By your logic,,, Bachmann should just be good and do what the repub leaders say. The establishment repubs are showing clear intent to give tea the finger. TEA will return the favor next election if they don’t get the message.
Your beloved reps better wake up,,,, fast.
Rep. Bachmann can do whatever she wants. I just refuse to participate in the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on because she's trying to work outside the system, and yet people expect the system to play along.
Contrast to Gov Palin, for example, who works outside the system and has figured out how to work around it. Or Gov. Christie, who manages to work within the system and still be a "loose cannon".
If TPX and Rep. Bachmann want to buck the established order, then they need a better game plan to deal with the consequence than whining about being ignored.
