Bachmann is nuts. She doesn't understand the need for minimum wage, she was obsessed with Bush - hanging on him, bragging about getting kisses from him, she wanted the media to do a witch hunt for anti-american politicians, she can't even smile decent - no reason to show the world her molars, her botox job is pathetic - nobody looks that excited 24/7.....she may be a good person at heart, and she may have a brain that works well at times....but her clutch is shot!

"and she did little to control the bad behavior of radicals"... "and hung racisit and hatefilled comments at their rivals"...joe r, have you ever read your own comments, it's would be comical if it wasn't so sad. It reminds me of a saying I heard once: People find fault in others in areas that THEY have a problem.

Its all good Larry. But what about this mess with the census? I guess from my perspective it seems like she often speaks with out thinking and I am not sure that is always good.

Greg you are one of those who does not get it, anyone endorsing a canidate who can make radical and misinformed information as a way to insight voters who could very well act out on their frustrations in violence are playing a dangerous and unprofessional game. I could care less if your a conservative or Democratic these comments are frauds, and disceptions soken to derail the people into thinking there are anti American people inflitrationing our government which in turns could in fact cause unrest, and violence especially when the comments are false, and have little or no facts. I feel sorry for people who support these women because she is playing a dangerous game that has had her own party qestioning her, on why she is doing things that is making her party bad looking! she needs Plain. She is hoping Palin will help her over come her stupid, and irresonsible, anti-Amrican comments, Plain is the last person who should support a radical such as Bachman, simply bcause her negativity fueled calls for blood whenever she drew crowds on the presidental campaign trail, and she did little to control the bad behavior of radicals who assaulted other who did not agree and hung racisit and hatefilled comments at their rivals. There is something wrong with people who condone this radical sickness that is done out of frustration. Lets bounce this radical Bauhman out and whatever party takes over because better tach, and more concern sense for the people they will represent willmake a change.

Brett I found the answer to the question about a short or long census form on the Immelman For Congress website: "Second, Bachmann is confusing the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey (ACS), a long-form survey sent out to one in 40 households (0.0028 percent of the American public) each year. The Census, sent out once every ten years, asks only about one’s age, race, and the type of home one lives in. The ACS, started in 1996, collects more detailed data used to distribute more than $300 billion in federal funds to local communities." Why would Rep. Bachmann make such a statement using the wrong form?

There appears to be a reasonable challenger to Bachmann. http://www.immelman.us/ Interested to hear other thoughts on this St. Johns Professor who is seaking the GOP Endorsement.

Larry I really am not trying to debate Dem vs. Rep. I thought I was asking a respectful question and I was seeking some better understanding. I am not sure why it can't be answered.

Brett come on man how exactly am I "slamming" Bachmann? Did she not suggest that some in congress maybe anti-american? Again I am trying to figure out what makes her so appealing. If we ar reduced a House seat and it would come down to either Bachmann or John Kline who would you choose? As far as the Census goes I am only sharing what I found from those two sites. I don't know what your complaint is with that?

that letter from paulson has to be one of the dumbest I have seen. why do some letters to the editor make it online and others don't? the tea party now has more followers than either the dems or reps, and bachmann is one of the prime leaders of that movement. she says all that is legally needed on the census is list the number of people living at the address, not how many bathrooms there are, or other ridiculous questions
