Bachmann needs to be sent packing. Her latest McCarty-esque witch hunt on Muslim Americans proves that she is unfit to be elected dog catcher, much less hold a seat in Congress. She finds it impossible to deal in facts and instead grabs headlines by making demonstrably false statements and yet clings to her fictions. She is a hazard to the republic!

We need to go global like Obama. It is only bad if the money is going to conservatives, outside money to liberals is just fine and dandy! Lots more to come, good to see people get involved financially and volunteer to help candidates, must be fed up about something?

People of the 6th District and people from afar recognize the worth of our representative Michele Bachmann. Thank you donators from around the country who value her leadership and positions of importance to America.

It's out of control. Both parties included! We the voters are no longer involved in the selection process. Candidates raise millions of dollars for a $100,000 job so they can come back from DC as millionaires. This country's headed for the toilet

@mom2flour Importance? To whom? War profiteers and corporate oligarchs?

@ smeeagain2: Bachmann is one of those that stands in defense of the Republic!

No surprise there. Bachmann loves money and she will go against her well-known supposed "Small government" stances to stuff more money into her pockets. Examples? Voting to re-authorize the BIG GOVT. Patriot Act, Fund WARS with tax-payer dollars, BIG GOVT. Food Modernization Act (Billions of tax-payer dollars spent) and most important the St. Croix River Bridge pork project, costing 676 million dollars and paid for in part by the residents of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights via taxes.

It's donors, mom2four, and not "donators." Donators, which sounds like "senators" may be a word much closer to the truth in representative Bachmman's case, so I appreciate your candor. With their wealth, these investors buy influence so that Michelle can go on yapping for Fox News. Sadly, for anyone who is not an ideologue, Bachmman is of little use, but the age has long since past since Republicans nominated public servants who did anything else but create sound bites...

--We need to go global like Obama--Whatcha mean? I'm sure Sheldon Adelson who's under subsequently under investigation for "The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act" is probably laundering foreign donation money in. You also got Mittens with his off shore bank accounts. Who knows what foreign investments and foreign investors are funneling funds into those.

Why does this Star "reporter" obsess about Michele Obama? If you want to analyze where contributions come from why not list them for everyone? A biased article from your liberal cheerleader - I mean reporter.
