"What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing," said Bachmann. "This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't pass."-- Michelle Bachmann referring to health care reform
Now keep in mind this isn't fringe lunatic wacko on the street talk. This is an actual elected Republican Member of Congress.
Last week Bachmann publicly thanked God that Sarah Palin lied about President Obama setting up death panels to kill old people. Bachmann also routinely calls the president a socialist and an enemy. There is no reason to let the Republican Party off the hook for this. Including people of their mindset in the national debate on health care would be a tragedy.
