Michele Bachmann Gets Official Approval To Form House Tea Party Caucus

[WillowTree]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said on Monday that her proposal to create a Tea Party caucus in the United States House of Representatives has been officially approved.

Bachmann announced that she had filed paperwork to establish the House group last week. The mission of the coalition she said at the time would be to promote "fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government."

And now, it seems that Bachmann's Tea Party caucus dream has become a reality. "Just got word that the Committee on House Administration officially approved the House Tea Party Caucus," said the conservative congresswoman in a tweet on Monday afternoon.

Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence became the first House member to signal his intention to join Bachmann's newly-created caucus. Talking Points Memo reports:

At a press availability this afternoon, Pence was enthusiastic. "You betcha," Pence said when asked if he'd join.

I guess that's a better name than "Batshit Crazy Caucus".

 

[Modbert]

So let me get this straight, the Republicans in Congress are forming a Tea Party caucus. But the Tea Party and GOP aren't one in the same?

What is this? I don't even.

Michele Bachmann's convoluted attempt at an explanation of what the caucus is and isn't literally gave me a headache.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I guess that's a better name than "Batshit Crazy Caucus".

Or "Racist Black People Caucus".

Cuacus-Shmuacus, if they were truly "Independent" they wouldn't sit/caucus/schmooz/vote with either party. They'd vote their conscience issue by issue.

Let me expand your thinking for you. There is a Congressional Black Caucus. I think they are all Democrats. I think that JC Watts wanted to join and was excluded.

See a sub group can exist within another group. It's usually a small number of a greater number.

And, no, they are certainly not one in the same. Republicans and Democrats are both opposite sides of the same two-headed coin. Flip it all you want and it's still heads.

The TEA Party is the only option in the game. If you have a Senator in office, vote him out. I don't care which one your talking about. Every one of those jag offs is useless. Thieving, lying crooks who exist only to be bribed and to sell influence. When I see a Senator talking, i automatically know he's lying. It's the same with Obama.

If the Senator you see on the ballot in not endorsed by the TEA Party, count on more of the same and more and higher deficits. Send a message and send the crooks home.

That something is not fish. I grew up there. Only half of the State Slogan fits on the License Plates: "Minnesota: land of 10,000 Lakes". The part that doesn't fit is"...and 1 fish.".

how does her votes/support for:

intelligent design, banning same sex marriage, patriot act, and warrantless wiretapping

support the groups mission of:

"fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government."

??? please explain

Riiiight. Because the stated aims of that particular caucus preclude its members from ever voting on any other issue that comes up.

Please. No one could be this retarded without actually working at it.

hey asswipe. Yeah you. You just proved that you can can't comprehend English.

Bachmann listed several reasons for her yes vote on the bill, which extended lone wolf surveillance, roving wire taps and access to business records until mid-2015.

No REAL T- Partier would've voted for the Patriot Act missy.

I do so always love hearing arrogant liberals lecture me on how to REALLY be something that they themselves have never been. Perhaps next you'd like to go lecture a group of swallows on how no REAL bird would ever fly like that.

Truly amazing, how you can make your remarks even LESS relevant, meaningful, and interesting, just when I'd assumed that wasn't possible.
