She's possibly going to run for senate against Al Franken.
Now that would be entertaining.

Jim Graves drops out following Michele Bachmann’s exit
Minnesota businessman Jim Graves, a top Democratic recruit who had been planning a rematch against Rep. Michele Bachmann next year, abruptly suspended his campaign Friday morning — two days after Bachmann announced she wouldn’t be seeking reelection.
Graves, who nearly knocked off Bachmann in November, launched his campaign last month and was in Washington last week to meet with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He released a poll showing him with a slight lead over Bachmann in a 2014 rematch.
Thank God I can FINALLY vote Republican in my district!
Don't say that! They haven't had a primary yet! You'll jinx it!
As long as it's not Bachmann I'm voting Republican in my district lol
Each election I was forced to vote third party because of her stupidity,hell last election there was no third party so I left that section blank.Now I wouldn't feel as if I'm committing a crime by voting Republican in the 6th district lol
This is how Bachmann got elected in the first place. People voting for the Republican for no other reason than them being Republican.
No,she won because she is charasmatic and use to be a money raising machine.....Well thats what got her elected at first,then her nuttiness kicked in and each election has gotten tighter and tighter.I never voted for her,so I do not take responsibility to her being in office.
And because it's a gerrymandered conservative district where people vote R because it's an R. The people who voted for her didn't analyze that decision, they voted for their team. This isn't some knock against conservatives, most voters behave this way.
You have admitted to planning to do this in the future. To avoid a stealth Bachmann 2.0, I would suggest learning about the various candidates before blindly voting for them!

well maybe some people get tired of the party of tax hikes, massive government spending and buying the votes of the unproductive with the wealth of others? and if someone voted for Nancy Pelosi as SOTH that pretty much puts them on the permanent Do NOT VOTE for list for me
... and yet Republican states make the highest use of welfare.
not that stupid claim again. that only works if GOP states have nothing but GOP voters
and what is OHIO? How about VIRGINIA, FLORIDA?
Stupid "because cranberries" I assume.
It would be one thing if you could isolate lower income demographics in red states from conservative voting patterns, but poor white people tend to vote Republican and they also make broad use of welfare.
More importantly, it doesn't change the fact the Republican Party has never taken any overt stand against wealth redistribution and routinely engages with it at about the same frequency as Democrats.
the GOP is cowardly because there are so many people sucking on the public tit and cutting all of those who really shouldn't be off would be an electoral disaster. But the fact remains, the main selling point the dems make to most voters is that "we will give you stuff" while the GOPs main argument to its supporters is "we will take less than they will"

And yet any variation of corporate welfare doesn't compensate for this.
People have a perception that the United States government invests money in developing countries for diplomatic and military reasons, but the underlying purpose is because those are the places with the cheapest, most under regulated labor and therefore the places private companies are most anxious to invest. Problem is, none of these countries have (or had) the infrastructure to make something like an Ipod manufacturing plant a reality. No roads, no trains, no airports, no cost effective means of distributing products back to the West. So American tax dollars get invested abroad to make countries economically useful to us. As with most of the perks of globalism, this is something only wealthy Americans can take advantage of it. The middle class guy gets screwed twice: he pays taxes to export his jobs and then he has to accept lower wages to be competitive with the job he paid to export.
Point is, if you want to measure out who gets more out of wealth distribution, its the people who have money.
If $istah $arah and Bat**** Bachmann were ever in the same room together the intellectual vacuum created would collapse the walls.

The Republican Party hasn't taken a serious stand against wealth redistribution in ... well, never. Not even during the New Deal. Even their opposition to health care reform was cast in terms of different conflicts, like the size of government.
Let me debug your translation: "There is no future option or opportunity, be it directly in the political arena or otherwise, that I won't be giving serious consideration if it can help save and protect our great nation."Let me translate: "I will be working from the studio in my house that Fox News will be building for me." Unless she and her husband are too busy praying away the gay.
