Michelle Bachmann’s ignorance astounds me. Does she really believe that the American people would overlook her relationships and business dealings because she is running for the presidency and not the people closest to her?!!! Remember the saying…”Birds of a feather, flock together”?! Her personal relationships, affiliations, and personal history is a window into what type of person she is, and whether we believe she has the integrity, character and disposition to lead a country as diverse as ours.

Just from the little that I’ve seen of her, she does not have it in her to be even a decent president.

If she can’t even be honest about her own business, she shouldn’t even be in Congress. If she’s hellbent on invading people’s personal lives instead of tackling the actual problems America is facing, she is not the kind of person we want to be president. Her whole campaign is a joke.

When I read/hear about Michelle Bachmann, only 3 words come to mind: “BAT SHIT CRAZY”

While I don’t disagree with the comment from the HRC representative that Rep. Bachmann’s position on this appears to be “…out of step with those of everyday Americans,” I think that this is not the point that needs to be made. She should be criticized even for being “jarringly out of step with those” of Americans of faith and the majority of Christians. Those who take Christianity seriously and thoughtfully — unlike biblical literalists or fundamentalists whose strong suit is merely repeating what they think “the Bible says” — understand that every person is created in God’s image and likeness, and thus deserves the full respect inherent to human dignity.

In your story you say that Michele Bachmann represents Minnesota in the House of Representatives.
\She actually only represents one Congressional District in Minnesota. Let’s not make her look more important than she is!

She’s a nut job, plain and simple who will go no place!

I am not a journalist but I have every intention of spreading the word about this woman’s tactics, strategies, ever lie, every mistep, every fraudulent remark…it is getting to the point where she isn’t saying ANYTHING at all about ANYTHING because she has no credibility! She is a crackpot, a bigot, a liar, an oportunist, a fraud, a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, a false prophet, a Fascist-like legislator who supports Constitutional Amendments to REMOVE rights not GIVE them, some of what she supports was also supported by the NAZI Party, she is disruptive not unifying, a propagandist, a religious ZEALOT, a smear campainer, and, my opinion, everything that is wrong with America today and EVERYONE, not just her constituents should be “armed and dangerous” against her!

I would posture that if Michelle can’t be honest about her family business (she IS part of the Bachmann family) she can’t be trusted in any other area of politics and national interests either. A very poor choice for nominee or participant.

Michele Bachmann is in no position to refuse questions about the clinics which she co-owns with her husband Marcus, where they sell to the unsuspecting public a quack mental health service known as “ex-gay therapy.” The Bachmanns collect profits from both clinics, and those profits are paid partly with federal and state taxpayer dollars. This treatment was long ago discredited by many reputable, professional medical/mental health organizations, so the Bachmanns’ continued sale of this program to vulnerable patients constitutes both consumer fraud and medical/mental malpractice.

Courageous journalists everywhere need to keep up the pressure on these topics.

Michele Bachmann and her husband are both very far out. Not good for the U.S. She is running on her own “gay agenda” platform. We are closing schools, laying people off. Family’s are being foreclosed on and being put out in the streets. And all this Republican running for President and her husband can do is talk about is “praying away the gay”. It is a good money maker for her, but we have bigger things to do, and I am hopping God has to. If you or your church has the gay agenda on your mind, all the time you may need to set down and talk with someone. We need to start looking at what is best for the country. Not our own religion’s views, that blow in the wind.
