Barreling past Iowa’s iconic cornfields aboard a blue campaign bus, Michele Bachmann tries to explain the uncanny political force that has catapulted her from a backbencher in Washington to a leading contender on the presidential trail. She has just finished electrifying a crowd in Ft. Dodge, Iowa, with a folksy assault on a bloated federal government that she and her Tea Party compatriots routinely vow to dismantle. “Obamacare” will be repealed in a Bachmann administration, the Republican congresswoman from Minnesota vows. G-men won’t tell you what lightbulbs you can use, either. And more of your hard-earned money will end up in your pocketbooks, not on the ledgers of mindless bureaucrats.

Now there's the rub, after ten long years, she sat there and said nothing
while Americas wealth was squandered away. Tax cuts and stimulus packages
did nothing to bring back jobs, but did tend to quiet the opposition with
talking points: "let's give the tax cuts time to work", "Let's give the
stimulus checks time to work", ad nauseum. All the while, in the background,
deregulation was doing it's dirty work. Allowing unregulated lending
to create paper profits and commissions and fees, for anyone unscrupulous
enough to engage in bad practices, yada, yada, yada. Now that the
damage is done and people have no money, she steps forward with the
promise to let you keep, the money you no longer have, in your pocket!
Okay, let me stop here for coffee, then I'll be back with another post!
