Appearing today on the Glenn Beck show, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) was asked a very blunt question: Does she ever think she would be better off if she just got out of Washington?

“Well sometimes you think that. But then I’d have to look at my five kids, our 23 foster kids that we raised, and realize I have to hand the baton of freedom off to them,” said Bachmann. “I have to look at myself in the mirror and ask myself: Did I do everything I could possibly do to make sure our country stays free, under our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.”
