HA HA.
Sincere or attention whoring?
Quote"Be assured, my decision was not in any way influenced by any concerns about my being re-elected to Congress," Bachmann said. "And rest assured, this decision was not impacted in any way by the recent inquiries into the activities of my former presidential campaign or my former presidential staff."

YAY! IS REAL!

Neither. She's not going to get any funding, because she's proven ineffective.
So she's going to pull a Palin. She'll be gone within a year of leaving office.
So long as she isn't replaced with something worse, I call this a win.

Well, whomever it is won't be as FUNNY. Frankly, I call it a loss. She is a walking parody of the current right wing.
Which is why she's ineffective, and thus why she's not getting any stacks of filthy lucre next election.

None of them are funny to me anymore. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

You know, that's a true statement. It isn't their fault at all that my sense of humor broke.

Also, she had this amazing habit of torpedoing her own ship. If for no other reason, that was enough for me to want her to stick around.

That's some hardcore crazy.
I'm glad that it seems like most Republicans are going, "OK, whoo, that's actually TOO crazy".

Well, there's going to be less racist, homophobic, anti-feminist white males in the future, so their marketing strategy has to change...
Have to pee right now, but about to read through this:

Big business will just start buying Democrats instead.
Start? :lulz:

Well, let me rephrase that. :p
They will reallocate their contributions to favor Dems, while still bribing-er "contribute to the campaigns of" Republicans, especially those who might actually win.
It didn't collect enough signatures, but there was a petition to require congresspeople to wear their top corporate contributors' labels on their suits whenever engaged in any official business. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/20/white-house-petition-logos_n_2912087.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009
