Michele Bachman tells FOX News in 2009 "I don't need government to be successful,"

Truth is, since 1995 she has taken nearly $290,000 in state and federal grants and subsidies.

Bachman routinely blasts "socialized medicine" yet has taken, just since 2006, approximately $24,041 from the Minnesota state Department of Human Services for her Bachmann & Associates clinic, to aid in training her staff.

Bachman blasted the 2008 Farm bill as "loaded with unbelievably outrageous pork and subsidies for agricultural business and ethanol growers." Yet from 1995-2008, a farm she owns in partnership has collected approx. $260,000.00 in corn and dairy subsidies.

-For the record, Bachman's haul of $290,000.00, is $290,000.00 more than I have ever received from state and federal monies. Ever-

HOLY HYPOCRITE!
Freshman Republican Pitches A Fit When He Finds Out His Government Health Care Does Not Start Until January 2011.

Maryland physician Andy Harris (R) just soundly defeated Frank Kratovil, one of the most endangered Democrats on Capitol Hill going into the November election. And he did it in large part by railing against 'Obamacare' and pledging to repeal Health Care Reform. But when he showed on Capitol Hill today for an orientation for incoming members of Congress and their staffs, he had a different question: Where's my government health care?

According to Glenn Thrush of Politico, Harris created a stir at the orientation meeting by demanding to know why he had to wait a month after he was sworn in in January for his government-subsidized health care to kick in. After responding in a huff, he even asked if there was some way he could buy into the government care in advance, seemingly thinking there might be a government program similar to the so-called 'public option' championed by progressive Democrats in 2009.

According to an unnamed congressional staffer quoted by Thrush, Harris stood up at the meeting "and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care."

During the campaign, Harris told voters, "the answer to the ever-rising cost of insurance is not the expansion of government-run or government-mandated insurance but, instead, common-sense market based solutions that ensure decisions are made by patients and their doctors."

This on the first day of orientation! It's going to be an interesting 2 years. Can't wait until they get swore in.
