I will be attending a town-hall meeting here in MN on Thursday held by Rep. Bachmann. She claims to be "representing" her people, but I am not one that agrees with this mindset, and plan to indicate that as one of her constituents on Thursday.

I live close to bachman's district but thankfully not in it. My rep is Betty McCullom, one of the most progressive reps in congress. Just to keep things in perspective, bachmans district was gerrymandered to her great advantage and she still barely won in "08. The slight majority of her constituents are freakishly ignorant one issue voters (taxes). She is like a little kid who says things just for the attention regardless of facts.

The fact is there will be a huge population of USA who subscribe to her views, and she knows that she will keep her constituency by repeating this kind of rubbish on public television. Rep Michelle Bachmann has nothing to fear. Green activists or scientists cannot actually hurt her or penalize her for doing this kind of disservice. When Dr Hansen calls that such misleading propaganda should be punished by law, the opponents paint him as a maniac against free-speech ! There needs to be a solution for dealing with such problems. We should remove the incentive in our political system where such stupid positions are voiced and get rewarded materially. That will be by having a stringent requirement that any politician in public office voicing opinions related to science or the environment should actually hold a science degree, or have worked in a scientific position. A better solution would be by discarding with our current elected representative system altogether, and having a more direct internet democracy of the people. That will, however, be a longer term target .

Use her full title Kate, bachman (stomach) turner in overdrive. A recall election, that's the cure. But is it better to leave her alone and wait for 2010? I thnk so.

Maybe we will even see a Palin/Bachman GOP ticket in 2012? Yes!! Gibber jabbering wing nut fools, they help bring about change we can believe in. By alienating the electorate from the very causes they support. kind of ironic eyyh?

Meanwhile ice caps melt while they fiddle.
