Note that in the video below Bachmann uses the word "Democrat" when she should have said "Democratic." Either she's a blithering idiot, a la Palin, or she's using the same slur other Republicans use about Democrats - they refuse to use the "ic" when using the word as an adjective because they believe that saying "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" sounds more pejorative. Yes, this is the level of emotional maturity we're dealing with.
From AMERICAblog Elections: The Right's Field:
The Washington Post reports today that in 2008 Michele Bachmann and her husband took out a $417,000 loan from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac only days before she called for the end of Fannie and Freddie.
Just a few weeks before Bachmann called for dismantling the programs during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, she and her husband signed for a $417,000 home loan to help finance their move to a 5,200-square-foot golf-course home, public records show. Experts who examined the loan documents for The Washington Post say that they are confident the loan was backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
