That was a while back he said that.

by the way, thinkprogress had to interject this little gem into the twitter stream:

IF this woman wins I have lost all hope for America. She is talking about nothing literally...I mean come on people shouldn't it be about the policies? I have learned nothing from her in the past 10 minutes besides she is from Iowa and likes Family...........

Something is really weird about this speech. She has said absolutely nothing yet except I'm from Iowa and talked about herself. I'm sure she will mention her foster children before it's over. We can do this bla bla bla, We are going to win in 2012 blah bla blah, I'm from Iowa blah bla blah.................................We are social conservatives blah bla...........

lol @ cspan - they are trying to switch the mic to the crowds for applause lines to make it sound like more people are cheering. Very tepid crowd for her.

Even Santoroum made a better speech...

haha! an IRS employee talking about keeping the fruits of our labor

I see a lot of rolling eyes in the crowd.

PS: Bachmann, "Everything I learned in life, I learned in Iowa." NOTE: Bachmann left Iowa when she was 12 years old.

Sounds like she speaks the truth!

ron paul leads in the informal busses count poll
and from the sounds of things ms. bachmann's
number of 4000 tickets is perhaps equal to or
above what the campaign expects!!! its tight but
there are hints that dr. ron paul has a slight edge!
if the battle for first is totally intense, most likely
dr. ron paul and michele bachmann will marginalize
the other candidates, and there will be one big gap
between second place and 3rd, let alone 4th or 5th!

huntsman thinks rep. bachmann is beating ron paul?

huntsman's only hope is to be somebody's veep?

'I get it how to turn an economy around, I get it how to run a business, my husband and I actually think it's a good thing to turn a profit.'

'I believe in the Declaration of Independence and I believe we should keep the fruits of our own labor.'

How are we supposed to keep the fruits of our labors with a federal tax attorney in the White House trying to make government turn a profit?

Oh God, here comes the fearmongering...

"In 2006, when Michele Bachmann was recounting her career path at church, she explained that her husband Marcus Bachmann told her to get her post doctorate in Tax Law, and that while she hated the idea, “The Lord says, ‘Be submissive, wives. You are to be submissive to your husbands.’”
