Art Carney (and the rest of you who don’t get it) – that’s the point…it took connections in the government (Dems – as you say) to keep a privately owned business open. Walser’s business was not going under….GM (your government) was closing it. Your government was telling a privately owned business that they had to close up shop.

Of course, Bachmann stepped in to help a local dealership – she’s not contradicting herself. That’s what it took to save jobs in her district. Her point is that she and others (like Barney Frank) shouldn’t have to….private businesses that are making money and providing jobs in economic times like today should be allowed to operate, not be told they have to shut down by the government.

At what point does one not use the word “paranoid”? I am amazed that so many Americans are apathetic to the idea that the president of the US could fire the head of GM as if he were the Big Boss and yet not be upset. Whoa! You get what you asked for. Unfortunately, some ignore history of other countries and do not see where government take-overs lead. Fine. Those who condemn Bachmann and others who look long-term versus short-term obviously do not mind the possibility of 2nd or 3rd world status here. When they age and find they can no longer expect medical care to enhance their lives (hip replacements, kneed replacements, laser surgery for macular degeneration), they may realize then that their children and grandchildren will reap the rewards of their acceptance of big government and massive spending and–essentially–an America totally unlike the one in which they grew up, the one that people of all other nations fight to move into. Too bad. Because of what’s happening now, we truly are losing independence and strength. Oh, well, fewer will come here; I suppose that’s a good thing. America as it was intended is gone.

Isn’t it funny that anyone who doesn’t agree with the current administration can so easily be labelled a “nutcase.” She is a woman, so she must be all the more crazy. Just throw her in the same goup as sarah Palin, who also has a target on her back.

What this woman is saying makes sense! The government has no right to decide which car dealerships stay open or close! These dealerships should be free to succeed or fail on thier own.

Bachmann has been criticized for lobbying on behalf of some dealerships top stay open now? What should she do? This is the system that the governmnet set up, and it is wrong. Let’s forget about whether these dealerships supported the democrats or not. IT IS WRONG FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO CHOOSE WICH ONES STAY OPEN OR CLOSE!

How long will the democrats blame the last administration? 4 yrs? 8 yrs? Personally, I believe the country was better off prior to Nov. 08. We cannot spend our way out of this mess. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Yes American people. The so called liberl movement of the 60’s and 70’s did not support Facism!

Next it will be healthcare, then other business. Soon all of our salaries will be determined by the government. The middle class will foot the bill and be hurt yet again. Hardworking Americans will be forced into government run clinics alongside gang members, while the wealthy will still pay for private insurance, including Obama. Healthcare is a privledge, not a right. If you are a gangmember who deals drugs brutalizes and murders, you do not deserve healthcare. If you are in this country illegally, you do not deserve healthcare. GET A JOB. Why don’t we give tax breaks to employers who pay for healthcare and make it affordable by free market competition.

There are too many out there who work the system. We have drug dealers who are on SSI. I know an entire family who collects SSI. They boast and call it “Stupid Money” they purposely act like they cannot spell their own name. This government run system is flawed, god help us all if they are in control of our healthcare. I feel like I’m living in the “Twilight Zone” and everyone has drak the koolaid! WAKE UP! Smack yourselves in the face!

Thank you Michele for standing up for the free market in America. Someone needs to stand up to these communists….err I mean progressives. Chicago thug politics has been brought mainstream America and we’ll all pay dearly.

Welcome to Fascism .. many of you seem to think this is a political game .. to me this is not a left/ right issue.. this is an Americans issue.. the American Dream is DEAD .. Liberty is DEAD,,, Government has no business interfering with propping up failed banks, failed car producers, failed news media… picking and choosing which businesses get subsidized.. which get taxed more than another .. this is not what I consider equal rights nor equal protection … Individual Sovereignty is DEAD and mob rule has overtaken the scene… the next stop is revolution .. and then Dictatorship.
Bye Bye American Pie.. welcome the the USSA … soon to be a third world wanna be nation..

Whenever Michele Bachmann surfaces I am embarassed to admit being from Minnesota. Next time I am in the state I will stay away from her district because it has way to many people from the lunatic fringe if she can be re-elected.

The Republicans should pay her to keep her mouth shut and stay off TV if they want to regain credibility instead of riling up the far right of their right of center party.

Sounds like a bunch of left/right nonesense.

Deal with the information.

Stop labeling everything and detail with the information.

I have to say that Michelle painted the sinking of the Titanic very vividly. Now I don’t even have to rent the movie anymore because she spoiled the end of it for me.
