Quite the contemptuous comments from Bachmann’s leading critic.

Bachmann lives in a $1.25 million mansion on Stoneridge Golf Course. You can look it up. Not bad on a congresswoman's salary and small clinic. And she collects federal farm subsidies too. And provides no health insurance for their clinic employees. Bachmann has been on the government dole her whole life, yet she condemns it every day. Pals around with Pat Robertson too. You know, the guy whpo said that Haiti made a pact with the devil and that's why they're suffering. What a phony Bachmann and her pal Robertson are.

John, did Congresswoman Bachmann receive these alleged subsidies illegally? Also, as quoted in the Star Tribune “It's no surprise that Bachmann finds herself in the left's cross hairs. She is everything its zealots most despise: a woman who flaunts feminist orthodoxy and dares to advocate limited government, free markets and traditional marriage. For insight into what's on the horizon, we can look to Colorado. There, a cabal of Democratic activists, led by high-tech mogul Tim Gill, has masterminded a potent new political strategy that's "redefining liberal politics," according to Time magazine. The Colorado model is fueled by unprecedented piles of money, contributed by a clubby group of multimillionaires. It uses left-wing nonprofit organizations, rather than traditional Democratic Party channels, to get its message to voters. Its scorched-earth tactics range from smear ads that twist the facts to trumped-up charges of ethical violations. If the left brings the Colorado model to Minnesota, Bachmann's constituents in places such as St. Cloud might like to know that attacks against her are being fueled by fat cat donors from places such as New York City. Yet in 2010, the Colorado model may lose some of its steam as issues trump big bucks. In Virginia and New Jersey, voters recently elected Republican governors and rejected Democrats, whom they perceived as more negative, according to pollsters. Next time around, Democrats may run into their own buzz saw.” - I agree with a statement Brown from Massachusetts who reminded Coakley lately. “It’s the people’s seat.’’ - the same can be said for Minnesota- these Colorado and New York interfering outsider will run into their own buzz saw here!
