Obviously I knew you didn’t mean it literally. Congressman Bachmann has not moved beyond “mere” representative as long as she pockets that taxpayer paycheck, and uses that office, staff, and status to leverage her way into another government position.
Real Americans recognize when a career politician is hedging their bets. Let’s leave that detestable mode of operation to the Kerrys, McCains, Hilarys, and Obamas that populate this depressingly cheap era of our nation’s political life.
That’s a different issue than people stating that because Bachmann is “just a Congress member,” she has no experience, can’t win, blah blah blah.
