Rep Steve King says: Bachmann is almost 100 percent campaigning for president right now

Well then, in my opinion, Bachmann should give up about 100 percent of her paycheck that the taxpayers are footing the bill for! :)

Tea party hoopla fades on the Hill

SNIP

On the House side, the Tea Party Caucus has been similarly quiet. The last meeting of the 60-member group occurred in early June, several months after its previous meeting in late February. The group was launched in July 2010 by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) to “ensure the voices of the people are carried through the halls of Congress.”

But “the people” haven’t been able to communicate much with this group since Bachmann turned her attention to the presidential campaign trail. Before returning to Washington on Oct. 12, to vote on free-trade agreements, Bachmann had not voted since Aug. 1, when she voted against the debt ceiling agreement. She missed nearly half of all votes in July.

Iowa Rep. Steve King — a tea party favorite, himself, and close friend of Bachmann — acknowledged that he hasn’t heard a peep out of the House Tea Party Caucus in the past few months.

“The reason for that is Michele Bachmann leads the Tea Party Caucus, and she’s almost 100 percent campaigning for president right now,” King said in a phone interview. But he argued the group carried clout in the House and said it would continue to function whether Bachmann is in Washington or in Iowa.

NOT the taxpayers

Oh right, tea party.

call it 664% or 665%. She's not perfect after all, no devil is.

She sounds like she's running to be anointed Head Preacher for some loony fringe Christian religious sect that has some rather cultist tendencies.

Of course they are probably glad she is not voting in Congress right now.
