Bachmann Turns Over (Sucker) Lists, Rakes In Money

Just get a job like (most of) the rest
of us, you mooching taking leech!
It is all grift, the Minneapolis StarTribune makes clear:
WASHINGTON – Michele Bachmann hasn’t run for office in nearly three years, but the former Minnesota congresswoman is still raising cash and spending lavishly, dropping $300 on limousines in New York right around Thanksgiving and staying last fall at the luxurious L’Ermitage hotel in Beverly Hills, where most rooms go for $400 a night or higher.

Records show Bachmann for Congress spent roughly $25,000 in the last three months of 2014 on airline tickets, a private club membership and pricey dinners in Washington D.C., Los Angeles and New York. Her campaign even paid $470 to renew the plates on a vehicle in St. Paul last December — weeks before she stepped down from office.

It was May 2013 when Bachmann launched a predawn YouTube video in which she declared she would not seek a fifth congressional term. But since then, the provocative Tea Party conservative has continued to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, mainly by selling off her donor lists to other organizations. Federal records show that in the last three months of 2014, Bachmann raised $170,000 from selling e-mail lists.

She raised more than $800,000 in both small and large donations in 2013 — some of those arriving after she announced she wasn’t running for office. She refunded about $14,000 to supporters in 2013, presumably after she made that announcement.

During the first few months of this year she raised nearly $5,000 in online donations, records show.
Frighteningly accurate, for a number w/ maybe 40 different words max.
