		<description>Look, the bills she will not support are more of the same kinds of legislation that created the problem leading to all these foreclosures.  If we follow the government bailout plan, we will just prolong the inevitable, and compond the problem.  5,227 foreclosures now on folks who can&#039;t afford the homes they bought, or 10,000 later on the same people plus another 5,000 that will get mortgages even though they can&#039;t afford it.  Stop the madness.  People do not have a &quot;right&quot; to own a home.  The government is not responsible to ensure you get one.  Grow up, work hard, and enjoy the fruits of your labor, not someone elses labor.</description>

		<description>Show me proof that any of the bills Bachmann opposed would have done any good. The fact is that anyone going through foreclosure has many easy ways out if they have the wherewithal to pursue their rights and sniff out the massive amount of fraud that has been perpetrated on them. If they believe that blanket government &quot;regulations&quot; are going to swoop in and save them from a process that is fraudulent at its very core, then they are getting what they deserve for their own laziness. People need to start realizing that they funded the loan with their own signature on the loan docs, allowing the bank to create money out of thin air in the process, and this is only the beginning of the fraud. There is enough fraud in the average mortgage contract to fill volumes. Get wise America, you&#039;ve been taken over by the bankers and their attorneys. Fight back!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.americaindistress.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.americaindistress.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tpuc.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.tpuc.org&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>But isn&#039;t this the essence of the deep exurb and their leaders in the Republican Party?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Deep exurbs are the land of the unrealisitic - land is cheap, gas is cheap, and real estate prices are always going to rise.  I&quot;m free and independent out here in the country, and I don&#039;t need nuthin&#039; from the government.  Unless of course gas stops being cheap, or real estate prices stop going up.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And MIchele Bachman is their high priestess</description>
