indylindy,
“Not all that bad.”
The bill was, and is “all that bad”. The bill grants the use of carte blanche authority to the federal government in overseeing, regulating, as well as penalizing and collecting funds in ALL forms and areas of food production and distribution in the United States. I read both HR 2751 (not HB) 2751 as well as H.R. 2749 and S510. Without exception, these legislative measures allow the federal government to overstep their authority in regulating food production at all levels in the United States.
Regardless how you slice it, indylindy, Michele Bachmann voted in favor of H.R. 2749, which passed in the House, thus paving the way for further legislation and implementation of said policy. Bachmann is no dummy. She knew what she was voting on.
You accused me of using “smear” tactics. As you can see, I was not motivated by a desire to attack Bachmann on a personal level. According to my Conservative principles, Michele Bachmann supported a bill that is so anti-Conservative that for me to dismiss it or undermine the seriousness of her decision would not only be a contradiction, but irresponsible of me as a Conservative American.
There is no comparison. This tells you that SB 510 is the one that messes with gardens and food growers.
The one Bachmann voted on was the bill in response to all the contamination that was hitting the food supply at the time. It required labels on origin of food and inspections.
Michele did not vote for SB 510. That is what she was being accused of.
I have a hard time squaring her vote on that too with my principals. I mean, I like her n all, but wth?! I don't get that vote and it really bothers me. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Is there anyplace where she explains her position and why she voted as she did?
SB 510 is a US Senate bill, Michelle Bachmann is in the US House of Representatives.
