Michele Bachmann Would Have Wisconsin to Homeschool Its Kids

Washington, DC - Appearing on Fox News (because its much safer to the spout crazy than on the GMA) this afternoon, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) dragged up the unpleasant memory of President Reagan firing striking air traffic controllers,  implying Wisconsin might want to follow suit in regard to their protesting teachers.

Teachers have been calling in sick this week to protest as a result of Republican Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal in which he insists the only way to battle a fictional deficit, is to strip the negotiating rights of the public unions allowing them only to negotiate for higher salaries, but no longer for any improvement health insurance or retirement benefits.

Despite there being plenty of evidence to the contrary in the form of thousands of protesters, Bachmann was insistent that the people of Wisconsin were behind the legislators, not the protesters, and criticized the White House for being supportive of the teachers.

So, in review - a potential candidate for the 2012 presidential race has clearly stated that she sides with the government, not the people with the potential to cast a ballot in her favor.  The same BIG government she’s constantly railing against.

Unsolicited Drivel caught up with one Wisconsin resident for comment on the Minnesota Congresswoman’s remarks.  He offered, “Boy, she sure likes to trot out those Reagan analogies!  Doesn’t she know delusional people stopped celebrating the GOP saint’s birthday two weeks ago?  I can’t believe she would want to FIRE teachers.  What does she want us to homeschool our kids?  Wisconsin’s working parents can't stay home and educate their kids when they’re struggling to put food on their tables as it is!   That might work in Bachmann’s district in Minnesota though, as it has the highest unemployment rate in her state and parents have plenty of extra free time on their hands.”
