Well that was once of the more interesting pieces of sewage that flowed down the Progressive drain

She is a politician. Why would anyone expect her statements to be any more consistent with her actions than other politicians. They will lie and tell you what ever you want to hear so that you will vote for them.

She is no better or worse than the rest of them. I think her politics suck in my opinion but Im sare there are people who think she is the cats mow and could care less that her history does not match her politics.

They lie. Why are people surprised? The voters are idiots and do not care. They are told what they want to hear and they are happy. That is all the counts.

Sitting president completely blows Medal of Honor tribute & corrupt MSM covers it up. Instead we get 24/7 John Wayne-gate.

I'm still waiting for someone to ask her about all the money her family has received from farm subsidies. That's more important IMHO than idiotic comments about John Wayne Gacy.

Calling Bachman a Progressive is a stretch.

She was asked. I saw an interview with an older silver haired guy (can't think of his name at the moment). She dodged the question and latched on to the limo BS mentioned in the factcheck link.

She has no interest in answeringthat question because it does not go with the new Bachmann. At some point she will have to address it. Better now than later but politicians do not seem to grasp the idea of honesty or the fact that the longer they dodge or lie, the bigger and issue it becomes.

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.

She's a clown, unelectable.

 

[Ms Tree]

Who said it was not legally obtained? You are as bad as she is at addressing the question that are asked. She is against government subsidies and she profited from those subsidies. That is the question. No one has said it was illegal. No one except you to dodge the issue. The only thing being said is that she is a politician and a hypocrite but I am repeating my self.

Bachmann probably does not have a chance once she starts having to answer the hard questions she does not want to answer. Then she will probably start to fade.

I'm going to be brutally candid with you. Until I moved out here I agreed with your short but what I felt to be an accurate assessment.

She's barely 5 feet tall and yet when she walks in a room she has what the Military calls "Command Presence", Others call it charisma and she has got it in gobs.

I'm NOT a giant fan of her views on many things but she has the ability to get things done. They've been fornicating around with building this new bridge across one of the rivers that runs under I-94. You had environmentalists opposing it because it would destroy the view of some wealthy folks vacation homes they felt. Then you had the state that didn't want to kick in their portion of the funds for fiscal reasons and of course you had the folks pushing the bridge as a jobs plan. Well they were all bitching about this bridge and some asked for Bachmann's help. So she sticks here nose in finds out what the deal is & Wham construction starts in earnest next spring.

Like her or don't she effective.

She's the Congress Critter next district over from mine and she is highly respected here and frankly knows how to get things done.

Why don't you share some of Bachmann's accomplishments with the rest of the class. Any significant piece of legislation passed by her from either her time in congress or in the state senate will do.
