Oh the hyperbole of the Republicans.
They're planning a big demonstration at my office in St. Cloud... to beat up on me. They'll bring all the local media out... so that I'll cave and... switch my vote on SCHIP, which is not going to happen," she said.
Um, Demonstration? That's not beating up on you, Mam. It's called freedom of association, and freedom of political action (a form of speech). I'm sorry if that offends you, but, of course you are a Republican.
Quote above from Awakening's Blog which also has a video about S-Chip and always good writing.
BTW, Get this the Congress woman actually asked media sources to pull political ads.
From Minnesota Monitor "Bachmann Campaign Pressures Media to Pull Ads":
Rep. Michele Bachmann is asking media outlets to pull ads critical of her vote against the expanded State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The requests come from the Bachmann campaign through the offices of the National Republican Congressional Committe...
Um, Mam, that's freedom of political speech, too. You really just can't ban it and still call the U.S. a democracy.
