Conservative Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, a major critic of the Health Care Reform legislation, and a leading firebrand accusing the Democrats of being “socialistic”, has now been shown to be a true hypocrite.
While she opposes government “handouts”, it turns out her family farm received a subsidy of $251,000 under the agricultural subsidies program from 1995-2006. At the same time, she has voted against every foreclosure relief bill designed to help families in danger of losing their homes!
So it is fine to take a government subsidy, collect a full salary as a Congresswoman, and get federal health benefits, but deny any kind of assistance to Americans in trouble. Is this anything else other than hypocrisy? 
The hope is that Bachmann can be defeated in 2010 because even many leaders of the Republican party think she has been a detriment to the GOP message with her firebomb throwing types of statements!
