Guess Michelle wants to go back to the questions on the original (1790) census:

How many white males over the age of 16 in the household?
How many white males under the age of 16?
How many females?
How many slaves?
All other free persons? (African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, Jews).

The difference in the over 16 and under 16 was to give a count of males who could serve in the military.

And when they receive less Federal funding her constituents can thank her if she's not already in the loony bin.

Look on the bright side if universal health care in America becomes a reality maybe Bachmann can get the medical help she so desperately needs.

Just Revealed! She is anti-census because she is illegal immigrant! We demand she provide birth certificate! She is from small village in Ghana! All make sense now.

If she's so bothered by the government prying into our personal lives, then where was her outrage at the idea of wiretapping Americans? And why then is she against gay marriage? Two people love each other, but the government says no to marriage, seems like an intrusion to me.

A lot of people object to gay getting "married" because it is a WORD that defines a union between a man and a woman. Most Americans do not object to a gay union. Just coin your own phrase for that union. And, then all the laws will be changed to say "marriage" between heterosexuals and "civil union" for homosexuals. Please let that word be reserved for those of us who feel that marriage is between a man and a woman. I support gay unions. I do not support the word marriage as a word used to define gay unions. Don't confuse people's feelings towards gay rights.

Yeah the gays being allowed to marry ruined Ensign's and Sandford's marriages you betcha!

I received a letter one day from the SS administration. I was so shocked to see that they were able to accurately account for all the money I made each year I had been working. I was shocked when I spoke with the IRS rep that he was able to see all of this information about my life over the phone. He even told me what years I had not filed. I was shocked to see that when I went to wire money at western union that they knew what type of car I had and how much money I made. All that had to be verified just to wire the money! If she thinks any aspect of our lives is indeed kept secret...she has a rude awakening coming!

I spent some time working as a WU agent; what you say is totally untrue.

Try not to contaminate your posts with utter fabrications.

Ok you and I may be different. they read off a list to me of different cars and I had to choose mine out of it, they asked me if I had a mortgage and all! Why would I lie about that? I was wiring over the phone so I guess there was a different process. I was and still am shocked that WU had me verify my make and model of my vehicle!

It's not just Bachmann, she's got Ted Poe signing on to her brand of insanity.

I liked Ted Poe when he was a judge in Harris County. He had a creative bent to his sentencing style. But as a politician he has proven that marching to a different drummer can be a bad thing.
