Did you look at #68?
Rep. Bachus lashed out against Palin and the Tea Party on November 4th while speaking to the South Shelby (Ala.) Chamber of Commerce. “The Senate would be Republican today except for states (in which Gov. Palin endorsed candidates) like Christine O’Donnell in Delaware,” Bachus said. “Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate.” He went on to say that Tea Party candidates did well in U.S. House races, but in the U.S. Senate races, “they didn’t do well at all.” Bachus is mistaken in his attempts to place blame. In fact, it is the very policies he champions that cost the GOP its chance to win control of the Senate.
I do not know about Bacchus’ political strategy IQ - sounds like he has a pretty low one. My knowledge of Bacchus is on economic issues from watching him debate liberals on CNBC and in that context, he’s very good. Too bad he’s a crook and out of touch with the tea party.
Wait, what?! If that's the case, shouldn't Bachus be receiving a medal? Based on the writings of many on FR, I would think he'd get a ticker-tape parade.
