Teabaggers
turn on Bat-shit
Bachmann in trouble for backing
Blunt in MO
Tea party groups in Missouri are
furious that national tea party icon, Rep. Michele Bachmann, endorsed
the
strong frontrunner for the Senate nomination Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO).
Bachmann will join Blunt for a fundraiser
and to make campaign calls in his St. Louis headquarters Saturday.
Given that Bachmann has emerged as a tea party hero and formed the
brand-new Tea Party Caucus in Congress,
the groups said "we were shocked" that she is backing Blunt since he
voted for the TARP bailout funds and "Cash for Clunkers."
"We believe she has been grossly misled if she understands him to be a
Missouri Tea Party candidate," read a
statement issued by 38 groups from the Show Me state, claiming to
represent more than 8,660 activists.
The statement came with a list of the groups, noting they have "NOT"
endorsed Blunt.
This is the biggest problem they
face and I've said it from the start.
You can't be a Teabagger AND a Republican.
The closest thing the TBs have to a leader is Palin and
Bachmann and Beck and the Pigboy and they're
going to stick with the good-old GOP boys in every election so where
does that leave the poor idiot Teabagger?
Teabaggers being anti-incumbent in the primaries is a
gift from baby Jesus.
It may also be the only thing that saves us in November.
