Congressional aides: Maybe Boehner will bypass the tea-party freshmen and make a deal with Dems

Speaker Bachman...

Unfortunately, Bachmann let herself get manipulated into a hopeless run for President, which accomplished two things for the GOP-E:

1) It helped diminish Sarah Palin as a threat to the GOP-E by slicing off some of her support to Bachmann as a possible alternative TEA Party candidate, which was critical coming off of Tucson.

2) It effectively removed Bachmann from the House equation and left the House Freshmen without a Nationally known leader as soon as Boehner started telling them to get their asses in line. Where was Bachmann when Boehner jammed the freshmen two weeks ago on the payroll tax cut, and muted their phone lines to silence them, when he informed them of his betrayal?

Party-first people like you are part of the problem. Go yank the plank out of your own eye before telling folks to pull splinters out of theirs.

I won't forget, but unfortunately it seems like lots of others have. Instead of coming together to beat the corrupt GOP, we have splintered beyond repair. As far as I am concerned, Karl Rove et al can shove Mittens where the sun don't shine. I will NOT vote for him.

Thanks for the link.
