Michele Bachmann Used Taxpayer Money For Tea Party Rally

Roll Call:

According to House expense reports, Bachmann and three conservative GOP colleagues -- Reps. Tom Price (Ga.), Steve King (Iowa) and Todd Akin (Mo.) -- each paid $3,407.50 that day, a total of $13,630, to a sound and stage company called National Events, apparently for the sound system used at the rally.

Wow what is wrong with this ? Nothing! It is a press conference.You libs are just grasping for 1 little straw of evidence not even sound evidence at that and trying to base your whole case on something that is nothing at all.

Michele Bachmann, Tom Price, Steve King, and Todd Akin, need to send in your resignation letters to John Boehner, then they need to pay back the money you stole from the tax payers, or face Grand larceny charges,

Grand larceny is typically defined as larceny of a more significant amount of property. In the US, it is often defined as an amount valued at $400 or more. In New York, grand larceny refers to amounts of $1,000 or more. Grand larceny is often classified as a felony with the concomitant possibility of a harsher sentence.

Michelle Bachmann used taxpayer money for her campaign ? Well, maybe this will shed a little light on the taxpayer abuse perpetrated by Michelle Obama ! Don't try and contact Michelle Obama for comment; she's probably flying on AirForce 1. The taxpayer's have puttng with that!!!

So she has a history of corruption? I'm having a hard time seeing how she is going to separate herself from the rest of the dedicated GOP pack. Isn't lying and hypocrisy par for the course of any political organization?

I sometimes wish we could turn the congress into an MTV reality show, voting off the worst performers every week and then at the end only the top twenty surviving finalists would get their pay. The top member of the house and senate would then go to a Presidential run finale episode.

How ironic: abusing taxpayer money to support a party that is against the misuse of taxpayer money

She can write a check and pay for it why would she bill the government?

She broke the law. She should resign.
A. Weiner did not break the law, but had to resign.
Republican John McGee stole and drove away with a truck while drunk. Is a resignation in order?

The way it works in America is that if you mess up or lie about your personal life, which we honestly have no business knowing, then you must resign, risk being impeached, etc. But if you lie to the people about the things that matter most and affect our country, then you get reelected.

I don't know if you're coming at this from a liberal, conservative, or libertarian approach, but I totally agree with you in principle.
