Swiss amiss: Rep. Bachmann drops Swiss citizenship
Source: Associated Press
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann ended her Swiss citizenship less than diplomatically Thursday, saying she was giving it up to prove she is a "proud American citizen."
The Minnesota Republican said Thursday that she had written to the Swiss Consulate asking to withdraw her citizenship just two days after it was first reported that she had taken steps to affirm it. Bachmann had drawn flak from critics who noted that Switzerland has universal health care, something Bachmann vigorously opposes.
"I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100 percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America," Bachmann said.

Sorry Michele. You broke it, you bought it.
Her Dem opponent shouldn't just insinuate - her anti-Americanist hypocracy should be an ad looped 24/7.
She continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. 
Now, just how stupid would you have to be to give up your citizenship and try to stay as a US representative? Pretty f*ckin' stupid, I'd say.
