Bachmann touched on the priorities of Republicans if they retook Congress in 2010, to “pass repealer bill after repealer bill,” to prevent the creation of a one-world currency, and to pull the government back from the “36 percent of private business profits” that she claimed it now controlled. And she said Michigan residents were “depressed enough” without Gitmo prisoners being relocated to state facilities where they could inspire more terrorists. “This is where they learn conversion to Islam!” said Bachmann. “In the prisons!”

Aw, c’mon, Michele! What’s wrong with a little Census hysteria?
