Methinks Republican Rep. MIchelle Bachmann misses the carefree days of McCarthyist politics. Everything was so much simpler then, when a paranoid reactionary senator could scream the word "Communist" at anyone they disagreed with and curry favor from the frightened masses... Ah, those truly were the days.

Bachmann appeared on Fox News recently to reassure everyone that even though Barack Obama won the presidency and the Democrats have the majority in the House and Senate, she and her Republican pals will not allow them to carry out their devious plans and "enact socialism".

"What we have to do is give our positive alternatives to socialism,” said Bachmann in the interview.  “Now that we will have a Democrat in the White House and, of course, running both branches of government, our job will be to make the very positive, distinct difference.  Not necessarily to help the Democrats enact socialism, in fact to fight it,"

According to Bachmann, a lot of Americans didn't realize the power the Democrats would have:  "I think the American people at the end of the day will say, whoa, wait a minute. I didn’t vote for socialism, did I?” Now that the red menace lives in our government, it is up to the ragtag crew of the Republican minority to help combat this awful threat that looms over America.

Frankly, I'm surprised this woman got elected again, considering her ridiculous rant on Obama's "anti-American views", lovin' on Dubya, or that she believes that God Himself called her to Congress.  The self-proclaimed "fool for Christ" was just re-elected and already she is talking about fighting those conniving socialists... Have District 6 voters not been keeping up with this woman?
