Rep. Michele Bachmann Says We Need Honest Accounting of Future Government Spending Obligations

[MendingMedia]

Who would have thought that the Meth head and bat shit crazy was such a strong Republican voting bloc.

where was she when bush was spending money murdering brown iraqis?

[weirdoscherich]

@MrTabby5000 She wasn't in congress then! She didn't get elected until 2006!

Bachmann is a loon. "Oh, no! The census!! They're gonna round you up!!!"

@demmmmm1

You're like a cancer. Too bad I can't be the surgeon that cuts you out of the body. Go away.

[demmmmm1]

@captaindiesalot But I thought you guys were in favor of free speech...oh, that's right. As long as it's free speech for the loons. Forget everybody else, right?

I'm with 'ya Frankie on this.

President Bush was no conservative. He spent far too much, while doing little more than telling the Congress to stop spending. But his deficits pale in comparison to Obama's.

[GOPofHawaii]

@AirCargoHeavy Well said.

[FrankieJGP]

@SevTSnape if you think I'm a Bush defender you got another thing coming. I am not blinded by partisanship. I also bashed Bush for the first "stimulus" package. That was the wrong thing to do. In terms of spending, Bush's biggest budgets (which were WAY too big) is still dwarfed by what Mr. Obama is doing!! He is spending us into oblivion. It needs to stop!! BTW I don't have amnesia.

@FrankieJGP most americans dont know the difference between conservative and republican or liberal and democrat. most americans think politics is something like football where you pick a team and root for them. these liberals will think youre conservative, and the conservatives will think youre liberal. when i opposed obama, i would hear antibush comments, surprised that i also didnt like bush they would revert to calling me racist. it truly amazes me how anyone is convinced by politicians.

[FrankieJGP]

@elmuhfuh true conservatives would understand that alot of Bush's positions were not conservative at all...like the stimulus package.

[elmuhfuh]

@FrankieJGP i thought everyone thought bush was a neocon when he was in office. but ya, a "true" anything would understand the truth.

[FrankieJGP]

Michele Bachmann has more guts and dignity than most politicians. She is absolutely correct regarding spending, taxes...etc. Obama, Pelosi and the others think they know how to spend your money better than you. Thank you Michele Bachman for your serving with dignity.

[SevTSnape]

@FrankieJGP more like you losers seem to have amnesia that it was you conservatives who gave us the deficit

[RanceSpergl]

@FrankieJGP

This is what I can't figure out about your thinking Frankie. You say "Obama etc...thiunk they know how to spend your money better than you". EWell, that's right isn't it? It's their job to know how to spend your money better than you. That's why we elect them, because you and I can't have the circumspection on how to spend the cash in a representative democracy.

What is it about the structure of the United States you don't understand?

[FrankieJGP]

@RanceSpergl "Well that's right isn't it?" No this is not right. I believe the government should be as small as possible. They are responsible for the obvious (military, police...etc). But when it starts to approach 50% of GDP, I hope you would agree that this is much too big. God help the next generations who have to pay for this. It is criminal.

@sage0857 We did.You just weren't listening.We loved the Bush first term.His second was a liberals dream.Repubs squandered the chance to correct the budget, real rights, freedom, and the overwhelming burden of government regulation while they had the majority and they paid for it by losing big in 2006. (Note that the policies did not change.)Proving that Repubs and Dems were one and the same. It's conservatism we seek, not a name brand.Rally behind Bachmann.She believes in the constitution.

[redcarpeg]

Absolutely right on! Ignore the "it happened under Bush so we should be able to do it too" nonsense. We don't care WHO is spending too much money right now, we just want it to STOP!!!

[JohnRhysMusician]

We do need to see the bills and amendments prior to them being voted on. We trust Republicans more for legislation, but we still need to be able to have the media review the bills prior to a vote.

[finerbiner]

@JohnRhysMusician Why? Because of the fiscal responsibility of the GOP in the last 30 yrs? Dem, GOP it makes no difference. Both parties have grown govt to the benefit of only themselves and big business.

The fiscally responsible GOP is nothing more than an old wives tale. Please educate yourself.

The closest thing we have had to fiscal responsibility in the last 30 yrs came from a GOP congress and a Dem president. Look it up!

[JohnRhysMusician]

@finerbiner I am aware of everything that you said and agree with the sentiment, but I don't see how that is relevant to my comment or this video.

Great lady...
