Bachman and her statements shown to be false

[delldude]

Please show me where I said her lack of experiences was an issue for me? I do not recall ever saying that or believing that. I do have issues with her quitng half way through her term and her lack of intelligence and her lying but not her lack of experience.

Dude, you went round and round forever back then.....with me and Dapoes. I'm not one these wonks who sits on here eating a snickers bar and drinking jolt who got the time to research every friggin post you made like some do here...

 

[leprechaun]

You are such a liar. You hated her just because she is a woman and a conservative. That's enough for you libtards.

As I said I have huge issues with her lack of intellectual curiosity. Her blatant manipulation of facts to fit her agenda and her hypocrisy. As far as I am aware I have never questioned her experience so you will excuse me if I do not take your word for it. Feel free to post your proof if you have it.

Given the fact that Obama did not have a great deal of national experience I am pretty sure I would not have said anything about Palins. Although she had/has far less than Obama or Bachmann.

I still have not heard anyone explain how Bachmanns experience is better than Obamas even though they are nearly identical. I belive it falls into the your guy, my guy BS but have yet to hear anyone say it.

Primary reason for me why Bachmann is superior to the Empty Suit is simple

Bachmann built a business, generated a payroll. To me that alone makes it game set match Michele

If you stop feeding the troll she may go away or start making legitimate contributions. I have my doubts for the later but miracles can happen.

Join the rest of us and just put her on ignore.

What business did she start? I have read that she joined the IRS as an attorney (that is funny as hell, dont you think?) and after her 4th kid she quit to raise her kids.

The farm was not hers but her families which she has stake in. The only thing that would come close to a business is a counseling center that her and her husband started. No idea how large or how successful it was or is.

The farm is a business and if she has even a 1% share it's 1% more than the Empty Suit.

Ditto for the Counseling Center. If it generates a payroll of $10/week it's a bigger payroll then the Empty Suit has generated in a lifetime.

She was also involved in founding a Charter school. Which didn't end well due to deeply held religious beliefs.

 

[Ms Tree]

I have investments in business as well. Two in fact. I have nothing to do with the running if the business. The fact that she has a stake in a farm has nothing to do with anything unless you have evidence that she helps run the business.

Same for the counselling center. Does she run it or finance?. Big difference.

The school sounds lime bad planning from what you just said.

 

[Dog Wonder]

"When asked about the subsidies and her income from the farm late last year, a spokesman for Bachmann said only that she wasn't involved in decisions about the running of the farm."

 

[Ms Tree]

I guess that strikes that business knowledge from her resume. That leaves the counseling center and the failed school.

School is still in business AFAIK, she was ousted from the board.

For the record, the counseling center is one more business than The Empty Suit has started. One mote Employer, One more payroll. What remains unclear is did she have any experience as an Attorney in private Practice?

I'm not a huge giant fan of the woman. I just think it might be helpful to hear from someone who lives near her district.

 

[Ms Tree]

According to her bio I saw no private business experience. Was is the counseling center profitable? Did she have anything to do with running it?

Why did she get kicked off the board?

AFAIK, the Money was legally obtained through one or more of the numerous farm subsidies. What is true is the Bachmann's started out girt poor and raised themselves up to a point to where they were able support themselves.

She the Cpngress Critter next district over from mine and she is highly respected here and frankly knows how to get things done. She wildly popular in an Ultra Liberal state and that should tell you something her all by itself.

Character Assassination of oponents unless we have a dramatic change in the economy is Obama's only chance at re-election.

Reading this response I can only come to the conclusion that you are not a libertarian. What you are is argumenative. A true libertarian would condemn Mrs. Bachman for being a hypocrite for ranting about government handouts while her own family profits from them. And I said nothing about those handouts being illegal, I just pointed out her hypocrisy.

It's not character assasination when it's fact.

Ms Tree,

I've no idea opf the specifics of and have yet to see anything concrete regarding the Bachmann Family and farm subsidies. She was a tax lawyer so to me it would come as no surprise that the family used every tool at their disposal to leverage the tax code just as every American does. Just like some of the Tax deductions the Clinton's did on their tax returns.

Her ya go.

Those farm subsidies have nothing to do with the tax code.

The same counseling center that just happens to have accepted Medicaid payments since '05...
