For the life of me I cannot believe that she was elected over Patty Wetterling. Patty is a solid, stable dependable person. All Michele Bachman ever did in the run up to the election was showboating. She tried to introduce legislation against gay marriage at a time when she knew full well was the wrong time of the legislative cycle to do it. It was a a PR stunt. She claimed that lesbians attacked her in the bathroom during a political function. Her lines in speeches regarding the farm community and global warming were nonsensical. She's an unwavering supporter of Bush even though there is evidence that he misled the country. She supports him because he is supposedly a religious man. Anyone can say that they are religious! Shall we cast away the democratic process just because someone claims that God told him to run for president? I simply have a hard time believing that she fairly won that seat. Especially since the people of that district previously had to deal with the Bush loving BS of that snake oil salesman Mark Kennedy. How could they elect her after having to deal with his scheming?

She’s an unwavering supporter of Bush even though there is evidence that he misled the country. She supports him because he is supposedly a religious man. Anyone can say that they are religious!

That's all their is, folks. Rx2, I agree with you for the first time since you began posting! 'Crazy as a Loon' is not only an excellent descriptor, it's also our MN state bird. This lady is one of Tim Pawlenty's, our governor's favorites, as well. This is a man who has his eyes on Washington & is being groomed by the GOP for bigger & badder things. In regard to our Gov., we have a saying here...'Living with less in the land of Pawlenty'. Michelle, you're out of your league. Nothing against your bible, but it has no bearing in important political strategery. What Bachmann brings to Congress is impeccable hair and a bible.

Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing Jewish extremist, Anwar Sadat was assassinated by right-wing Islamic extremists, and the Oklahoma City Federal Building was blown up by right-wing Christian extremists. The pattern is clear - what we need is less religious netherworld fundies and a whole lot more reality-based decision makers. Elect them to public office? If they're running on their "religiosity", it should be an immediate strike against them. Instead of rewarding them with our votes, they should be marginalized by society, and not even given our commercial business. I look for "fish signs" and do just that; if they need to advertise their Christianity, they're immediately suspect, and I won't do business - you can't tell me Jesus the Christ would approve of such a practice. They can hold a Tammy Fae telethon to make their money. This is what happens when your world is filled with spooks, hells, original sins, speaking in “tongues”, virgin births, and televangelists.

Under the guise of presenting Christian testimony at a church service, Bachmann spoke about her life, her political agenda, and candidacy for Congress. Bachmann revealed that God has been personally speaking to her and commanding her since she was sixteen years old, sometimes sending her religious visions. For example... Bachmann believes that God commanded her to run for United States Congress. Perhaps her knowledge of the secret plan came to her in the same manner.
