Former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann on Sunday defended the tea party movement, saying that it had "been only a force for good."

"The [Republican] Party has changed so much for the better," Bachmann told CBS host Bob Schieffer. "The tea party has infused the energy and excitement. And really, it's bringing the Republican Party back to its basic values, which is limited government, cutting spending, being smart, and making the government more efficient."

"Has the tea party made compromise a dirty word?" Schieffer wondered. "And is that why Congress can't seem to get anything done?"

"Not at all!" Bachmann replied. "The tea party has been only a force for good in Washington, D.C., because otherwise we continue to go farther and farther to the left, which is redistribution of wealth. That's why [President Barack Obama] will be a one-termer, because all he has been about is redistribution of wealth and the rise of socialist principles, and the Tea Party rejects that."

..Tea Party may have been a force for good in that it mainstreamed political protests before the arrival of Occupy Wall Street.

So gratitude is offered, Tea Party.

If you hadn't set the parameters by raising hell in behalf of the 1%, it's doubtful OWS would have been so successful raising hell in behalf of the 99%.


When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.

figure out they were done in by a male chauvinist plot?

Bachmann, Angle, ODonnell, Palin....all dismissed and dumped aside because they were just pretty faces to be exploited then cast aside by ugly old men when they demanded equality. Much like a Gingrich wife.

Michele Bachmann - the latest chief clown in the long history of the clown show known as the House of Representatives.


Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
