Michele Bachmann prays that God will save us from health reform
:crazy:


from the Minnesota Independent:



Bachmann: Prayer and fasting will help defeat health care reform
By Paul Demko 8/24/09 4:35 PM


On Wednesday Rep. Michele Bachmann was part of a star-studded “teletownhall” meeting to discuss health-care reform. The event, billed “Keeping Faith with the Unborn,” was sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion advocacy group. The organization’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, claimed that there were some 350,000 listeners on the line.

Bachmann was joined by North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx, most famous for calling Matthew Shepard’s murder a “hoax,” and former Colorado Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, who made national headlines by refusing to concede after losing her re-election contest November. But even with such veteran political pugilists sharing the phone line, Bachmann managed to distinguish herself during the 90-minute phone call.

The 6th district Republican quoted the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, attacked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for receiving political contributions from a medical doctor who was murdered in May, and called on everyone to get down on their knees and pray that health care reform fails. Bachmann didn’t always make sense, but she undoubtedly scared the living daylights out of anyone on the line.

Bachmann repeated the myth, adopted early by Sarah Palin, that the health-care plans being debated in Congress would set up “death panels” to determine which old folks are entitled to health care. “Thank God that Sarah Palin said that,” she told the callers. “These are true.” .......(more)

3. I wish she would just keep praying and fasting ...
and quit talking when the press is around. I mean, hey, if she thinks God is going to take care of it, why is she bothering with the press? Can somebody please convince her of this? It's embarrassing to watch her display her crazy like that.

I can't think of a better reason for the bill to pass. Another nail in Bachmann's coffin. Of course millions getting affordable health care will be nice too :)

10. She has help from "GOD"
She has a little help from "THE FAMILY"


Included among the Family's key supporters are billionaire Paul N. Temple, a former executive of Esso (Exxon) and the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Three Swallows Foundation. Between 1998 and 2007, Three Swallows made grants totaling $1,777,650 to the International Foundation, including $148,000 in 2003, $171,500 in 2004, $203,500 in 2006, and $145,000 in 2007.. Another supporter, Jerome (Jerry) A. Lewis, established Denver-based Downing Street Foundation to provide support to only three organizations: the Family (Fellowship Foundation), Denver Leadership Foundation, and Young Life. Between 1999 and 2007, Downing Street donated at least $756,000 to the Family,<45><46><47><48><49><50><51><52><53> in addition to allowing the Family to use its "retreat center." Madelynn Winstead, a Downing Street director, was paid $21,500 by the Fellowship Foundation as managing director of the retreat center.<51> Winstead also sites on the board of directors of ENDOW, a Catholic educational program that brings women together to discover their God-given dignity and to understand their role in humanizing and transforming society.<54>

*** The Kingdom Fund (Kingdom Oil Christian Foundation t/a Twin Cities Christian Foundation) also provides support to the Family and World Vision.<55>****
