Bachmann Farm Collected $260,000 In Federal Subsidies

Republican presidential candidate and unabashed liar Michelle Bachmann talks a big game about reducing federal spending but has no qualms about taking public money.

[excerpt] A family farm  located in Wisconsin - owned by her late father-in-law, Paul Bachmann - in which the Minnesota congresswoman is a partner, received nearly $260,000 in federal farm subsidies.

[excerpt] Bachmann voted against the 2008 farm bill, a $307-billion package that would govern federal agriculture policy for five years, Bachmann declared that it was "loaded with unbelievably outrageous pork and subsidies for agricultural business and ethanol growers." She was one of two nays cast by Minnesota's eight-member delegation.

The hypocrisy of this woman cannot be understated.
