Bachmann....crazier than ever

Bachmann has had some really juicy stuff that she has said lately. false one's about Keith and Obama among others. Take a look at my blog roll. Read the link DUMP MICHELE BACHMANN

That Being said. Her fear mongering has done her well in the camp0aign office. She raised more than 300,000 dollars in the first quarter of the year. This is on top of another quarter million in the bank reports the MN INDY

"It's just wrong" - says MIT economist about Bachmann

G.O.P. leaders in the house have perpetually been using a $3128 figure to try and scare people into not supporting the cap and trade system that is being proposed by Obama and the Democratic leadership. Most recently was our own crazy lady Michele Bachmann. She decided in yesterday's Oped that she would perpetuate the wrong numbers used by the GOP that crunch two irrelevant numbers.

Bachmann and her friends use a number ($3128 per household) that nowhere can be found in the M.I.T. report. This number in fact was debunked by the MIT economist John Reilly in an article by the St. Petersburg Times more than two weeks ago.

"It's just wrong," said John Reilly, an energy, environmental and agricultural economist at M.I.T. and one of the authors of the report. "It's wrong in so many ways it's hard to begin."

Not only is it wrong, but he told the House Republicans it was wrong when they asked him.

"Someone from the House Republicans had called me (March 20) and asked about this," Reilly said. "I had explained why the estimate they had was probably incorrect and what they should do to correct it, but I think this wrong number was already floating around by that time."

The report by MIT used a figure 100 times smaller than the Bachmann number. The average increase per household would come out to be $30.89. That is an absolute world of difference. 100 times larger than the MIT figure, really? How many flaming pants can we send to her before she gets the message?

So basically, here we see another stumble with Congresswoman Bachmann, with nearly 20 staff in her office and additional staff in her campaign, you think they could come up with a number that supports what the researcher at MIT used. In fact the article in the SPT is from the 24th of March, in my opinion plenty of time to get your facts straight. Making up and misrepresenting numbers is lying. There is noway around it. Bachmann is doing herself no favors by taking false information from talking points and perpetuating them in the media.

It is pretty evident that Bachmann will continue to advance her slanted agenda, News outlets need to be aware of her figures vs the ones that actually exist. I invite her to use figures that may support her political agenda, but don't use numbers that make a liar out of yourself. Bachmann needs to get her numbers straight,and the Strib needs to fact-check when they publish articles like this.

P.S. - sorry for the blog vac. -I've been swamped with other responsibilities

Michele Bachman - don't they send these people to school?

I know someone of you have seen this all over the internet already. It makes me wonder how such a person could just sleep through civics class and then get elected to serve 600,000 constituents. Michele Bachmann is dangerous, not because shes tactical, but because she is so misinformed and controversial. They need her to read the constitution.

Article I, section 8 says, "The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."

That includes the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, creating the central banking system. It also includes the legislation passed by Congress that gives th Treasury dept. executive power and money.

The Republicans need to vet this lady before she opens her mouth. It just becomes awkward and embarrassing to the entire minority party.

Michele bachmann - Just can't shut her mouth can she?

The more she speaks, the more [pick your adjective: comical, sad, stupid, party line, alienating] it gets. Shes pulled all stops this time, equating some of the best Presidents including Johnson and FDR to socialism. even further than that she used this "socialism" argument to connect Obama with such radicals as Bill Ayers. So basically what Michelle Bachmann would like you to believe is that Obama isn't trying to act in the best interest of the United States as President, but rather trying to make us a "socialist" society to please lefty radicals.



She said, “But what I think we’re seeing is an implementation of all of the radical ideas that Bill Ayers and Ward Churchill — the radical ideas that we’ve seen on some college campuses, they’re now being implemented in our government, and they’re taking a nefarious route when it looks at the economic recovery.” Reports Mn Independent






I think I have figured out what Bachmann does. She gets her talking points from the House Minority Leadership and takes everything that the talking points might imply and blatantly spews them out. She lets those talking points float around in her head until she can tell us "her opinion," which is more or less connecting the dots that only exist in her head.

Bachmann is misinformed or just lying thru her teeth

Michele Bachmann should be ashamed of herself. She spews all sorts of lies. This clip is another example of how Rep. Bachmann does care about the truth, only her partisan agenda.

here is the audio:
Some of the lies in this audio

ACORN
Bachmann: I mean, if you think, ACORN - this is a group that's under Federal indictment...

Baker: Unbelievable

Bachmann: ...for voter fraud. ACORN - they've received a total of $53 million in direct Federal Grants since 1994. Do you know how much they're getting under this (the stimulus) bill?

Baker: Like $4 billion, I've heard.

Bachmann: $5 Billion.

Baker? $5 billion?

Bachmann: For ACORN.

ACORN is not under investigation by the Justice Dept. Further, there is absolutely no money in the bill for ACORN

Jobs in Minnesota:

Bachmann claims that the stimulus drains jobs away from Republican districts and funnels them into Democratic Districts. But look

Minnesota 66,000

Congressional District 1 Minnesota 7,800
Congressional District 2 Minnesota 9,200
Congressional District 3 Minnesota 8,300
Congressional District 4 Minnesota 7,700
Congressional District 5 Minnesota 7,900
Congressional District 6 Minnesota 9,500
Congressional District 7 Minnesota 7,500
Congressional District 8 Minnesota 8,100
