She’s getting dangerously close to assuming a leadership position nobody has elected her to. With a Presidential run being teased, this is a mistake.
The sheep on the Left still don’t understand the Tea Party, and spent the election season calling anyone from Sharon Angle to Boehner, “Tea Party Leaders”, and we saw how wildly the tag “Tea Party candidate” got tossed around. Nobody in the Tea Party needs Bachmann to speak on their behalf in a formal rebuttal, engaging in more redundant political showboating.

Many still believe that the tea party groups want to form a third party, and a third SOTU speech may reinforce that opinion. If she uses the speech to inform about who tea party people are and why they want Republicans to represent their views, it could be a good thing. We have just been accused of being responsible for a mass murder and many (mostly liberals) have accepted the accusation as true. This is because tea parties have been described by media as violently opposed to the government. We need someone to argue our case or we will stand convicted in the court of public opinion.
