I think the point of this is that Terryl wants to be the Congress woman of 5th district liberals
instead of the conservative 6th district. She goes to these fundraisers because she’s promoting that she is going to be another 5th district congressional person.

Lady K:

Quit lying about Michelle Bachmann. You wrote that she shouldn’t be on national television and that she should be helping those people who have lost their health care. I’ve been following the health care debate quite obviously more than you because Bachmann has been a leading advocate of making sure insurance is portable and we target the people who don’t have it right now. Maybe the reason why you’re mad at Michelle is because she doesn’t want the government taking it over like you do.

Lets not forget jobs are being lost because the Democrats wants to tax and are currently taxing businesses and rich people to death. Have you noticed what has happened in states like California and New York which have higher tax rates. Large budget deficits. Michigan has been run by a Democrat governor since 2002 and their real unemployment rate is close to 20% in part because of the type of health care policy you support and in part because we can’t drill for American oil because of the environmental lobby.

College tution is a problem because it’s just like health care today. We give money to the college’s and they feel no pressure to keep tution down because the government will give more aid to the students. Have you noticed compared with twenty years ago the price on the McDonalds, Wendy’s, or Burger King menu hasn’t jumped to $20 or more for a meal deal because their competition forces their prices to stay down!

As for foreclosures maybe if lenders had maintained a tougher standard on mortages instead of giving out mortages which the government guarteneed (thus no risk to them) we wouldn’t have the problems we do today.

In all the cases you pointed out the policies that have caused the hurt you’re complaining about will be made worse by Terryl Clark. The policies being promoted by Michelle Bachman will correct that.

So if you truly believe what you preach you’ll want to support Michelle Lady K!

How do you know most of the campaign funds raised by Rep. Bachmann have come from outside of the 6th district? While I agree that Bachmann gets a lot of face time on national cable shows, how can you say she isn’t working for her constituents? Frankly, the federal government has no role in foreclosures, unemployment, health care or college tuition. Those are issues reserved to the states and to the people.

While I get that Clark is more in tune with the Minneapolis liberals than the people of the 6th district, I’m not sure it’s fair political fodder to post every time she has a fundraiser outside of the narrow geographic boundries of the 6th district. Certainly Bachmann raises money in Washington, D.C. and there’s nothing wrong with that either.

Has every penny Michele Bachmann received come from WITHIN the 6th CD? Hell no!! Bachmann spends more time on National TV and elsewhere than inside the District working with those facing forelcosure, lost jobs, lost health Care, can’t afford College, etc. Mostof the monies raised by Bachmann have come from OUTSIDE of the 6th CD.
