Obviously, the hate or ignorance that breeds this division has roots elsewhere. It appears that some of those small towns, often referred to as the "real America," are rich ground for this type of un-American thought process. Dislike of the current Administration, for its lack of respect to the Constitution, its disregard of civil rights, supporting torture, and the rebirth of an Imperial Presidency that is closed to scrutiny or criticism amongst other things does not mean you are either a liberal nor anti-American. Quite the opposite, it is every citizen's responsibility to question their government, their actions and motives. This is what a democracy is all about. Unfortunately, this is something Ms. Bachmann fails to understand. We always blame Congress and Washington for perpetually being divided along party lines.

This is insane. The Republican ticket is out of control. They are trying to fright people into voting for them. These tactics will cause terrible harm to this country and probably some innocent person who try doesn't agree with their agenda.

Its shameful and beyond dangerous. The problem is that she has a voice in the U.S. Congress and is a glib politician who can get away with anything she says. This is about pulling the country together and re-building America. If she cannot control her mouth and if she thinks she can get away with anything - she is dead wrong. She needs to be censured and she needs to be defeated. She is a disgrace to America and Americans. She scares me. God help us!

Boy, if I lived in her district in Minnesota I would be doing more than contributing $ to her opponent (which I did). I would be gathering every one I know that is registered and storming the voting booth to stop this Josephine McCarthy.

Is she kidding? What a disgrace! How does the state that produced the great Paul Wellstone produce an atrocity like this?? Dumbfounding. She must be censured and voted out of office immediately.
