Sad day for America when the entire focus of the debate centers around Gardasil..Perry said he was wrong..lets move on to the real problems facing our nations and checking out Bachmanns voting record on ethanol concerns me...Another of Bachmann’s assets — a family farm owned by her late father-in-law, Paul Bachmann — received nearly $260,000 in federal money between 1995 and 2008, largely from corn and dairy subsidies, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research organization that scrutinizes such subsidies. Paul Bachmann died in May 2009, but the congresswoman retains a partnership in the farm.

Bachmann said in December that the subsidies went to her in-laws and she never received “one penny” from the farm, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. However, in financial disclosure forms, she reported receiving between $32,503 and $105,000 in income from the farm, at minimum, between 2006 and 2009.

Hmm, farm stuff ~ wonder what Rick's doing this year about farmers and ranchers getting wiped out by the worst drought since the last one?

Bet his Agriculture guy (Hey, he used to have that job didn't he) is standing on his head waving his legs around trying to get USDA attention to his special needs.

You are probably not going to find Pro Perry Supporters on this or any other thread arguing anything about price supports or emergency crop loans ~ EVER ~ not this year anyway.
