Tinklenberg is not a “weird” name in Cental Minnesota. Take a look at the phone book for St. Cloud, MN and you’ll see a lot of last names from a different ethnic heritage than you are familiar with.

Bachmann is the poster child (or is it nut job) for the bat-crap crazies that make up the largest segment of todays GOP.
Should the vote-weilding morons in her district re-elect this bible thumpin’ wild-eyed looney then they will get the caliber of representation in DC that they deserve. And along with the that these voters will become the focal point and the butt of jokes about her as well. After all “stupid is what stupid does” says Forrest Gump but I prefer “Only in America”. After all, being intellegent was never a criteria for getting a voter registration card in the good ole’ US of A…

Citizen NCGal:

The only way Minnesota gets rid of Bachmann is through redistricting…the district as now configured is a wholey owned protectorate of the Catholic Church. Indeed, the Catholic Church is a much bigger player in Minnesota reactionary politics than any other single force …after all it’s got more money even than all the rich families that have run the state since the 1880′s.

MN is still more progressive than most states in many ways, especially in the cities of Minneapolis & St Paul. I lived there for years.

It’s a shame about Maureen Reed. I didn’t realize what was going on. Reed has been on Twitter for months proclaiming herself as DFL opponent to Bachmann. Reed is officially kicking off her campaign in Anoka today.

The thing about Bachmann & MN is that she represents a particular type of Minnesotan. The cities of Minneapolis & St Paul would never vote for her. The cities are largely Dem & diverse. But white people who are not interested in living in the Dem & diverse cities flock to the suburbs, especially the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. These people are typically suburban or small-town folk. You see a lot of pickups & SUVs. And they are the voters for Bachmann. I don’t believe she could ever be elected to a statewide MN office. The people in the cities think she’s crazy.

“The Republican party today has little interest in developing constructive policy. Its reps would rather spend their energy offering up ridiculous claims to see if they can ride a wave of deceit back into power. Hopefully, they’ll just catch a riptide and get pulled further out to sea.”

Sounds like a Tarryl Clark campaign slogan.

Yes as a Brown person who might be mistaken for a Secret Muslim I think billboards would be a great use of tax payer dollars!
Or how about a computer real estate map that takes into account and puts a negative future value on racism like cross burning, and living in Michelle’s district GOP voters love their property values.
A rumor that banks are giving voters in Michelle’s district less value for their homes because Michelle’s crazy rants got potential home buyers thinking Meth Labs, Cross Burnings and Inbreeding would be believed by Michelle’s conspiracy theory base.

I would like to see billboards going up now to warn motorists that they are entering the home district of Michele Bachman, the biggest wacko in congress and the people who elected her.

Tarryl Clark looks great PW better than Michelle, Sarah, Coulter, Malkin I expect the GOP to say she was chosen for her looks and down play her experience.
I want our side ready with Michelle quotes to show her experience .

I thought it was the school health clinics that would have the abortions performed and the girls on the school bus at the end of the day and that the camps were for freedom loving amurikans
