Labrador fills in for Tea Party favorite, Rep. Michele Bachmann

[IDemo]

Idaho GOP congressional candidate Raul Labrador stepped in for Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., at a "Fire Pelosi" speaking series event in Washington, D.C., Wednesday.

Labrador said in a news release Thursday that he was asked to replace Bachmann for a keynote speech at Republican National Committee headquarters.

Bachmann helped found the Tea Party Caucus in Congress, which now has 50 members.

According the news release, Labrador spoke of the importance of volunteering, being active in our communities, and working hard in Republican races, so Republicans win control of the House and replace Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

“I am honored the RNC asked me to fill in for a visionary leader like Congresswoman Michele Bachmann," Labrador said. "She is helping lead our country away from the brink of financial ruin and return it to fiscal sanity. I respect her greatly.”

The party of the "bladder" since all they ever want is control. Too bad they haven't learned that too much TEA makes for less control!
