"On Saturday Michelle Bachmann was in Duluth, she was here for a town hall meeting. The meeting was sponsored by Take Back Washington. Yes I will make no bones about it, the group is a pro-Republican organization. The event locally was organized by the Duluth Republican Party, with help from Take Back Washington.
I know that a lot of people in Duluth think that Bachmann is a vile congresswoman. Yes she has said some things I don't agree with. In fact I don't know how much we would agree on a lot of issues. That said, yesterday she hit the nail on the head.
Bachmann spoke to a standing room only crowd at Mr. D's Bar And Grill. Bachmann said that while America is still the land of the free, we are quickly turning toward socialism under our current president. Bachmann did not just blame the current administration. She said that President Bush started this current downturn in the economy, and the amount of money he spend was incredible.
One of Bachmann's main concern was however with President Obama and the government takeover of private business that includes banks and financial institutions, along with the automobile industry and health care. In total the government now owns or operates 51% of private industry.
Bachmann also spoke about being able to win Oberstar's seat. She pointed to Scott Brown winning Kennedy's seat, also a couple of gubernatorial races won by Republicans. She said if people are paying attention they should vote for any candidate that is for appealing healthcare takeover."

Bachmann is just making that 50 percent number up. CBS fact checked her Face of the Nation appearance and found her numbers were in no way true. I don't like how Bachmann accuses other politicians (those who oppose her) of being anti-American. Using her standard, FDR was anti-American, and that is just stupid. Anyone looking at this big versus small government debate should remember that when the Republicans have been in power they have NEVER downsized government.
The fact that M. Bachmann has Congressman Oberstar in her sights makes me all set to vote for him. Usually I don't even bother. And, John, you are pretty damn gullible if you believe any of the crap M. Bachmann pulls out of her ass and says. She's famous for making stuff up. I wish someone at the event had asked her where she came up with her 51% figure.
The number is point-less. I am not sure the 51% is wrong in fact I think it is close. Look at what the goverment has taken over.
Banks and fincinal instutions
Car industy it affects more then just the plants.
Helth care
Three of our largest private industrys now with goverment ties. Not good.
The number does not matter 50%, 20% 10% or 100% it does not matter. We are losing our private industries.
