Sorry, Congresswoman Bachmann, Your Political Career Will NOT Rise From The Dead!

October 31st - When Spirits Rise From Their Graves!
November 4 - When Political Careers Are Pronounced Dead!

Michele Bachmann will believe just about anyone who says "I've been saved and born again! Glory hallelujah!"; that, along with large donations to her political career will insure her loyalty. Think of it: here is a congresswoman who calls for the investigation of Congress (by the media) in determining how many are "anti-American" while she requests a pardon from the President for a reformed ex-con who is definitely not reformed.

Frank Vennes, Jr. is a man of many schemes, all of them nefarious and all of them illegal: fraud, money laundering, firearm and drug offenses. The latest raid on Vennes' house looked like a scene from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves :

Last week, agents with the FBI, IRS criminal investigative division and U.S. Postal Inspection Service seized scores of documents, computers and records from Vennes' home -- including checkbooks from one of the charities he had sponsored.

Also:

"...boxes and buckets of silver and gold coins, trays of jewelry, five stacks of $100 bills, boxes of gem stones, silver plates and Rolex watches. Agents also seized diamond rings and numerous paintings, including dozens with religious themes, such as the raising of Lazarus from the dead." Vennes and his brother donated over $35,000 to Bachmann's campaigns over a period of only 3 years. They were her largest individual contributers.

Yesterday, it was disclosed that Bachmann removed her request from the president when it was learned that Vennes was still under investigation. She gave the money, ostensibly, to "charity":

(From the Minnesota Independent):

Last week, Bachmann said that her campaign had given a contribution from Frank Vennes Jr., an ex-con under federal investigation, to charity. FEC records indicate the charity was Minnesota Teen Challenge, “a faith-based evangelical recovery program on whose board of directors Vennes served as recently as February 2008.”

“Vennes’ contribution to Bachmann, in other words, seems essentially to have gone from the pocket of one Vennes pal to the pocket of another.”

Another reason why we should look askance at "faith-based evangelical recovery programs?" Nah, but it IS a reason to kick Bachmann out of Congress for (at best) being a gullible fool or (at worst) being an uber-hypocrite and corrupt.

Is Bachmann anti-American?


Just a thought.
