I'm sure she thought that including Obamacare in the bill was bridge too far, but not to mention it at all must have got her goat.
She wants to stick it to Obama at every opportunity, and IMHO that's what the people want and why she's moving up.
Bachmann is one of the few (besides talk radio) who is keeping Obamacare in the spotlight. I don’t think Boehner or DeMint are losing sleep over her no vote.
It does nothing to keep that idea in the fore; instead, it just muddies the waters. If she were really true to herself and what she believes in, she should have refused to sign this pledge. And yes, it truly is as simple as that.
No, her vote didn't change the outcome, but the pledge thing DID make her look irrational at best.
Yes, people want Obama bested and continually stuck in the eye, but this is NOT how to do it; not by a long shot. Only us news/political junkies will ever know about it. And it can be used against her, which is a bad thing.
