.

1. Let's See...

Congress defines what is legal through the passing of laws. And this Congresswoman says we should start using all manner of illegal activity. As I see it, according to Bachmann, Congress serves no purpose other than to pass bad laws and must be circumvented. And if Congress is an obstacle, it's members should be summarily defeated at the polls. O.K. Let's start with this one!

2. Buchmann is crazy

This is the same women that's #10 in TOP 10 IDIOTS this week that proposed a bill giving people a choice between buying old-energy draining light bulbs if they wanted over more efficient fluorescent bulbs, you have to check it out ...

Faced with this kind of monumental stupidity even Gods wither.

It just sucks the air right out of you ... to think a person could live to adulthood, attended college, do business and socialize with titans of industry and roam corridors of power and be so incredibly stupid rips depth within and freezes the very core of one's soul.

To think she spent time even thinking about this, not discarding it immediately, but rather went through all the trouble of writing it down, and THEN proposing it in a public forum without it being presented as an elaborate April Fools Joke is simply stunning.

Does Rep. Buchmann really believe what she's proposing? Is there a light-bulb factory in her district? According to her bio she started out as a Democrat working for Carter, did that have something to do with it? How many more insane people are running around playing Representative? There must be quite a few considering they didn't laugh this women out of Washington right after she proposed this tripe.

How does one expect our government to handle complex issues dealing with interactions between business, local and global environment, geopolitical dimensions effecting industry and humane rights when they apparently don't have an intellectual capacity of a luge-wrench? And what does it say about us as a people that a person with logic of a pimple claims a title as a "representative" of us?

I'm now going to load my gun ...

3. This quote sounds like it is taken out of context. As in

"the tax laws are so crazy "we/the tax laws" encourage people to do illegal activities. Not that she herself encourages the practice.

You need to post the entire quote in context to give a fair reading of the situation.

Agree with her or not.

6. Clearly what she appears to be saying

The maker of this clip appears to have intentionally misrepresented her statement.

Lights on, nobody's home...

5. This bitch is giddy. Come on MN.....send her shopping or something.

I can't believe such idiots are elected to Congress. I've already been convinced that we send idiots to the White House, but this is something new.

8. Very dishonest clip at best.

There is no there, there.

9. This is the worst edit job I have seen. You must be desperate to make some point.

There are more than enough REAL videos out there to show how she thinks without having to stoop to this.
