Right on. What really needs to change is the media sources allowing her to spread her lies. She goes on TV, any network, and tells lies which have been disproven repeatedly. For example, she gets on TV every week calling the $700B stimulus a huge failure and waste of money. Most Economist disagree with her, But what do they know right? The CBO stated that the majority of the money given to banks has been repaid and that the final cost will be somewhere around $25 billion. That is roughly 3.6% of the $700 billion. It saved the country from a depression. What value can we place on that? The Bush Tax Cuts have costed 30 times that and guess what TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMIC POLICIES DO NOT WORK.

Here, I’ll save you any further posts by summing up your stance: “Anyone who disagrees with me is stupid.”

There. That pretty much sums that up.

The people in her district need to realize that she is not representing them. The average household income in her districts is $70k. Only 4.5% of her constituents make over $200k. All the tax cuts she’s fighting over only protect the very rich on the backs of the rest. She fights to protect the very rich and very powerful. She is not fighting for the average person in her district, They need to realize that when she talks about lowering taxes she is not referring to the average minnesotan. Recall the fight over the bush tax cuts at the end of last year? Republicans would not approve anything unless they were extended for THE MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. Obama only wanted them extended for the bottom 95%.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Really, spot on my rear end! Duh!

the architect that is the best sarcastic post i have read you should go write for hannity or maybe the beckster no i think rush limpbough would be more your cup of tea

hahahahhahahaha, what have you been smoking?

Take a look at this http://www.politifact.com/personalities/michele-bachmann/
you can check for yourself how often she goes on TV and makes false statements. Either she is very ignorant and has a bunch of idiots advising her or she knowingly lies to make her case.

This is why this country has been going down for the last 30 yrs. First it was Ray Gun, with his trickle down economics (tax cuts for the rich) that has been tried 20 times over the last 30 years and left us with 13 trillion in debt , including the 1.8 trillion in tax cuts Dumbya gave the rich. And made income inequality greater than at any time in our history . Clinton turned it around. Our economy boomed, and if his budget had been continued by Dumbya we would have no national debt right now. But instead he left us with 10 trillion in debt when the jerk left office. The republicans since Ray Gun also deregulated the Wall Street investment bankers and the commercial banks that sold them their junk home loans and opposed entirely the regulation of the derivatives market . And we all know how that came out . So we can also blame the part of the debt the stimulus money caused, that had to be spent by Obama, to save the world economy from total collapse on the crook republicans too. Not Obama. We finally got another Democrat in the white house that I hoped could turn it around and what does the moronic electorate do? They vote in a bunch of tea party right wing extremists into the house of reps to oppose everything he has tried to do . The republicans have opposed all stimulus spending to get the economy going now, And there will be another crash thanks to them. Just like they did in 1936 to president Roosevelt when the economy took a double dip when they opposed his stimulus programs. It took WWII to get enough stimulus spending to get us out of that depression. And even though our national debt back then ,(WWII) as a percentage of our GDP , was 40% higher than it is now , our economy boomed as it did in no other time in our history and did so for over 30 yrs. Then Nixon got in and we know what happened then. He printed up money to bump up the economy before his re-election and did so like at no other time in history. Which later caused runaway inflation. And then did nothing to stop it . Even made it worse. Carter then came along and sacrificed his presidency by appointing Paul Volker as fed chairman, who hiked interest rates enough to stop the runaway inflation. But because nothing had been done about it all those years under Nixon/Ford, it took till 1982 before inflation finally was broken . And of course , Ray Gun took all the credit. But I still have hope that someday the brainwashed middle class republicans will be able to see the lies and distrortions of the rich (who are really the constituency of the Republican party) . Maybe after they can’t get ahead for many more years despite working 2 jobs 7 days a week it will begin to dawn on them that they are the biggest suckers in human history. And go back to voting like they did in the 40′s 50′s and 60′s when our economy flourished like no time before or since. And their was a true middle class that flourished with single income families of several children per family. I remember those days. Take me back . Please.

LOL

That commenter used another person’s typical name and posted something ridiculous so you would attribute it to that other person, and sure enough you did.

I hate to tell you “FREE STUFF”, but you’re in the minority…..how does that feel?

but it’s o k for bachman and her gay husband to accept subsidies for their 2 clinics and also a subsidie for the family farm??????? Isn’t this just glorified welfare? WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

we all can only hope that you and your kind have a catastrophic event in your life and you need help from anyone and they tell you your free stuff is gone then think back to your moronic comment

What free stuff? I am retired and I don’t get any free stuff! In fact I’m a moderate conservative! Put that in your pipe and cough on it!

I am a proud liberal Democrat. I work 3 jobs, and have a small business of my own. I have 2 degrees (Sociology/ Agriculture) and am very proud of living in this nation and being active in my union. What I am NOT proud of is the way we continue to point the finger of blame at the wrong groups. Why do we continue to be angry at those on welfare, unemployment, disability, social security, pension, etc demanding that they and the small amount of help they receive is the main root cause of our nation’s economic woes. But yet we continue to give major tax breaks and concessions to businesses to move jobs off-shore, close factories and businesses in this nation, and make certain that the wealthiest among us pay the least?

I will continue to be a “Bottom Feeding Liberal Loser” because the way most of the selfish rants I read from your uncaring lot makes me very doubtful for the future of this nation.

Here’s a real one. 10% of Americans fall below the poverty line. 2% of all Americans own over 90% of all the Wealth in America. Are you the same person who claimed that there are no taxes on Rent?

Free stuff, your a part of the tea party, judging by the way you speak I can be sure that you are not wealthy. Rather, you are angry at the trickle down system currently in place. The democrats do not support it, you need to redirect your anger toward the RIGHT people. I’m a St. Thomas U Grad and make a good living. Democrat does not mean poor. The majority (over 50%) of our state tend be democratic. We are a wealthy state, I can assure T.P. and their ideology had nothing to do with it. It was thanks to common sense Republicans and Democrats.

Serial killer? Is that the best you can fabricate?

Every time she opens her mouth all I can see is her hair roots.

You rats are unreal. I am the tea party, and I don’t know who the Koch brothers are nor do I care. Do not try to smother this common sense movement with your BS. God you people are such losers. Do you not understand there is no money left?

I take it your question was just rhetorical, since you answered it yourself. Now that we know your view, I’ll give you mine: Yes, I think Bachmann would be an effective president and commander-in-chief.

Why don’t you just go f-

Wait, you might have a point there.

Really, I thought Bruce just gave you a job the other day?

How do you figure?

Would take a long time and a lot bigger words than you would understand to explain it.

Even though Obama is not Muslim (and there is nothing wrong with being Muslim) I’d rather have an intelligent muslim president than an IDIOTIC HYPOCRITICAL RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST PRESIDENT whom only cares about improving the economy for the TOP 2%.

Excellent post.

It’s not about “raising” taxes on the rich and corporations, it’s about closing the loop holes that allow these corporations not to pay income tax at all. And, by the way, how would one distinguish between a democrat or a republican of a corporation? There is not a box you check when filing as a corporation.

Lost interest part way in. Am sure it’s important, though. Seemed to be lots of years and trillions. Good going.

I agree Pat must like Obama our kids will pay for this out of control spending.Just look at the stock market this deal did nothing for the USA!!!In fact in fact our AAA will be going a AA soon.
