Sorry, Bachmann is running for President not Speaker. And Palin isn’t running for anything right now...

sorry, no.

It's just a few of the important things that the government needs to fund that keep us from paying our military and social security recipients.

If Palin entered the race and won the first few caucuses and primaries, Michele could easily decide to quit and run for reelection instead. And of course there are always Congressional leaders picked after the election. With a Pubbie landslide, it could happen.

And now the plan is being re-written to get more conservative support.

I hope it is being re-written. Bonehead is showing that he is as intelligent as a box of rocks. In his 10 year BS we would probably increase the debt by trillions.

She claims to be the "Tea Party" Caucus leader so...

Where is Bachmann's debt plan?

So what it is one vote. If she wants to be a leader she would bring others with her. I thought she was going to get the tea party people to vote with her so far that has not happened.

Gee, does this mean she’s actually going to go back to DC and do her job?

You may think she's running for president, but it's obvious to most she's running to fund raise and get higher job out of Minnesota.

That's all she wrote folks, she's expanding her horizons and knows she can't win, but is running anyway.

It hasn't? From what I've heard Boehner is well-shy of the votes he needs to pass his can-kicking bill. I'd say, as head of the Tea Party Caucus, she is doing a fine job working with the new representatives we sent her way.

Where is her plan?..

No debt limit increase “IS” a balanced budget deal..
Except for the debt limit increase that has ALREADY happened..

A balanced budget amendment is ONLY way..
ONLY revenue can be spent.. ZERO deficits.. mandatory..

THEN a new taxing system needs to be installed..

Maybe Bambi may have to cut the umpteen thousands of government jobs the asswipe created. What a concept.
