I don't think she's typical of the Right wing at all. I think she's an outlier. And I thank whatever deity for that every day. If she were truly representative, we'd be in a world of hurt in this country -- even more so than we currently are.
She is VERY typical of righties, "smaller government" to them means taking away from those most in need and giving to the wealthiest..... sending American troops to be killed and mutilated and then screwing them when they return ( I haven't heard ONE objection from any Repug on cutting funds for Veterans)....
but whatever she is she gets LOTS of money from states other than Minnesota and from other countries, she raised more money than any other Representative in the last election.....somebody is backing this "person" and money means everything...
There are a lot of intelligent Republican women who currently hold office and are enjoying a long career. It would be nice if any one of them would speak out after they hear something this ridiculously stupid and proclaim it as ridiculously stupid. If these nutjobs like Bachmann and Palin got shot down by the women in their own party often enough, perhaps eventually their supporters would see them for the morons they are and start looking for actual smart women to represent them instead of idiotic big-mouth attention hos.
The usual rant from the party of choice. If anyone has an opinion different then theirs, they need to be silenced. ANY position not inline with yours is stupid and they are nutjobs and morons. And you call yourseves intelligent when all you can do is call people names as if you are on the schoolyard. And you want the rest of us to take YOU serious. ain't gonna happen.

She's definitely Right wing. Very much so.
Those people on the extreme Right aren't really conservatives though, so it would be unfair to paint them all with Bachmann's fascist brush.
She's one of those authoritarian wackos. And she's not alone. The GOP will long regret its accomodation of these idiots in the party.
And frankly, some of them are fine with it - she says the things that they only think, but have more sense to voice in public.

You are not silenced. YOU can speak out...all repugs can....but not one peep about Bachmann's Big Government Welfare check off the backs of taxpayers nor one peep about her trying to screw Veterans....why not???
There are things worse than calling names....screwing American Veterans comes to mind...too bad you agree with Bachmann...

You didn't read my post very carefully, did you?
Do you sincerely believe that when I suggest that the intelligent Republican women speak out against Bachmann's idiocy, that I'm attempting to "silence" anyone whose opinion differs from mine?
Because if that's what you take from that statement, I wonder how you explain the fact that I'm suggesting that intelligent Republican women SPEAK OUT? Or the fact that those intelligent Republican women are people who possess opinions that are different from mine.
Or do you just see a Liberal post and go on a half-cocked, nonsensical rant?

No, sorry, unlike Repugs I don't hate anyone....I know that is hard for repugs to understand because they only have 3 emotions-hate, anger, and hate.
Dont forget fear, Republicans are good at spreading fear too.
