Well, I just finished watching the Republican debate in New Hampshire, Michele Bachmann was a pleasant surprise. What an interesting debate. There was some humor thrown about but was serious most of the time. It cracked me up that everyone had some hate against President Obama. Does anyone else think it’s crazy the way they had the screen setup? It was almost like they were answering to God as they looked up to the screen. Gotta love the debates.
My man Ron Paul ruled tonight, but of course got no mention from the media. It’s a sad day in America when a candidate tells the truth, then is stonewalled. He made the other candidates look stupid by bringing up the real issue of the current economic mess: sour monetary policy! It really does comes down to the exploding national debt. It’s what’s going to take this country down. I feel bad for Ron Paul. He’s old, get talked over by the other candidates, and is too nice. If he did get elected, you’d see America take a 180. But that’s just a dream. Everyone knows that the media is totally biased and gives him no attention. If they did, he would be our next president.
So, realistically, who would win the presidency according to tonight’s debate? I’d have to go with Michele Bachmann. She had some great one liners and showed herself to be one powerful public speaker. I love how she is so outspoken about Obamacare. Only time will tell how serious she is about going through with her promises.
So, why do I like Michele Bachmann, and why is she the real deal?
She has risen from nowhere due to the Tea Party. I affiliate myself with the Tea Party and love what they stand for. As a supporter of the Tea Party, I support legislation to decrease government, and get back to the basics of our constitution. I also like how the Tea Party is made up of liberals and conservatives. It truly is a shining example of very different groups coming together for a common cause.
Michele Bachmann excited me tonight. I love what she stands for. First and foremost, she is all about low taxes. If you all remember back to the Reagan days, low taxes is the reason our economy boomed for such a long period of time.
Here’s an excerpt from here site: “Taxes are simply too high, and American families have less money to spend on their priorities. Rather than taking money from the hands of the middle class to pay for a large, overbearing federal government, I believe in letting hard-working taxpayers keep more of what they earn. This would help strengthen our economy, stimulate job growth and force the government to make wiser spending decisions – all of which would benefit American families.”
As you can see, she is one serious cookie and her track record shows that she isn;t messing around with our emotions. I really truly believe she will lower our taxes.
Michele Bachmann on wasteful spending
Michele Backmann is the poster child for cutting wasteful spending within our government. I love that! Let’s go down a quick laundry list. Medicare/Medicaid, broke, Social security, broke. United States Postal Office, broke, Cash for Clunkers, broke. It really is true that anything the government touches, it turns sour. Michele Bachmann won;t stand for that and I support her views. I say cut, cut, cut! She recently helped pass HR 3958, which will open transparency between the tax payer and Congress. The plan is to show us tax payers what Congress has decided to spend our money on years into the future.
At the end of the day, she is all about getting us back on the road to sustainable fiscal policy and reducing the national debt. As you know, we like hearing words like “reducing debt” here at Free Money Wisdom!
Personal finances take-aways from Michele Bachmann
You can learn about personal finance in the strangest of places, why not a Republican debate? Here are my take-aways from this debate with regards to personal finance.
-Pay your debts, don’t follow Obama’s track record.
-We need to get our country back to fiscal sustainability, maybe your wallet does too?
-Budget and spend less than you earn, unlike the current administration.
To the READERS: What are your thoughts on the debate? Are you as excited about Michele Bachmann as I am?

Thanks for info.
I like both Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann.
People need to understand the philosophy of liberty & individual responsibility.
1. If I work hard and I can keep the rewards of my hard labors, I am more motivated to work hard.
2. If I work hard but the government takes away most of what I earn to give so someone who is lazy, I will no longer have motivation to work hard. Why should I?
That’s why socialism failed wherever it is practised. Even China’s recent success is because they move to Capitalism.
Obama’s hope and change has failed because he is hopeless and wanted to change from the best.
Reul, you’re spot on. Yes, in a perfect world, Ron Paul would be our next president. But we all know the media is biased against him. It really is a sad day when the media is so blatantly biased.
Socialism has never worked, Obama is truly living in a fantasy world. I don;t know about you but i feel like the government is encroaching on my personal life more than ever before. 2012 needs to come soon.
I’ve never understood your love of Ron Paul. The man is an out-of-touch loon.
It’s a sad day in our society when things like sound money, constitutional principles, and reducing the size of our military are considered out of touch. He schooled the Republicans that night. He’ll never win the presidency, but he is the smartest and most eloquent of the bunch.
I agree with you. Problem is, schooling Republicans won’t really win elections. :-/
I just wish his son Rand would take up the run for president. He’s a far better speaker, much better salesman, and I think he’d be an excellent president.
Very true JT, but the problem is that Reopublicans are no different than Democrats, both parties work for the big banks.
I can only see Michele and Ron actually going against the grain and passing initiatives that the people actually want.
As for Rand, there is still time! I even heard that Rick Perry of Texas might be joining the race.
Whoever it is, it’s pretty much guaranteed that Obama is out and Republicans are taking over. It’s going to be nice now that we have the House!
As a Texan, I’m anxious to see how Perry is received by the moderates and the press. He’s a winner and a strong personality who won’t back down. I wish I felt as confident as you. Obama has so many of the MSM and Hollywood in his back pocket. I still see it as a tough battle.
Perry seems like a very strong candidate. I’m excited to see where he ends up. Obama might have Hollywood, but when millions of Americans can’t find jobs because of his destructive policies, nothing can save him. 2012 will be an interesting race for sure.
Jon, I like your observations re the debate and candidates however I take exception with one statement. You say it cracked you up that they all had hate for the President. Hate is not good. In fact, we’re supposed to love our enemies aren’t we?
Hey Steve,
Yah, I just read that again, I do sound harsh! I used the wrong word for that. I guess I meant more like the candidates showed their frustration with Obama’s failures. Of course we shouldn’t hate anyone. But, being frustrated with a failure of policy is something that’s OK. I “love” Obama as a Christian, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I want him to be a one term president!
I’m with you and the candidates who are totally frustrated with Obama’s and Bernanke’s “leadership”! And while Ron Paul may be a tough sell, I am hoping he will stand out enough in this very critical time that the electorate will finally see him as the only one who has consistently stuck to his principles and that those principles, which may have sounded “out there” during the 40 year debt super cycle we have been in, are in fact correct.

So true Ben, it goes to show that the media has an agenda. Even Fox doesn’t like Ron Paul. Since this post, I’ve actually changed my mind about Michelle Bachman. I’m on the fence with Herman Cain and 100% behind Ron Paul at this point. Ron Paul Revolution baby!
