    Wall Street feeds on companies that are already successful, or succeed after starting up. One of the myths surrounding Wall Street firms is that they provide seed money for new businesses. They don’t. Wall Street firms act as middlemen selling shares to the public when a new company starts up. Investors-gamblers-speculators either win or lose their bet. Wall Street brokers profit either way.

    The government decided to provide seed money for so-called green energy companies. The greenbacks those environmental companies rake in is the only thing green about them. When they fail the seed money is gone and taxpayers foot the bill even though individual taxpayers did not want to bet on companies like Solyndra. Ask yourself this: What would I do if an executive from Solyndra came to my home and tried to hold me up? The answer is obvious if you have a gun or a baseball bat handy.

    Hussein & Company give your money to crooks and wise guys of every shade and there is nothing you can do about it. Chalk up another one for Michele Bachman who calls it gangster government. She has it exactly right.

    Think about this when you compare Bachmann to the Republican frontrunners. Romney was an investment banker; The Federal Reserve Bank is a monkey on Cain’s back, and Gingrich actually made a climate change commercial with Nancy Pelosi:


    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RQKNH_nwM4&feature=player_embedded"]Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich Commercial on Climate Change.wmv - YouTube[/ame]

    It’s fair to say that that 2008 ad legitimized the climate change fraud for a time. So it’s reasonable to conclude that Solyndra eventually benefited from Gingrich’s participation in the ongoing fraud known as manmade climate change.

    NOTE: Pelosi has been known to bend the truth as Gingrich pointed out in 2009:


    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACek8xwMpJs&feature=player_embedded"]Newt Gingrich Slams Nancy Pelosi As "Despicable, Dishonest And Vicious" - YouTube[/ame]

    Pelosi alone has less credibility than does Al Gore on climate change. She would have been laughed out of town had Gore done the Gingrich spot. Pelosi’s dishonesty does not exonerate Gingrich because he pointed it out.

    Here’s Michele for comparison purposes:

    Bachmann is an ignorant fool.

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oksH-TP-1mI"]Bachmann: We Should Be Less Socialist... Like China - YouTube[/ame]

    I'm glad to see that she's running at about 4% which is slight higher than that other far-right tool Rick "Frothy Matter" Santorum.

    Did she say how she would resolve it under her Presidency?

    Or that her claims go back way before the current administration?

    Michele Bachmann probably will not get much coverage because she called for Eric Holder’s resignation.

    I want to remind everyone that Holder was tight with Janet Reno, and neither she nor anyone else resigned because of the massacre in Waco. Holder later said he held a weeping Reno in his arms after Waco. I guess a few tears made up for not resigning.

    I also want to remind everyone that murdering over 80 men, women, and children in the Branch Davidian Compound had nothing to do with national security, or any of the other B.S. excuses the government and their media stooges put out.

    In a related story the government is hellbent on punishing Border Patrol Agent Jesus Diaz:

    For once I’d like to see Democrats punish the kind of people who are engaging in the OWS demonstrations. At least that could be justified for the good of society.

    Sadly, Democrats get a pass when they slaughter anyone they don’t like, while non-Democrats are crucified for every breach of etiquette the liberal media finds offensive.


    Bachmann first presidential candidate, 52nd member of Congress to demand Eric Holder’s resignation
    By Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller 12:05 AM 11/19/2011

    Minnesota congresswoman and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told The Daily Caller late Friday that she thinks Attorney General Eric Holder should resign immediately because of Operation Fast and Furious.

    Bachmann is the first presidential candidate, and the 52nd member of Congress, to demand Holder’s immediate resignation. “Attorney General Holder should resign because of the mismanagement of ‘Fast and Furious,’” Bachmann told TheDC. “As the nation’s top law enforcement officer, he bears the responsibility for the actions of his department.”

    Bachmann went further with this statement than with her previous position on Holder’s job performance. On October 10 in New Hampshire, she told TheDC: “There needs to be a full investigation. And surely he should resign … if the facts prove to be what they appear to be.”

    Holder is on a Caribbean junket this week, on a trip scheduled to take him to Barbados, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic — on what his office has characterized as a law enforcement-related excursion. His spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler, whom former Justice Department civil rights division attorney J. Christian Adams has dubbed Holder’s “spin mistress,” is traveling with him. Schmaler has repeatedly declined to answer any questions about the increasing numbers of federal lawmakers calling for Holder’s immediate resignation.

    Bachmann’s statement comes on the heels of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, another Republican presidential hopeful, punting the question. Perry spokesman Mark Miner has similarly dodged TheDC’s questions about whether he thinks the attorney general should step down.

    Perry addressed Operation Fast and Furious for the first time on Friday in New York City, but stopped short of saying Holder should resign over the deadly gun-walking program. (THE COMPLETE LIST: Members calling for Holder to resign)

    Fast and Furious is likely to become a political hot potato heading into 2012 if President Obama ultimately backs his attorney general and keeps him as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Several members of Congress calling for Holder’s resignation have indicated they believe Obama is “complicit” in the program’s failings if he doesn’t fire Holder now.

    White House spokesman Eric Schultz, the same Obama official who CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson said verbally assaulted her on Sept. 30 for covering Fast and Furious, has continued to ignore The Daily Caller’s requests for comment on the surge in calls for Holder’s resignation emanating from Capitol Hill.

    Nancy Pelosi......

    What I don't get.......is what she has done to deserve the vitriol she gets from righties.

    She really hasn't done anything that most other Democrats have done, but she get's much bigger chunk of hatred. She doesn't gaffe like Bachmann or Palin, so what has she done specifically herself, that sets her aside so as to get special hatred?

    Maybe it's just because she's a liberal from San Francisco....that would make any righty upset on it's own.

    Nancy Pelosi is about the cruelist Polician alive.She attacked President Bush
    weekly as Incompetent and a Crony Capitalist.Yet when elected Speaker
    Pelosi spent her first yer basically naming New Post Offices.
    She was found to be guilty of Insider Trading.She has profitted in her
    role as House Speaker to the tune of increasing her Net Worth by 62%
    in just 3 years.
    She is a disaster when before a microphone.Often times unintelligible.
    Plus she's a flat out Liar as with her knowledge of " Waterboarding "
    being among THE first if not The first person in Congress to have
    been informed of the practice,by the CIA in a briefing with another
    Congressperson back in Sept.of 2002.
    Giving a quickie Press Conference years later stating that and other
    lies,having the temerity to accuse those in the CIA as being Liars.
    This,the same woman who repeatedly mocked the Tea Party as
    " astroturf " and " Angry ".Her Democrats came up with the notion of
    holding Town Halls to discuss the HealthCare debate and she never
    attended ONE Town Hall.
    Not only was she belligerent in her defiance over stepping down
    in a leadership role after her defeat,she managed to throw herself
    an Accomplishments Party and keep her status as Democrat Leader
    of the Minority.
    She is also a Very Bad Catholic.Out actively committing a mortal sin
    in the eyes of the Papacy and her insistence of a Woman's Right
    to an Abortion.

    To Goldwater: In addition to Foolardi’s list, most other Democrats never openly betrayed the country with a former Soviet dictator. See my messages (2) in this thread:

    Just jumped in to see what Bachmann might have nailed. I was guessing she was able to correctly identify a person in American history, maybe correctly quote some luminary or recite some event from the past accurately. What a disappointment.

    Bachmann is correct about Wall Street fraud. The purchase of common stock in the USA stock exchange should be evaluated very carefully. The “sucker’s impression” that you are entitled to a portion of the company’s assets after bankruptcy is folly. There is a discrete and privileged list of recipients and UNLESS a Communist like Obama intervenes (i.e. GM and Chrysler to ensure the UAW votes), you, as an individual investor are screwed. Gambling at the highest level and a Ponzi scheme to extract wealth from the middle class and give it to the upper class. Don’t play the game.

    You're almost completely correct, they hate her because she's a liberal WOMAN from San Francisco. Republicans would only hate her more if she were a minority.

    To clarkatticus & DontLoseTouch: There would be less vitriol against Pelosi and other liberal women were they not such a filthy, lying, dirt bags or outright nut jobs. Compare Michele Bachman to any one of them and Bachmann comes out on top.

    The most amazing thing about liberals is the hatred they spewed against Sarah Palin; a conservative woman who never betrayed the country, never lied, never stole tax dollars, never legislated a disaster like Hillarycare II, and never held an elected federal office.

    Incidentally, I was happy to hear Rush Limbaugh say some nice things about Michele Bachmann. Thought it might annoy you since you both appear to hate conservative women.


    Michele Bachmann is said not to be a serious candidate for president. Why? I think she's ripe for a rebirth. Do you have any doubt that if Michele Bachmann were elected president she'd be fighting for this country each and every day? Do you have any doubt that Michele Bachmann would be doing everything in her power to return this country to a path of greatness? Does anybody have any doubt? I don't. I have no doubt whatsoever where Michele Bachmann's heart is. She is consistent as a conservative. She is strong as a conservative. She has shown herself to have courage and leadership qualities. She is one of anybody on that Republican dais. You compare Michele Bachmann's life experiences to Obama and how can it be said that she is not up to the job, after the job he has done wrecking this country?

    How can it be said that she or Herman Cain or any one of our candidates is not up to the job when the alternative is a one-man wrecking crew named Barack Obama? How can it be said? She's smart. She's not seeking a fundamental transformation of our country. She wants to uphold the country and the Constitution. She's dismissed, though. She's made by the liberal media to look foolish, not ready for the job, and, of course, our so-called commentators join in with this nonsense, "Ah, she's not ready. Michele Bachmann not ready." Santorum, he's more fit to be president than Obama ever could have dreamed to be. His knowledge of foreign policy is second to none. So they attack him on social issues. He's too extreme, his positions are mainstream Catholic positions. Nancy Pelosi says Catholics have a conscience problem. And she is not the problem? How can that be?

    Would an Englishman be so stupid as to interrupt American chaps who are so frightfully serious ?
    But as a silly islander from further away than even Texas is from real life , threads like these do seem incongruous .
    It does not matter one jot what happens in your election , compared to the Tsunami that is heading your way as sure as Coke is diluted poison .
    You are looking at true unemployment of around 20% , a second housing bubble , no growth and being literally and utterly bankrupt .
    In a few days the Ratings Agencies will move you down at least another notch along with Eurozone bankrupt Sovereign States and the Dow Jones will start its downward path to at 7000 or lower and the $ will continue to devalue itself as one of the world's great disappearing tricks .Although a little time away , the $ will be removed as the world's reserve currency and the Fed's ability to play Lender of Last Resort will have gone forever .
    And here you are debating whether Mister Bacharach should have been a Carpenter .
    I don't get it .Are you in denial and imagine it will all go away if you ignore it for awhile?
    I am off before you start being rude and nasty and reverting to Anglo Saxon swear words .

    The youtube video I posted has been removed. Here’s the transcript:

    PART THREE

    http://politisite.com/2011/11/22/cnn-debate-cnndebate-transcript-part-3/

    BLITZER: Let’s talk about that, Congresswoman Bachmann.

    Social Security, Medicare, health care — what would you cut first?

    What would you tackle if you were president of the United States ?

    REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN., PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Let me answer that in the context of the super committee, because I was involved in the middle of that fight as a member of Congress this summer. And my voice said this. I said it’s time for us to draw a line in the sand. We have sufficient revenues coming in to pay the interest on the debt.

    But the real issue was, were we going to give Congress another $2.4 billion in borrowing authority?

    In other words, another blank check to the president. Because, again, consider the context. A little of four years ago, we were just over $8 trillion in debt. We are now $15 trillion in debt in just over four years. Now we’re talking about — if the gentleman is correct — adding another $11 trillion in debt over 10 years, or potentially $8.5 trillion, according to the super committee.

    All that they were asked to do is cut back on $1.2 trillion of that increase in debt. We aren’t even talking about the central issue, which is balancing the budget. We need to balance the budget and then chip away at the debt. This isn’t Monopoly money.

    Because what we need to recognize is that when we are sending interest money over to China , with whom we are highly in hock, we’re not just sending our money. We’re sending our power.

    What will happen is that our national security and our military will decrease and our money will increase China ‘s military. So think about that.

    Our money will be used to grow China ‘s military at the expense of the United States military. That should give every American pause.

    The following comes from part 1 & part 4 of the transcript:

    PART ONE

    http://politisite.com/2011/11/22/cnn-debate-cnndebate-transcript-part-1/

    BLITZER: Congresswoman Bachmann, let me bring you into this conversation. Are you with Congressman Paul or Speaker Gingrich or do you have your own view?

    BACHMANN: Well, I’m with the American people, with the Constitution, and with the job of the commander-in-chief as the number one duty of the president of the United States .

    We have to realize we’re in a very different war, with very different techniques that are used for that war, and very different bad actors than we’ve had before in the terrorists and their motivations are very different.

    We can’t forget that technology is completely different. When we were looking at prior laws, phones were wired in to walls. That’s not how it works any more. Today we deal with wireless functions. And we have to completely change the way that we go about investigating.

    This is one thing we know about Barack Obama. He has essentially handed over our interrogation of terrorists to the ACLU. He has outsourced it to them. Our CIA has no ability to have any form of interrogation for terrorists.

    When the bomber — or the attempted bomber over Detroit , the underwear bomber was intercepted, he was given Miranda warnings within 45 minutes. He was not an American citizen. We don’t give Miranda warnings to terrorists, and we don’t read them their rights. They don’t have any.

    PART FOUR

    http://politisite.com/2011/11/22/cnn-debate-cnndebate-transcript-part-4/

    BLITZER: Congresswoman Bachmann, you agree with the speaker?

    REP. MICHELE BACHMANN, R-MINN., PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Well, I don’t agree that you would make 11 million workers legal, because that, in effect, is amnesty. And I also don’t agree that you would give the DREAM Act on a federal level. And those are two things that I believe that the speaker had been for, and he can speak for himself.

    And this:

    BLITZER: Congresswoman Bachmann, you want to respond?

    (APPLAUSE)

    BACHMANN: If I understood correctly, I think the speaker just said that that would make 11 people — 11 million people who are here illegally now legal. That’s really the issue that we’re dealing with. And also, it would be the DREAM Act, the federal DREAM Act, which would offer taxpayer-subsidized benefits to illegal aliens. We need to move away from magnets (ph), not offer more.

    It's not that we don't like conservative women, we just prefer ones with credible intellectual creds to occupy the most powerful job in the world. Commenting on the constitution, duties of the president, and the direction of US foreign policy should include a reasonable knowledge of American history and law. Anybody that thinks Pelosi didn't get roughed up as bad in the press as any woman doesn't watch the news or have a computer. The only differance is that Pelosi has the sand to back her action.

    To clarkatticus: First, combining the MSM with the Internet is dirty pool. The press remains biased in favor of liberals, while the Internet provides balance to the liberal method of personal attacks on their opponents.

    Remember when Hussein won the election? Democrats called for an end of personal attacks. That was after 8 years of personal attacks on Bush and every conservative in sight.

    NOTE: Every time liberals are in charge they con conservatives into playing nice. It used to work because the Right had to fear being painted as uncaring, selfish, monsters by the liberal MSM. Back in 2008 I said I had no intention of caving in to the threat. Thanks to the Internet I, and many others, continued to identify specific Democrats for the pieces of garbage they are. Pelosi, her stooges in the House, and top Democrats in the Senate, all qualify for the garbage label. The healthcare bill and the way they rammed it down the country’s throat is more than enough proof.

    Finally, Pelosi has been given a press pass throughout her years in Congress. Forget about her larceny and concentrate on her treason involving Gorbachev and the Presidio. That shameful affair remains blacked out by the MSM. Even the recent 60 Minutes piece softens Pelosi’s corruption by also naming John Boehner for the same crime. No Democrat is ever offered for “balance” when a conservative woman is the target.
