Bachmann calls for the press to take a good hard look at the Congress, and do an investigation into who's pro- or anti-American. She says she'd welcome such a thing.
No, she wouldn't. Because as this election is about to make pluperfectly clear to anyone with more than a single functioning brain cell, currently Americans despise Republican positions on most issues. Any press investigation that wasn't Fox Noise "Fair and Balanced" would almost have to start by deciding that they had to define "American".
And any such definition would almost have to be composed mostly of the views of the majority on a slate of issues. Following from there to determining which politicos were more in line with the baseline as so defined would be a fairly simple exercise. You wouldn't even necessarily have to talk to them, though fairness does suggest an opportunity for each member of Congress to have a word or two.
This work has already been done. And on issue after issue, the Democrats beat the Republicans.
So, Ms. Bachmann, you really, really don't want that press expose. You'd end up officially branded a traitor, or something like it. And you would not like that.
So really, it's time for the Republicans to STFU about this "anti-American" crap. Questioning your opponent's patriotism worked six years ago. But you rode that horse to death- it's not taking you another step.
