As if the money for Bachmann’s re-election campaign coming from magical sex elixirs wasn’t bad enough for the woman who claims to fight for “traditional family values“. Now it seems as though some of that campaign money is coming from family friendly strip shows in Las Vegas. H/T to America Blog & Firedoglake: Pete Sessions (R) from Texas and his leadership PAC, People for Enterprise, Trade, & Economic Growth (PETEPAC) held a little party at a Las Vegas “Club” back in March of this year. By the end of March, PETEPAC generously gave our 6th District Congresswoman a contribution of $2500. This is how the club’s owner, Ivan Kane, describes his brand of burlesque.

A name appears in the 2nd Quarter FEC reports of Michele Bachmann:Who is Mr. William Hudlow? Well, he just happens to be … Continue reading →

Michele Bachmann has become a media darling of the conservative movement. From appearances at right wing organizations at the expense of appearing before her own constituents to championing unrealistic plans in the hopes she can convince people that it will bring $2 a gallon gasoline. Yet, for all of this attention and media coverage (most of which is with outlets far away from her district) her latest FEC report reflects a candidate being propped up, not by those in her district or even those in the corporate world but rather, by the helping hand of over 40 leadership PACS and campaign committees of ultra-conservative candidates across the country.
