Bachmann: Tuesday Was a Win for ‘Fiscal Sanity’ (National Review Online)

How much influence will the Tea Party have in the new Republican majorities? “I think we saw a lot of influence this Tuesday at the polls,” said Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann on State of the Union. “It was really the energy of fiscal sanity.”

“That’s what the Tea Party is,” continued Bachmann, who has long been considered a Tea Party leader in (and beyond) the House. “It’s maligned and people don’t understand what it is, but it’s really about bringing fiscal sanity. That was the message of Tuesday, and that’s a united message — both in the House now and in the Senate.”
