Yes, sorry but Bachman is on her own special level of crazy. Just being liberal doesn't make you crazy, nor does being a conservative. The words coming out of these people mouths is what I care about, and yes Bachman is one step out of a mental hospital.

The hypocrisy in the American political theater is massive, it's only okay for one side to do things.

Both parties are a joke, and sorry but I think hypocrisy is not the biggest issue, its the partisanship. People are routinely lied to, media outlets skew stories with their own partisan viewpoint and ultimately the average voter either stops caring or is fed nothing but BS.
The fact the Bush era wealthy tax cuts were brought back and signed by Obama was the final nail in the coffin if anyone had any doubts the rich are getting everything they want at the expense of the middle class and poor.
The Republicans want to cut programs to save money, what do they target, NPR, planned parenthood, heating oil for the poor, scholarships for poor students, lunch programs, etc..
Nobody is jumping at cutting spending on the massive military complex, lets hurt the middle class and poor even more at the benefit of the wealthy.
The US is more than ever now a plutocracy.
