Liberal organization buys TV time against Bachmann
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/22/liberal-organization-buys-tv-time-against-bachmann/?eref=politicalflipper&fbid=uKKzBbg7zlQ

Rep. Michele Bachmann is the target of a new $100,000 television ad campaign that criticizes her for voting against health care reform.

The liberal advocacy organization Americans United for Change will begin running the commercials against the Minnesota Republican Tuesday – the centerpiece of a broader attempt to hurt Republicans for voting against President Obama’s signature domestic issue. The organization will also be directing recorded telephone messages into the congressional districts of 14 House Republicans, including Bachmann and two others who are running for the Senate.

The theme of the TV ad and robo calls is that these lawmakers have insurance coverage paid for by taxpayers, but voted against health care reform. Americans United is not targeting the 34 Democrats who joined House Republicans in voting against the measure.

1. Targeted Republicans that are political bomb throwers makes sense to me.
She proclaims herself "Americans Representative". I'd love to see that ding-dong permanently sidelined from Congress. Then she can devote her attentions,full time, to working on a Palin/Bachmann 2012 campaign.
