St. Paul, Minn. — With just five days before the election and no more debates scheduled, both 6th District congressional candidates tried to make the most of their limited time to debate the issues on Minnesota Public Radio's "Midday" program.

"Good thing we're broadcasting in stereo," said show host Gary Eichten.

Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is running for a second term against Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg. Recent polls show the race as a toss-up after Bachmann touched off a campaign controversy nearly two weeks ago.

During an interview on MSNBC, Bachmann said she was concerned Barack Obama might have anti-American views. She also called on the media to look at the views of members of Congress and find out if they are they pro-America or anti-America. . . .

This is one I will shout with joy about if El can send the execrable Michelle Bachmann into the obscurity she so richly deserves.

Audio also at link, by the way.

I loved this quote from El, about her comments on Hardball: "The idea that this is not an issue in the campaign is simply not credible," said Tinklenberg. "I mean it's what's given this campaign a national interest. And it's what generated Colin Powell's comments about that kind of nonsense has got to stop. It is important."

1. May she go far away, never to show her face in politics again.

4. Or to borrow a phrase from Fiddler on the Roof...

May god bless and keep Michelle... far away from us.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Amen!

2. She can go to

Paraguay and swap spit with Dubya in Mariscal Estagaribbia.

3. I'm surprised she would stoop so low as to even appear on the same stage as an anti-American.

Go get her, El!

6. BACHMANN... that's the problem with being the BFF of a pig with lipstick... sometimes you get blamed

7. If that district in Minnesota re-elects this TWISTED SISTER they deserve to take it hard right in

the ass.

[ACTION BASTARD]

8. Bingo.

If she wins, she'll be an even bigger, mega powered biatch! And, yes we'll all be laughing at you. And by you I mean Minnesota.
