Bachmann: We're Not Going To Obey Health Care Law -- 'We Don't Have To' (VIDEO)

[Joanne98]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is going a step beyond simply pledging to fight efforts to pass the health care bill -- she's openly pronouncing that people should personally declare it unconstitutional and defy it, depending on how it ends up getting passed.

At a rally at the Minnesota State Capitol on Saturday, Bachmann declared illegitimate the potential route that House Democrats could take to pass the health care bill. She was specifically railing against a parliamentary tactic by which the House could skip voting on the Senate bill by declaring it passed as part of the reconciliation bill. Bachmann pronounced this to be taxation without representation. "They have just started a revolution -- and they did it," said Bachmann.

"But mark my words, the American people aren't gonna take this lying down," Bachmann later said. "We aren't gonna play their game, we're not gonna pay their taxes. They want us to pay for this? Because we don't have to. We don't have to. We don't have to follow a bill that isn't law. That's not the American way, and that's not what we're going to do."

Bachmann continued. "Because it's one-party rule now in Washington, D.C. Their Chicago tactics, their Chicago friends, twisting Democrats' arms, threatening their own team members with ethics charges and a submission. This handful of people thinks (sic) they can enforce their will on 300 million Americans? They're not gonna do that. This is dictatorial, what they are doing. We are not compelled to follow a non-law just because Obama and Pelosi tells us we have to.

1. She is a fucking piece of work now isn't she...

[mediaman007]

2. The dumbing down of America continues...

I don't want to pay for the Reagan's missile shield either, but I do.

[treestar]

3. Why does she think 300 million Americans agree with her?

How does she think "one party rule" came about?

Jerks didn't complain about "one party rule" from 2004-2006.

[KansDem]

4. She's so full of shit.

Turn her upside down in a farm field and watch the manure flow out...

[JuniperLea]

5. I wonder how many pathetic sheep...

would allow themselves to die, or worse, allow a child to die... because their beloved GOP mouthpiece told them to refuse this "unconstitutional" assistance.

Idiots. I'm so fucking sick of idiots.

[LynneSin]

6. These idiots need to turn in their welfare cards, medicare cards, SSN cards and everything else

and when they are unemployed and needing money - I'll just mock them.

[Bolo Boffin]

7. The STUPID! It BUUUURNSSS!!

Michelle Bachmann has already voted on the House bill. She is going to vote on the Senate bill and then on the eventual reconciliation bill, and she's making these kind of claims?

Taxation Without Representation: You're doing it wrong.

[Bolo Boffin]

13. Ah, well, she's talking about the "deem and pass" strategy.

Well, she won't be voting on just the Senate bill as it turns out, if Pelosi goes with deeming the bill as passed in the reconciliation bill. But Bachmann will still be voting on the reconciliation bill, and odds are the vote would have been the same as if she'd done it twice.

Silly Bachmann.

[Taverner]

8. She and Kucinich should start some kind of party together

[lolly]

9. what "law" does she think they can "obey?"

OK, I guess the insurance mandate thing--if that passes, they can refuse to buy health insurance.

But then are they going to refuse to get care too?

Does she realize that poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans want some sort of health care reform?

OK, I realize that was a dumb question.

[Maru Kitteh]

10. She's trying so hard to be the REAL Sarah, isn't she.

[sufrommich]

11. Good Lord, that borders on treasonous. nt

[spanone]

12. there will always be ignorant dumbfucks wallowing in the halls of congress...ala bachman

[Blue Owl]

14. Real good, Michelle

You go do that.

:eyes:

[Initech]

15. I'm seriously thinking of getting "TAXPAYR" as a custom license plate.

That would seriously piss them off, it would be great! :popcorn:

[marmar]

16. Shallow. Stupid. Jingoistic. Possessing Fascistic tendencies.

...... Michele Bachmann is the posterchild for the mad-dog right.

[Giant Robot]

17. Why why why why

Isn't stupidity painful?

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. she is batshit crazy

[Echo In Light]

19. "This is dictatorial..." Patriot Act?

[muffin1]

20. Maybe

she'll call for another 'suicide pact'...

[DeschutesRiver]

21. She went to law school just like I did, and she knows 100% that what she is saying is utter crap

If she still has a license, I'd like to see the bitch dis-barred.

Her low IQ tea party followers can't process a lot of concepts - Bachman doesn't have that excuse, and she is inciting the morons almost to violence over this, something she knows is completely false.

She did the same thing with the Census.

[lpbk2713]

22. Is she really five years old?

Or is it her brain that's just five years old?






WAAAH!! I don't HAVE to!!

[closeupready]

23. Of course, because Republicans are above the law.

We all know that, Michele. :eyes:

Try to spend 10 minutes some day, just thinking what if money did not matter at all, just to get the feeling of other things. Try to pretend just for yourself, for only 10 minutes, that money means nothing. See what other things come up in your mind.

Money has a place, but not as the most important thing, and sometimes not thinking about money can help someone find other things that are important. Give it a try. :loveya:
