..."Michele Bachmann, a three-term congresswoman from Minnesota, is known as much for her conservative views (homosexuality is a "dysfunction" and President Barack Obama is turning America into a "nation of slaves") as for the enmity she arouses in liberals.

As ABC News reports, Bachmann, the founder and chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus, will travel to Iowa this month "to seek advice from political forces there and party elders close to the caucus process before coming to a final decision" on whether or not to throw her hat into the ring. If her past decision-making is any indiciation, she will also have a direct consultation with God..."

..."On November 2, 2010 the American people voted to usher in a new Congress and a new way of doing business in Washington.

Under Nancy Pelosi’s Speakership the Republican minority and the American people witnessed Democrats pushing through devastating changes that affected Wall Street and Main Street.

We saw the debt grow from $8.67 trillion to almost $14 trillion.

Bills were introduced in the dark of night without the transparency that was promised.

Now a new majority is taking the reins and it’s time for action.

We need to rollback Pelosi’s furthest-reaching legislation, staring with a vote next week to repeal Obamacare and its 2,000 pages of loopholes and legalese.

I will introduce a repeal of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, which was another expansion of the federal government beyond its jurisdictional boundaries.

It puts a wealth of control in the hands of regulators.

Democrats unwisely allowed bureaucrats to become the interpreters and enforcers of the convoluted law.

The 112th Congress must lead with three main sentiments the American people have been emphasizing: One, don’t spend more than we take in; two, we’re taxed enough already; and three, Congress must adhere to the Constitution.

The Republican majority has a great opportunity to demonstrate true fiscal responsibility over the coming months as we present a new budget.

Cutting member office budgets by 5% and requiring new legislation to have a “cut-as-we-go” offset is a good start, but more drastic measures will be required.

The American people see too much of their own money going to Uncle Sam.

That's why I am introducing the End Tax Uncertainty Act of 2011.

My bill will permanently extend current tax rates for all Americans, repeal the death tax and gift tax, and prevent a tax increase on the maximum tax rate for capital gains and dividends income for all.

It will also reduce the corporate tax rate to twenty-five percent.

With Japan’s announced decrease in their corporate tax rate, the U.S. will soon have the highest corporate tax rate soon if Congress doesn’t act.

It’s also time to renew our commitment to the Constitution that we are swearing today to support and defend.

Like sports teams who practice their trade, so should members of Congress regularly learn about our founding documents.

I will be hosting Constitutional Seminars, featuring the teachings of legal scholars like Justice Antonin Scalia. I’m inviting all members to attend, both Republicans and Democrats.

I’m also inviting my colleagues to join the Tea Party Caucus, which I formed last summer to listen to the voices of the American people.

The American people elected us to represent them and we must continue to listen and truly value what they say.

The 112th Congress will be dramatically different than the preceding Congress and I have great hope it will pass legislation to undo the monstrosities produced under Nancy Pelosi.

The Republican majority has much work to do, but if it continues to listen to the American people, cuts spending, taxes less, and renews our focus on the Constitution, this Congress can bring real change to Washington."

..."data compiled from federal records by Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog that tracks the recipients of agricultural subsidies in the United States, shows that Bachmann has an inner Marxist that is perfectly at ease with living on the government dole. According to the organization’s records, Bachmann’s family farm received $251,973 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2006. The farm had been managed by Bachmann’s recently deceased father-in-law and took in roughly $20,000 in 2006 and $28,000 in 2005, with the bulk of the subsidies going to dairy and corn. Both dairy and corn are heavily subsidized—or “socialized”—businesses in America (in 2005 alone, Washington spent $4.8 billion propping up corn prices) and are subject to strict government price controls. These subsidies are at the heart of America’s bizarre planned agricultural economy and as far away from Michele Bachmann’s free-market dream world as Cuba’s free medical system. If American farms such as hers were forced to compete in the global free market, they would collapse.

However, Bachmann doesn’t think other Americans should benefit from such protection and assistance. She voted against every foreclosure relief bill aimed at helping average homeowners (despite the fact that her district had the highest foreclosure rate in Minnesota), saying that bailing out homeowners would be “rewarding the irresponsible while punishing those who have been playing by the rules.” That’s right, the subsidy queen wants the rest of us to be responsible.

Bachmann’s financial disclosure forms indicate that her personal stake in the family farm is worth up to $250,000. They also show that she has been earning income from the farm business, and that the income grew in just a few years from $2,000 to as much as $50,000 for 2008. This has provided her with a second government-subsidized income to go with her job as a government-paid congresswoman who makes $174,000 per year (in addition to having top-notch government medical benefits). “If she has an interest in a farm getting federal subsidy payments, she is benefiting from them,” Sandra Schubert, director of government affairs for the Environmental Working Group, told Gannett News Service in 2007, when the subsidies to Bachmann were first publicly disclosed...

I wonder if this is accurate?
 
Cant the Cons come up with a canidate who is a fiscal conservative and social libertarian?

Why do they all have to try to make it up the political ladder on the backs of gay people....
 
Hot damn, man I hope Palin runs too.

Can you imagine these two dimwits sratching it out.

It will be like being in the girls bathroom after school.
 
...""There was a real question, even 18 months ago, about whether the Tea Party would become a third party.

I worked really hard to pull them to our party because we have to have a two-party system.

I have been able to bring a voice and motivate people to, in effect, put that gavel in John Boehner's hands, so that Republicans can lead going forward..."
