Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann was among the first national politicians to associate herself with the tea party and she has been an ardent supporter and spokeswoman for the movement on Capitol Hill. But now that her presidential campaign is losing steam, one major tea party-aligned group wants her off the trail.
Ned Ryune, the president of the Virginia-based American Majority, a conservative grassroots organization, argued Thursday that while Bachmann has effectively championed tea party values, her presidential campaign may be doing the movement more harm than good.
"It's time for Michele Bachmann to go," Ryune wrote in a blog post titled, "Bachmann's Flounding Can Damage Tea Party." He went on to say, "In Bachmann's case, it is clear that the campaign has become less about reform and more about her personal effort to stay relevant and sell books; a harsh commentary, but true. It's not about tea party values or championing real plans to solve real problems."

Well it took long enough but it seems that even the teabaggers are finally waking up to what a idiot Bachmann is. Hopefully they dump her and fade into history. Maybe I am being to optimistic about that last thought.
