In reply to Taibbi: Michelle Bachmann's Holy War

Is she really what the GOPer's need? Wouldn't they be better off with a solid, veto-proof majority in both House and Senate to ram thru what ever legislation they desired and let Obama take all the hits when thing go to $hit?

To emphasis my point, just think about Wisconsin and multiply that by the number of states necessary to pass a Constitutional Amendment. Both House and Senate agree they want to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, so they draw up the necessary legislation, submit it for Obama's approval, which is vetoed, then passes back to Congress which overrides the veto and it's on its way to the States for approval. In two years, they can pretty much destroy the entire New Deal and whatever else they despise to a point where it would be impossible to resurrect anything to the level of what it was before.

Last thing they need is Bachman in the White House...someone from their own party they have no control over. She could derail their efforts and which would force them into a corner which would make it nearly impossible to not get smeared with being blamed for the actions they set in motion.
