The League of Conservation Voters announced Wednesday that it will work to defeat Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) this year.
The group named Bachmann to its “Dirty Dozen” list of targets for the 2010 cycle, but with a twist – LCV said she won 60 percent in an online vote LCV hosted to select a “people’s choice” addition to the list.
“Representative Bachmann’s landslide win as the ‘People’s Choice’ clearly shows voters are fed up with her over-the-top, anti-science rhetoric in which she continually parrots the talking points of Big Oil and other corporate polluters,” said Tony Massaro, LCV’s senior vice president for political affairs, in a statement.
The group criticized Bachmann for voting against climate and energy legislation the House approved last year. LCV also cited several Bachmann statements on environmental issues, such as her pronouncement that global warming is “voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”
The Hill’s Race Ratings list Bachmann’s seat as “lean Republican.” Bachmann will likely face Minnesota state Sen. Tarryl Clark or Dr. Maureen Reed in November.

So have the minnesota windmills thawed out enough to turn yet?
I think Michelle needs a series MONEY BOMB!
LOL
By the time BO gets done they will not be thinking about the environment.
Sounds as though the League of Constipated Voters are afraid of all their free money drying up. Jobs are tough to find these days.
I agree. The money will flow into Michele’s campaign if need be to ward off the liberal twits.
“global warming is “voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”
****
Yes. And?
If got some bad news for these enviroloonies. Down here where the rubber meets the road, I’m starting to sense a “year of the female conservative voter”. The loony left’s constant attacks on Sarah Palin are about to come back and bite them on the ass. Take that to the bank.
Washington has been run by environuts for years. To Hell with these people, they won’t take half a loaf when it’s offered to them. A gang of petty totalitarians.
The truth is a "provocative comment".
The winds of change are definitely blowin.
Here in Michigan we’re looking at at least two likely GOP house seat pickups and the governor’s mansion. Now the rumor is that former governor John Engler is considering running for Debbie Stabenow’s senate seat.
Not as long as her opponents keep splitting the vote and making it a three way race. She only got 46.4% of the vote last time and still beat her nearest opponent by 3 points.
Heh heh heh. My apolitical wife is highly PO’d right now about the way things are going in this country. Not “lookin’ good” for the ‘RATS.
And that was in a terrrible year of GOPers. She’ll crush the marxist the dems put up this time.
Probably. The first re-election campaign is always the hardest. After that incumbency becomes more of an asset.
She’s a tax lawyer. I dont expect her to have the same mastery of science as a scientist. The eminences of the Supreme Court are remarkably clueless about science too.
Michele has a great voting record, that’s what matters.
Don’t forget the RNC abandoned her as well, after some un-PC comments on Chrissy Matthews show.
The biggest con men alive today are the so-called scientists. I have more mastery than 98% of these left wing a**holes and I’m only an elec. engineer.
I really am hoping Engler runs for the senate seat. I just wish it was this year but a popular former governor would give Stabenow a real run for her money.
