Bachmann calls to drill the Everglades ‘responsibly’

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told The Associated Press Sunday that as president, she would approve drilling for oil and natural gas in the Everglades.

“The United States needs to be less dependent on foreign sources of energy and more dependent upon American resourcefulness,” the candidate said. “Whether that is in the Everglades, or whether that is in the eastern Gulf region, or whether that’s in North Dakota, we need to go where the energy is.”

“Of course it needs to be done responsibly. If we can’t responsibly access energy in the Everglades then we shouldn’t do it.”

14. She's batshit insane!

I lived for years 3 miles from the Everglades, was a member of "Friends of the Everglades" to protect it. Marjory Stoneman Douglas known as "Mother of the Everglades" wrote:

“There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth, remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.”

Dear Michelle, stay away from the Everglades, you freak!

16. Pandering for energy sector donations.

Good luck on that sugar, given the way the Administration acted during and after the Gulf Spill she's got a tough row to hoe.
