Bachman and her statements shown to be false

[SparrowHawk]

Her ya go.

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

Other than the fact that they point out that anyone with half a brain uses the Tax Code to their advantage. Farm Subsidies are usually in the form of a tax credit.

Also who is Paul Bachmann? Her husband is named Marcus? Guessing it her now dead father in law? Further if she was elected to Congress in 2006 so her term started 2007. Assuming she is in some way related to this Paul Bachmann somehow the amount of subsidy taken since then is not even $7,500.00

$259,000 over 15 years taken by some guy with the same last name over a 15 year period as compared to Cargill, ADM, Conagra taking hundreds of MILLIONS in farm subsidies. I thought it was the small family farmer was the darling of the Liberal/Progressive crowd, what with Farm Aid Concert going into its 25th year now.

So I'm guessing that it's OK to be a small oppressed, distressed Family Farmer right up until you're a relative of Michele Bachmann (If in fact the recipient is even related)? Is that how it works? Only Progressive and Corporate Farmers get subsidies??? WELL IS IT????

So you don't like family farmers either?

FarmAid 25 was last year.

Can't you ever get the facts straight?

Again a failure to comprehend.

No one is questioning the legality of the subsidies. No one is questioning the legitimacy of the subsidies. What is being questions is why you would accept subsidy money if you are against the subsidy. That is what they call hypocrisy.

Correct and since Farm Aid is not until August the concert has been held annually for 25 years. On August 14 when Farm Aid 26 is over it will have been held for 26 years. Want to borrow a calculator?

Family Farms are the back bone of America, unless some one the Liberal/Progressive media machine decides to blindly hate who's relative might own one..

Apparently my fact are straight. Straight from the Farm Aid Website

Farm Aid: Family farmers, good food, a better America

Farm Aid features the best that music has to offer, while remaining true to its ultimate mission. 25 years of great music, supporting farmers, and strengthening America

Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised more than $39 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on their land.

Anything Else?

I call it GOOD BUSINESS!

Truth is if I only sold to people/companies who met my personal moral standards I'd be starving to death. There's no moral dilemma here, it's business just as pure and simple as GE and Jeffrey Immelt pays no corporate Income tax. Government makes the rules, Business and individuals try to leverage those rule to their advantage.

It's only hypocrisy when it's someone like Michele Bachmann. You want to discuss hypocrisy on the left, best let USAviation know so they can erect another server or two.

 

[Ms Tree]

Not really. Its only hypocrisy if my guy does it. If your guy does it It's OK. Do what I say not as I do.

We get it. You hate liberals and love conservatives. You do not need to keep repeating the same old stuff.

Then it would be going into its 26th year.

Can you tell when you are being needled?

 

[delldude]

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

Much like Obama then?

And how many mid-west Congressmen and Senators who obviously held farms or other viable interests in local industries related to farming out there are also hypocrites?

 

[Ms Tree]

Yes. Just like Obama. What's your Point? I do not recall anyone touting Obamas business record.

Not sure. How many other Congress persons are taking government hand outs while condemning them? I am sure you have a list since you brought it up.

Perhaps because he doesn't have one. I did find a definition that is a perfect description of the Empty Suit though, here it is.

par·a·site
   [par-uh-sahyt]
–noun
1. an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

2.a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of others.

3.(in ancient Greece) a person who received free meals in return for amusing or impudent conversation, flattering remarks, etc.

Not clue one! In the Midwest farm/ethanol subsidies are a way of life. A rural version of inner city welfare and food stamps

Neither does Bachmann from what I have been able to discover. So they are the same in that regard.

I know. I know. Liberal bad conservative good. Try tapping the needle. Your record player is playing the same old tune.

Because it's accurate and you don't like it. I've stated here on numerous occasions I'd have some personal difficulty voting for her BECAUSE of the Neo-Con socially conservative agenda that underlies a lot of her message.

If by some miracle she ends up with the Republican nomination against the Empty Suit and Ron Paul doesn't run as a Libertarian then I have to vote Michele Bachmann because her fiscal appeal overrides her social conservative agenda when contrasted against the Empty Suit.

 

[Ms Tree]

Yes. Accurate. That must be it.

 

[SparrowHawk]

Yes. Accurate. That must be it.

Oh it is, thanks to the Empty Suit and his morally bankrupt and soon to be fiscally bankrupt policies my income has dropped by nearly 30%. So please pardon me if I wouldn't piss down his throat if his heart was on fire.

Michele Bachmann is but one superior response to the F*cktard in the White House now. I don't hate anyone, but I'm pretty close to making an exception.
