Michele Bachmann's Vision: 'Mother Of All Repeal Bills' (VIDEO)

If Obama wins in 2012, I hope he prediction gets played over and over, and someone gets to ask her how she got it wrong when she has her direct line to God.

In order to "Restore the Republic and the Constitution to its rightful place in Government", 'ObamaCare' must be repealed and socialism defeated starting in 2010.

As for the politically challenged...Obama will be a one term President!

Don't you all listen to your Messiah when the prophetic one speaks?

Hillary Clinton will run as a 'conservative democrat' compared to Obama's radical socialist agenda. The closer we come to 2012 more of the traditional Democratic Leadership will abandon Obama and throw him under the proverbial 'Bus' to be just a historical first in American politics.

I Hate Democracy

Restore the Republic and the Constitution to its rightful place in Government

CHEERS...

GOOD NIGHT NOW!

p.s. Due to the volume of lying, emotional and hateful remarks by progressives directed at me, I will no longer reply to any post filled with personal attacks, vulgar language or obscenities.

If you expect a reply from me act nicely!

Has anyone noticed that the closer we get to election day, the more insane the GOP gets? I mean, more than usual, of course. Is it stress?

More insanity:

"Bachmann and DFL State Senator Tarryl Clark are tied among voters age 50+. But when voters of all ages are combined, including the youngest voters, Bachmann leads 48% to 39%. There is a striking 33-point Gender Gap. Bachmann, a woman, leads by 25 points among male likely voters. Clark, a woman, leads by 8 points among female likely voters. Of those who support the Tea Party movement, 86% back Bachmann. Of those who oppose the Tea Party movement, 82% back Clark."

Guys, Taryll Clarke is very nice looking. She also is not insane. Get your brains out of your pants for 5 minutes and think. Do you really enjoy being represented by a moron? Then go with Bachmann, otherwise go for the pretty non-moron.

The Middle Class in America Is Radically Shrinking. Here Are the Stats to Prove it

From The Business Insider

Editor's note: Michael Snyder is editor of theeconomiccollapseblog.com

The 22 statistics detailed here prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence in America.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at a staggering rate. Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world, but now that is changing at a blinding pace.

So why are we witnessing such fundamental changes? Well, the globalism and "free trade" that our politicians and business leaders insisted would be so good for us have had some rather nasty side effects. It turns out that they didn't tell us that the "global economy" would mean that middle class American workers would eventually have to directly compete for jobs with people on the other side of the world where there is no minimum wage and very few regulations. The big global corporations have greatly benefited by exploiting third world labor pools over the last several decades, but middle class American workers have increasingly found things to be very tough.

Here are the statistics to prove it:

• 83 percent of all U.S. stocks are in the hands of 1 percent of the people.
• 61 percent of Americans "always or usually" live paycheck to paycheck, which was up from 49 percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007.
• 66 percent of the income growth between 2001 and 2007 went to the top 1% of all Americans.
• 36 percent of Americans say that they don't contribute anything to retirement savings.
• A staggering 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved up for retirement.
• 24 percent of American workers say that they have postponed their planned retirement age in the past year.
• Over 1.4 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009, which represented a 32 percent increase over 2008.
• Only the top 5 percent of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise in housing costs since 1975.
• For the first time in U.S. history, banks own a greater share of residential housing net worth in the United States than all individual Americans put together.
• In 1950, the ratio of the average executive's paycheck to the average worker's paycheck was about 30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between 300 to 500 to one.
• As of 2007, the bottom 80 percent of American households held about 7% of the liquid financial assets.
• The bottom 50 percent of income earners in the United States now collectively own less than 1 percent of the nation’s wealth.
• Average Wall Street bonuses for 2009 were up 17 percent when compared with 2008.
• In the United States, the average federal worker now earns 60% MORE than the average worker in the private sector.
• The top 1 percent of U.S. households own nearly twice as much of America's corporate wealth as they did just 15 years ago.
• In America today, the average time needed to find a job has risen to a record 35.2 weeks.
• More than 40 percent of Americans who actually are employed are now working in service jobs, which are often very low paying.
• or the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.
• This is what American workers now must compete against: in China a garment worker makes approximately 86 cents an hour and in Cambodia a garment worker makes approximately 22 cents an hour.
• Approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in 2010 - the highest rate in 20 years.
• Despite the financial crisis, the number of millionaires in the United States rose a whopping 16 percent to 7.8 million in 2009.
• The top 10 percent of Americans now earn around 50 percent of our national income.

Giant Sucking Sound

The reality is that no matter how smart, how strong, how educated or how hard working American workers are, they just cannot compete with people who are desperate to put in 10 to 12 hour days at less than a dollar an hour on the other side of the world. After all, what corporation in their right mind is going to pay an American worker 10 times more (plus benefits) to do the same job? The world is fundamentally changing. Wealth and power are rapidly becoming concentrated at the top and the big global corporations are making massive amounts of money. Meanwhile, the American middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence as U.S. workers are slowly being merged into the new "global" labor pool.

What do most Americans have to offer in the marketplace other than their labor? Not much. The truth is that most Americans are absolutely dependent on someone else giving them a job. But today, U.S. workers are "less attractive" than ever. Compared to the rest of the world, American workers are extremely expensive, and the government keeps passing more rules and regulations seemingly on a monthly basis that makes it even more difficult to conduct business in the United States.

So corporations are moving operations out of the U.S. at breathtaking speed. Since the U.S. government does not penalize them for doing so, there really is no incentive for them to stay.

What has developed is a situation where the people at the top are doing quite well, while most Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to make it. There are now about six unemployed Americans for every new job opening in the United States, and the number of "chronically unemployed" is absolutely soaring. There simply are not nearly enough jobs for everyone.

Many of those who are able to get jobs are finding that they are making less money than they used to. In fact, an increasingly large percentage of Americans are working at low wage retail and service jobs.

But you can't raise a family on what you make flipping burgers at McDonald's or on what you bring in from greeting customers down at the local Wal-Mart.

The truth is that the middle class in America is dying -- and once it is gone it will be incredibly difficult to rebuild.

Did you know that the Bachmann's have taken in over 23 foster children?

Some people talk the talk. Others, walk the walk.

@ SCOOP...

It's just sad that all those statistics are so true, the time to do something has almost totally passed, and the fact of the matter is that our country is going to really be facing a lot of problems with large rates of social inequality...and it's sad because the rich just DO NOT CARE! Whether it's the politicians, the businessmen, the investors, it doesn't matter...none of them give a shit about helping the poor and disadvantaged minorities.

Want a real laugh, look at the original picture: NV grassroots committee sponsered by Americans For Prosperity Foundation.

About as Grassrootsy as you can get! ha ha!

More and more, the leaders and talking heads of our two mobs in Washington remind me of carnival barkers... standing in front of the curtain, their entire goal nothing more than doing and saying ANYTHING to get you to give them your hard earned money. After that you get to see just how warped and dishonest their spiel really was.
Of course those barkers could learn a lot from todays politicians and leaders because even after we see all the misrepresentations, we will come back tomorrow and give them more time and money, bringing our friends so they can be fooled also...

May the Tea Party suckle on the teat of Michele Bachmann's surrealistic caucus.

There are quite a few parallels between the current GOP field and the Dem field in 2004.

Sarah Palin= Howard Dean (Lots of flash and enthusiasm...but seen as too polarizing/extreme)

Mitt Romney = John Kerry (Lots of on-paper experience, but no pizazz...and too self conscious/elitist)

Mitch Daniels = Joe Lieberman (the policy wonk of the group...but not ideologically pure enough and too dull)

Mike Huckabee = John Edwards (Likeable, Southern charm....but support not quite broad enough among the base to win it).

She is bragging that she got 40 people out sign up, out of 435 members of the house...big deal..she is full of hot air..as usual!

Bring it, psycho b!t¢#!

The teabagger movement reminds me early 90’s.

Back then the Republicans could not run on their ideas or record either. After years of voodoo economics resulted in banks failures and bailouts, a market crash and recession, the country elected Clinton.

In the midterms the Republicans decided their best chance was to rile up the base by using conservative talk radio and abusing evangelical pulpit to spread fear of a giant Clinton secular socialist conspiracy. They also tried to convert the anger over the bank bailouts (S&L crisis) that happened under Bush into a general anti-Washington frenzy by using various corporate funded astro-turf, pro-term limit, colonial themed groups with names like Freedom Loving Patriots for Term Limits and such. The term limit mania was endlessly stoked on conservative talk radio as the panacea for every ill.

Of course the first thing to get shelved when the Republicans took back the House in 94 was term limits (they had more important issues to tackle, like impeaching the President for a beej). Good times.

It is no different today. Repubs can’t run on their failed ideas and they can’t run on their dismal record under Bush. The best they can do is use News Corp, astro-turfing and talk radio to try to blame Obama for Bush’s deficit spending and bank bailouts, spread conspiracy theories and of course race-bait.

Plus le change...

I wish just once one of these so called leaders would actually say what they want instead of these inane catch phrases like "want the country the way it was before." Give me specifics. Do you want it the way it was before Obama and if so point out why it was better? Or the way it was before Reagan which I think would be a good place to start. Or, as I tend to believe, many of this ilk would like it to be the way it was before Lincoln. I know their followers are low on brain cells, but I really wish they'd take it up a notch and quit sounding like the cheerleading squad from a 1950s low IQ high school.

Speaking of anger:
