Michele Bachman: Tea Parties are the Future of the GOP

Asserting that the tea party movement will come to “dominate” the GOP, Representative Bachmann told Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly on “The O’Reilly Show” Monday night:

“What we’re seeing is that the Republican Party is waking up to and recognizing that the real uprising happening across America isn’t just about Republicans, but disaffected Democrats and independents saying, ‘Wait a minute, the country isn’t working anymore, let’s get back to balance,’ ” said Bachmann, who will speak Feb. 6 at the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville, Tenn.
