		<description>BACHMANN:&quot; I’m not saying that’s what the Administration is planning to do. But I am saying that private, personal information that was given to the census bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up.&quot;

Reminds me of what Jon Stewart said about previous right-nut comments...
&quot;I&#039;m not saying your mother&#039;s a whore, I&#039;m just saying she&#039;s got money...&quot;</description>

		<description>As a Minnesotan, I would first like to say that I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS WOMAN.

I agree that it is in varying degrees information that the IRS has required, insurance companies, Census Bureau (e.g. not exactly late-breaking news). She must not realize that cumulatively, we as a people have already given out all this information at various points and will continue to do so. If people really want to &quot;hack&quot; into our information, they already have the means and the info they need.

I hate how (it seems mostly Republicans) love to instill fear and doubt in people with &quot;the system&quot;. You know how the news tends to report mostly negative information...? Ever notice how often Republicans are reported on and interviewed...? Ah hell, maybe I&#039;m just a paranoid, wingnut like the rest of em. Now there&#039;s a paradox. Doesn&#039;t exactly coincide with my bleeding heart liberal Woot shirt, though. Whatever.

But hey, if she can get away with breaking the law, that&#039;s good news for me because I have some things I would really like to be expunged from my record. Maybe she should have been the one killed in Beijing during the Olympics, not Todd Bachman.

Stop worrying. If you&#039;re worried, you aren&#039;t resourceful enough to prevail in the face of adversity anyway. You&#039;ve been doomed long before these crazy Democrats gained control and set the Earth on a collision course with the Sun. Did that come off as extreme? Sound familiar?

On a final note, if Republicans didn&#039;t want a Democrat leader, why didn&#039;t more Republicans vote and avert this travesty? Stop being typical, take responsibility for your actions and blame yourselves, no one else.

Did I mention I make the Hip Hops? Yeah, I make the Hip Hops.</description>

I fail to understand what a &quot;fundamentalist Christianist&quot; has to do with not answering personal Census questions.

&quot;right wing hissy fitting&quot; doesn&#039;t have a damn thing to do with asking personal questions about a particular family and how they get to work and how many bathrooms they have their house!

This is &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; about religion and it&#039;s &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; about &quot;hissys&quot;. It&#039;s about asking personal questions. What will you do when they add other questions, which they definitely will, since the census will be done every year now rather than every 10 years:

&lt;em&gt;What time do you retire in the evening?
Do you lock your bedroom door?
How many windows do your bedrooms have?
Do you have a security system?
Where are your weapons located?
How many times do you flush your toilet per week?
Has anyone ever had an abortion in your household?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>For what it&#039;s worth, you need to understand that Bachmann is one of those fundamentalist Christianists, which explains her opposition to a census.  Somewhere in the Old Testament there is a line about Satan telling one of the kings of Israel to have a census and the king suffered some sort of grievous harm when he did it.  That is the basis for much of the right wing hissy fitting about the census.  

Someone may suggest that Caesar Augustus calling for a worldwide census may have something to do with it, but that&#039;s in the New Testament.  Christianists don&#039;t read the New Testament.</description>

Yep, they want to know if your wife is legal or not so they can send her to a FEMA camp when DHS and U.S. Northern Command hook up and start patrolling our streets to gather illegal aliens (and their new driver&#039;s licenses). 

The rest of us will be in FEMA camps for being DHS certified right-wing extremists, with the possibility of getting out IF you promise to donate half of your paycheck to the Chicago community organizers, commonly known as N.U.T.S.

All political dissidents will be incarcerated for 10 years or until they can repeat the phrase &quot;Yes We Can!&quot; 65 times in one breath. 

In the meantime all prisoners will be working on a production line to create new Halos for President Big Ears that will stay in one position, instead of constantly sliding to the side, when he lies to the American people. Many halos will be required as most will fall to the floor and shatter as he speaks.

Prisoners will also be busy creating signs and letters with the Big &quot;O&quot; (and it ain&#039;t Orgasm) on them that will be required of all young people to wear on their shirts when they go to their mandatory volunteering propaganda camps.

I&#039;m going to be a census taker also. I may as well start out before the N.U.T.S. do. That way, I can go door-to-door and find out who was in agreement with the &quot;spreading of the wealth&quot; and if they go along with President Marx, I&#039;m going to have my tin cup with me and get MY part of each of their paychecks before THEY do.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;You idiot liberals wouldn&#039;t know if your rights were being taken away if an official document written in first grade elementary writing was read to you. &lt;/strong&gt;

If your illegal idiotic president told ACORN to include questions such as:

&lt;em&gt;How many rolls of toilet paper do you use per week&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt;What sexual positions do you use&lt;/em&gt;

......you would be happy to answer them because that idiot wanted to know.

Liberals are fanatics, crazy and belong in padded cells in FEMA camps. There, you can indoctrinate yourselves to death while standing in line to clip your president&#039;s toenails.


&lt;strong&gt;FDR and Marx would be proud of you brain-damaged dumbbells.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>As Tawdry pointed out in #136, the 2008 election was very close.  Bachmann didn&#039;t win by a majority vote - she won by a plurality.  She received 46.41 percent of the vote to El Tinklenberg&#039;s 43.43 percent and Bob Anderson&#039;s 10.04 percent.  The majority of us in MN6 didn&#039;t vote for her!</description>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let&#039;s get a few things straight about MN politics shall we? First, despite a few lapses (most notably Sen Norm Coleman and Gov Tim Pawlenty and Ms Bachmann) Minnesotans have voted Democrat/Preogressive for most of the state&#039;s history. (Let&#039;s not forget Paul Wellstone, Hubert Hump[hrey, Walter Mondale, and other luminaries.)
---------------------------------------
As a Minnesotan I thank you for getting a few things straight. People who condemn all Minnesotans for Bachmann are just as crazy as she is. Obviously they don&#039;t understand that everyone in the state doesn&#039;t vote for each representative. Bachmann represents a district that is particularly religious and conservative Republican and she won by a gnat&#039;s eyelash in the last election.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;BACHMANN says, &quot;That’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Bachman is a member of the &quot;white people only party&quot;, aka the GOP. It was people like Bachman who put the Japanese in internment camps during WWII. 

She&#039;s just another GOP hypocrite.</description>

My Jewish family and friends appreciate that remark. Shalom&lt;/em&gt;

I have Jewish family and friends too, including my own daughter.  Your point?

You&#039;re the one who walked in here accusing everyone of ignorance about WWII.  You still haven&#039;t clarified what you were talking about.  Now, as far as I know the only people who claim to have &quot;secret knowledge denied by the majority&quot; regarding WWII are Holocaust deniers.  So either you&#039;re too stupid to use a computer keyboard, or you&#039;re a neo-Nazi who is now trying to pull out the &quot;lie about my personal situation&quot; card to tap-dance your way back from the brink.  I suppose you could be dictating from your straightjacket to someone else typing for you, but that scenario seems a bit far-fetched.

		<description>Bachmann will probably get a job at fauxnews when they finally get tired of being humiliated in Minnesota by her.  She will fit in perfectly.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I met an unusual man. . . . He didn&#039;t walk in with a political agenda. He didn&#039;t walk in with his mind made up. 

He genuinely wanted to do what he thought was best. 

He didn&#039;t mind saying the words &#039;I don&#039;t know.&#039;&quot;&lt;/em&gt;
