Sistah Michele Bachmann's Website Explains it All for You

Recently, Value-dictorian of the House of Representatives Michele Bachmann eloquently summarized our economic fears with her statement "We're running out of rich people!"

It's the phrase we have all been grappling for to encapsulate our feeling about this crisis but just couldn't find the words.

Now Americans all over the country making the Sophie's Choice of losing their healthcare or losing their homes, have a rallying cry.

Michele Bachmann, you da woman!

With insights like that I assumed that she had an elaborate plan to pull us out of this mess, so I went to her website to read all the details.

And there it was, right in the Taxes and Economy section:

It is a little thin on the details, but still gives us some insight into her keen legislative skills, and more important, who she is as a person.

Michele Bachmann: Content Coming Soon.

We are all breathless with anticipation.

I can't wait; these stories provide necessary comic relief!

[freddiefreeloader]

So whats going on here, uppity Obama, Obama the magic, monkeys getting shot,watermelons instead of easter eggs, Harold come up and see me, you da man, see a pattern developing from a certain party.?

[BEHM777]

I am not used to women being so publicly stupid, having been raised by and around strong, intelligent women. Most of my friends are strong, intelligent women. Michele Bachman and Sarah Palin totally mystify me, and NOT in a good way.

[Bananafarm]

This may surprise you, but women, much like men, are human beings. Human beings are a variegated species, and members of both genders have the potential to be intelligent or stupid, kind or rude, etc. etc.

Are all of you people who h8 the rich going to go crazy about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS when the rich start to hunker down and hold what they've got left. Oh wait I'm sure you can find a job with........hmmm.

[Xysea]

Wait, aren't they doing that now??? Which is why credit is not being extended? Hmm...

The fact is, no one hates the rich. They just want them to pay their fair share. And guess what? Rich people aren't the only employers in the US. A lot of people are self-employed. Or employed in the public sector.

Explain to me again why we must pander to everything the rich want and need in life?

[nodonjuan]

Because we have done it so much, for so long, they feel entitled to it.

[traveler501]

heck, I'd like to see them pay at all...let's talk UBS and the Bahamas!

[traveler501]

cool...nationalize the rich! you wanna pretend we are all communists...let's just go for it! LOL

[zanzig]

Eat the rich.

[Nickesq]

Oh, no, the Masters of the Universe are melting!

[mocha59]

Can't wait! Keep us posted!


gag, gag...

[o4tuna]

I wonder what her hip hop makeover and site remodel will look like? It should be FAH.

[roshni]

Her web site is as hollow as Jindal's speech.

[jamesarth1963]

I think that the Republican party has come to represent only the rich and well to do and it only adds to their pockets. They are completely out of touch and have lost any grasp of reality.
We as americans need to stand up and say enough.
Enough with separating our ideals into democrat and republican ideologies. Our nation is in a dire crisis and it is not going to be helped by any of the rich. So for the meantime..­."republic­ans, either get on board and help our nation as an american or take your huge bankroll and get out. We do not need to be patronized into classes as poor and middle class individuals." As President Obama has said before, we are not red or blue states we are the UNITED States. So lets start getting united. If you disagree with a policy, do not complain about it, come up with something better! Isn't that what our country was built on? Stop trying to protect your upcoming election. Because in the long run we will remember that you had no say in the rescue of our failing economy. so why should we vote for someone that is going to sit on their hands and not say anything about saving our country? Because the stimulus is not just about saving our economy, IT is about saving our country from becoming like all of the other civilizations that have disappeared from this earth.

[sedum]

Ya may not like it but that's what civilizations do. Always have. Always will.

Ya see, we've been listening to god when we should be listening to Mother Nature.

Aw well, when you've got little, you've got little to lose.

Getting the government COMPLETELY out of the health care business, COMPLETELY out of the education business and COMPLETELY out of the money business would go a long way towards restoring a stable economy. When people must pay privately for those goods and services which they privately consume and have a completely free choice in doing so it is difficult to engineer economic crises provided the government restricts itself to it's proper role of punishing theft by force or fraud and enforcing contracts.

[MikeBoyScout]

Right on STG44! Cuz Bernie Madoff & Allen Stanford proved that private consumption with private choices works so well.... oh yeah that didn't work out.

Oh, but here's another! Ayn Rand already told us how to do this! And Alan Greenspan is a RANDian and devotee and he..... oh yeah, that didn't work out so well either

Greenspan said: "Those of us who have looked to the self-interest ... to protect shareholder's equity -- myself especially -- are in a state of shocked disbelief." “I have found a flaw. I don’t know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very distressed by that fact.”

[TheLar]

You mean to tell me that people looking out for only themselves somehow doesn't equate to a fair economic structure?

That's it I'm putting Rush Limbaugh on THREE radios simultaneously, not just two like I usually do.

[Ridgemore]

Deforestation: running out of trees.
Obesity epidemic: running out of thin people.
Gobal warming: running out of cool years.

GOP running of of dumb voters.

[Todd Gerard]

The sad thing is...you're serious

[roshni]

That would be nice, but dumb voters take a long time to realize they are dumb.

[VikingQuest]

Shes right to a certain extent . . . Obama can't have a massive budget and expect only rich people to pay while the rest get tax cuts . . .

Taking every taxable "dime" of everyone earning more than $75,000 in 2006 would have barely yielded enough to cover that $4 trillion.

[Tkevan]

Forget facts. These folks don't want to here that. And remember, this is "just a down payment"

[Tkevan]

and they don't want to HEAR it either!

[SOLERSO68]

funny that the story was all about "fact", specifically the lack of any inside bachmans head. but you just go right on republicanizing about how we "libruls" are wrong on the "facts" without providing a single, true, verifiable specimen of any of them there thingys.

[Gino Pino]

seems she's run out of contents

[JGMadsen]

MIchele, you got it all wrong "Obama be da man."

[mocha59]

ROTFLMBO

Yeah....

[jdwoman]

Rep Bachmann and Governor Palin must have the same webmasters on their respective sites. No content on either site -- just photos and a place to donate money on Palin's PAC.

[learntofly]

Well It's got Bachmann's plan at the top of the page " Standing up for Minnesota". She was standing up wasn't she? LOL

[mitsie]

You've got that right.

[drumz]

Don't blame the webmaster, blame lies with the owner who is apparently unable to provide any content which is not surprising. I'm a Webmaster and I build sites and make sure they stay up and running but the client is responsible for supplying the content.

[lotechgma]

The whole republikan party is all style no substance. They don't know what reality is, because they all live in Oz, or down the rabbit hole. Republican leaders have no eartly idea how the common ordinary person lives. GWB often talked about poor people, like there was this huge disconnect... as if he had no knowledge what a poor person looks like. They don't know how to relate to the people that trickle down economics is supposed to trickle down to. And they don't know when the trickle down has reached it's end. Not only did the GOP President live in an isolated bubble, but the whole GOP does not know how to live beyond the walls of said bubble. The only hope for them is for their bubble to burst.

[pfrogger]

minor correction: perception of style over substance.
Palin has as much actual style as those pitbulls dressed up in cute outfits by their owner - it's amusing and that's about it.

[jpaultel]

And by the way, Michele Bachmann was wearing a sleeveless dress at CPAC. She is totally a sistah! Michele? She be da woman!
