Losing Faith in Michele Bachmann as a Tea Party Leader in Congress

She voted for the USA Patriot Act, and she claims she is Tea Party. I didn't give Michele Bachmann a pass. It's probably a good thing. Her latest rant against Obama appears to be from her dislike and disgust of Obama rather than anything that resembles a Constitutional argument against Obama's illegal war in Libya.

“I would not have gone in” to Libya, Bachmann said on NBC’s “Today” show.

Neither would I, especially as a member of the Tea Party. Listen to what Bachmann says is her reason.

Did you hear anything that resembles a Tea Party, Founding Father based Constitutional argument? She argues there isn't any national interest in Obama's justification for his war. "National interest?" You mean the United States should bomb nations back to the stone age simply based on "national interest." That sounds imperialistic to me, especially when you consider the caution the founding fathers used when it came to war. They clearly placed in the Constitution the purpose of the military is to "provide common defense." National interest isn't listed as the reason for the military.

The question needs to be asked again. Is Michele Bachmann earning her DeceptiCON (neocon) stripes as she plays with the presidency?
