As a tea partier I think its idiotic to have it at the same time as Ryan’s. I hope it takes place afte Ryan so Bachmann can show where we stand with the GOP response but also where we feel its necessary to go further.
I agree. Poor planning.
I agree. Bachmann and Ryan don’t have divergent views. I’m glad that the TEA Party is offering it’s own response. One of the things about 0bama’s presidency that I like is that he has drawn the line of demarcation quite strongly. Dummycrats have to recognize that their party is now composed of Democrats and Marxists and decide what to do about that, and our representatives have got to decide whether they’re RINOs or Republicans and everybody knows that (s)he had better be on her/his best behavior through ‘12. This move to have Bachmann deliver her response, in addition to Ryan’s response, underscores that.
