Bachmann Pitches Message at Wrong Factory


Rep. Michele Bachmann visited a traffic signal plant in Iowa and called it an example of how President Obama's policies are "continuing to dig us deeper into the hole toward another recession," the Los Angeles Times reports.

However, the plant "thrives on the kind of road and bridge spending that Obama has promoted as a key remedy to the nation's economic slowdown" with as much as 80% of the plant's revenue coming from government.

1. That ranks up there with Palin's "Drill baby drill" speech at a Toledo solar panel factory in '08.
Gawd! Do these idiots do ANY research before shooting their mouths off?

Then, the MSM gerbils legitimize their campaigns by giving them wire-to-wire coverage on everything they do.

4. It wasn't like she was talking to the factory workers...
...they were props for her speech backdrop. And were cheaper for her campaign to borrow than cardboard cutouts.

5. Why should my taxpayer dollar go to your stoplight?
I don't want the government to decide which intersections I have to stop at. Let the free market take care of that.
