On the Cut, Cap and Balance Bill, presidential candidates Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul were among the nine Republicans who voted against their party. Showing responsibility in case they get the nomination? Heck no; they felt the bill does not go far enough -- Bachmann is disappointed that it does not defund healthcare and Paul will not vote to raise the debt limit under any circumstances. What does the tea party think of people who are so pure they won't even vote for a tea party bill unless it contains every single clause they support?
Note: Paul was also unhappy that the bill does not include defense cuts. At least he is consistently libertarian, even when it puts him with us anti-war liberals. |

The only point of throwing up a hopeless bill is so that everyone can score political points.
If they were voting on the death penalty, Bachmann would vote against because it does not guarantee a sufficiently painful method of execution. |

After seeking direction from her husband on how she should vote, of course. |

| I shouldn't joke about someone's afflictions, but I can't help seeing a bit of balanced justice in the fact that one of the country's biggest pains in the ass suffers from migraine headaches (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/20/karl-rove-michele-bachmann_n_904535.html). |

In a world with absolute justice, wouldn't she have hemorrhoids? |
