She and her fellow R's are planning on putting a bill out on the floor to repeal the bill that was just passed.

Do they honestly think that if they just voted again - one week later or one day later or one month later - they would get a completely different vote from the one last night?

I mean, WTF? Very puzzled by their strategy here, can anyone explain to me if they actually expect this to work?

3. its just a fundraising ploy
its not going to be put on the floor. it won't even get a hearing in committee. its as DOA as any bill can be. But MadMichele will pimp it in fundraising letters for all its worth.

6. Ms Crazyeyes?
Strategy? Sanity?
If eyes are windows to the soul..what do you say about the souless Welfare queen whose has received 250,000$ in farm subsidies...?

It would be the same thing over again.
I don't agree too much with this 'reform' since it makes folks pay insurance companies, it should have been a medicare buy in.

7. Trying to discern coherent, Hell even sentient, thought from the actions of Michelle Bachmann ...
is akin to searching for Rush Limbaugh at the salad bar. It just ain't there.

10. It's God's will, of course...
He put that crazy idea into her head, and if it wasn't His will then He wouldn't have done it. You see, God put her inside the House in order to lead His people to the promise land and she is just doing what she was told to do by the voices in her head.

11. Drama, hysteria, base crazy making?
Michelle just loves the drama. She's an inadequate personality type reaching for an imaginary brass ring.

12. You are correct. They thing because they want it, they still rule.
this is the very reason that there is so much hate and violence from the republican congress. They still think they rule.

13. She thinks "repeal" means the bells in her head will ring again.
She finds them pretty.
