By her insane prattling on everything from the HPV vaccine causing mental retardation to a re-play of the Cuban Missile Crisis starring Hezbollah, Michele Bachmann hurts not just herself, but the entire wing of the GOP she aspires to represent.
You can be a social conservative without being crazy. You can be an economic conservative without being crazy. You can be a national-security conservative without being crazy.
But the more rabid nonsense the country hears from Bachmann, the more she taints the non-establishment side of the party. The sooner they get her to drop out, the less credibility they lose.
Isn’t it time for the Repblican National Committee to simply say to Bachman, go away, you are not welcome, you are a moron, you don’t represent our Republican ideals?
