CARL QUINTANILLA (CNBC): Does it strike you that as the unemployment rate goes up that your chances of winning office also go up?

MICHELE BACHMANN: Well, that could be. Again, I hope so.

5. Clueless or Heartless?

With Michele Bachmann it's hard to tell. Did you catch the whine over businesses paying taxes?

I know several out of work people who would LOVE to pay taxes because that meant they had a job.

6. A heartless opportunist.

[Ilsa]

7. Selfish Bitch. My younger brother is unemployed. nt

what fun teabaggers would have with a Democratic presidential candidate who was a former tax lawyer for the IRS? :smoke:

9. and I hope she comes to grips with the fact that

she's been married to a self-loathing gay man. Oops!

10. higher taxes claim is bogus

It was During Clinton when I could get a Job just about anywhere..
If you could work and did not have a Job.. Something was wrong with you..
At that time.. Business as well as all Americans payed much higher taxes and flourished...
that reduced the deficit to a surplus.. First time this has occurred in American History..
This woman is a religious Wing Nut...
Everything she says is spin, wrong, or proven to be false..
Its the media pushing her campaign.. not the public..
Not one of these Repukes has listened or payed attention to Middle class Americans at all..
They are not paying Constituents..
