Michele Bachmann Campaign Blowing Up YouTube Before the Caucus

In two videos posted on YouTube today, GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann pushed the "Iron Lady" of America title and she tells voters how to caucus.

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is using a popular social media tool this week to reach out to voters in Tuesday's Iowa Caucus.

Posted today, Bachmann's camp is running a video on YouTube telling potential voters how to caucus on Jan. 3. It also features an introduction recorded from her stop at the on Dec. 28.

Bachmann recorded similar intros in other counties on the bus tour including one in Polk County.

"Iron Lady" Television Ad

Also new this week, Bachmann is running a television ad in Iowa that further compares her to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

The new ad titled, "Iron Lady," talks about Bachmann's intentions of fighting Obamacare, excessive spending and tax increases. The Iron Lady comparison demonstrates how hard-willed Bachmann will be when it comes to maintaining her conservative values. 

Attendees at the Waukee Pizza Ranch might remember Bachmann's stump speech when she stated that she wanted to be the "Iron Lady of America."

"Margaret Thatcher came in and she turned England around. She got them set on the right course and they called her the 'Iron Lady.' They meant that term as a mean term, but she wore it as a badge of honor. She said, 'That means I’m principled. That means I stand.' That’s me too. I want to be America’s Iron Lady," said Bachmann.

so why does this "Iron Lady" fears comments and video statistics on her youtube channel ? She should give it up, no sane person is going to vote for her OR any other candidate except Ron Paul !

Could one of the reasons for the population loss in rural Iowa be the lack of decent paying jobs?Read More There are large portions of rural Iowa where there are minimum wage jobs without benefits. Wal-Mart has replaced many small businesses in rural counties. Many of their workers need welfare to survive. The welfare programs that Wal-Mart workers rely on include Medicaid, subsidized housing and food assistance. Meanwhile Wal-Mart and other corporations are setting records for corporate profits. A May 2013 report “The Low-Wage Drag on Our Economy: Wal-Mart’s Low Wages and Their Effect on Taxpayers and Economic Growth” shows how their business model exerts downward pressure on wages. Should we continue to support a created taxpayer-funded social welfare program by corporations? Raising the minimum wage could help alleviate those programs.

Julia Ziesman, I boycott Walmart for the reasons you listed. American taxpayers subsidize Walmart'sRead More low wages and poor benefits with $2.1 billion a year. Collectively, Sam Walton's heirs contributed a whole $6,000 to charity. I looked up the three class-action lawsuits against Walmart that I knew about and found 71. Many lawsuits against Walmart are to try to make courts enforce their many rulings against Walmart. I was really upset when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to allow Walmart women workers' lawsuit against Walmart to proceed as a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit that shocked me the most was that of a 33-year-old handicapped woman in a wheelchair who wouldn't believe that Walmart had shaved her time card hours in order to pay her less than the pitiful hourly wage she should have earned. Her lawyers had to produce documents to prove to her that Walmart was really that unethical.
