It has been discredited over and over again. Yet here comes dib, repeating it again. At least Republicans can be counted on for something. The “Blame the CRA” meme is a lie.

Actually, Elrod, Barney Frank and his boy friends in Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac plus the Community Reinvestment Act have been irresponsible over the last decade. Frank & some RINO Repugs helped keep GWB from changing the ridiculous mortgage regime the CRA engendered.

Frank is the “crazy” one in the little world inside the Beltway Bachmann has to inhabit, along with Dem loons and RINO clowns. Unlike insufferable toady Ellison, Michele has not been praised by the NYT editorial board in any case a dubious honor somewhat akin to the Nobel Prizes awarded to Al Gore and James Earl Carter [and the honorable mention to Paul Krugboy].

Maybe now is a good time to do a redistricting with those new-fangled borders that are even more random than inkblots and have those people represented by Ellison. And of course those people in Ellison's district who want Michele can be represented by her. :) I feel sorry for the people in Michele's district who did not vote for her and yet are stuck with her.

Remember, after Bachmann called for an investigation of Congressmen for loyalty, and her opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg got a massive infusion of cash, she still ended up winning the district – although by a close margin.

Like many so-called “far right” districts, Bachmann's is actually very polarized.
