Bachmann: Left 'Terribly Afraid' of Tea Party; Schumer, Dems Want Government Shutdown

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: All right, well, we don't have a budget, but at least now we finally know whose fault it is that we don't, and it's all yours.

(LAUGHTER)

REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN.: I didn't know I was that powerful! It is amazing! Same song, second verse because they've been after the Tea Party from the very beginning. It appears that the left is so terribly afraid of the Tea Party, and so they want to throw the Tea Party under the bus once again because they've decided they're not willing to negotiate. That's what we heard from Chuck Schumer. They're not willing to negotiate. So they want to put John Boehner in a box.

He won't be allowed to be put in a box. All the conservatives are trying to hang together right now because we definitely want to come to a solution. We're trying to work together. Chuck Schumer is saying they're not going to work together because they want the government to shut down. That's what they want. We want to make this thing work.
