'I usually don't like to see women in power, but Michele Bachmann is ok with me'
http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/06/rep-michele-bachmann-to-obama-administration-man-up/

This will probably aggravate some folks, but, in general, I prefer that leaders be strong conservative men, and if they’re Christian men, that’s even better. I don’t usually like to see women in positions of political power. That’s just me, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, though many who do probably won’t admit it publicly.

That being said, I must say that I am happy to see the refreshing boldness of the truly conservative Republican Congressman Michele Bachman of Minnesota, who has actually earned the title of Congressman by really representing the people of her state. No, I’m not politically correct; she’s a Congressman in my book, period. Just as “man” and “mankind” includes women, so a congressman can be female. I’m old-fashioned that way.

Michele Bachmann takes strong stands against wasteful government spending and has cosponsored a bill to reduce the deficit and promote real economic recovery. She has introduced four pieces of legislation that would free up our access to our own energy sources here in America, while at the same time continuing to invest in the search for effective alternative energy sources. She’s pro-life and supports our right to keep and bear arms. The NRA likes her. And, she supports the repeal of the grossly unconstitutional health care deform bill.

Congressman Bachmann jumped up another notch in my mind this week when Dr. Michael Savage had her on his show to talk about the United States and the world’s response to Israel stopping the group of Turkish ships that attempted to break Israel’s very legitimate blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza.
She pointed out that this was an obvious test by the “radical, shariah-compliant terrorist types” to see what kind of response they would get from not just Israel, but the United States, as well. She pointed out that they learned that the United States did not stand by our ally Israel.

2. At the very least, this nutcase spends half her time explaining
She at least has the consciousness to recognize how much crazy she's spouting, just not enough wit or intelligence to, you know, do something about it. How strange, though, that someone so hooked on allegedly Christian principles has little compunction about bearing false witness and lying so glibly.

Thing is, there are a lot of people who agree with what you posted. I don't find that so amusing.

12. she talks about 'sharia'
maybe she should look into sharia, maybe she'd like it. Bachmann too, she once said she let her husband make her career choices because men should run the family.

I vote for a burqua with one of those screens so we don't have to see those crazy eyes so much.

10. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????????????????????????????
Edited on Thu Jun-10-10 01:05 PM by BrklynLiberal
Congressman Bachmann concludes her words on Israel to Dr. Michael Savage with this ,

“We need to really ask our question now. Will the United States man up? Will we man-up—will we stand by our ally Israel, and will we deliver some tough love to the thugs out there, or won’t we? And, unfortunately, the tepid response of the United States, I think, sends yet one more signal from the Obama administration of weakness when it comes to our friend, Israel.”

Right on, Michele Bachmann! You’re a breath of fresh air, and Minnesota is blessed to have you.

Gina Miller, a native of Texas, is a radio disc jockey. She also works with her husband installing and repairing residential irrigation systems and doing landscaping on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

That was at the end of the article. The writer of the article is from Texas, we would gladly send michael down there.

Most of Minnesota does not want her. She is a hate monger to the 10th degree. She uses the word god to stand behind so she can fill the world with her brand of callous disregard for human life.

18. shariah-compliant terrorist type . . .
Christian extremist . . . Muslim extremist.
If she converted to Islam, she'd be the same person, with the same thoughts and the same insane aspirations.
I can see where she uses faith to widen her eyes.

22. The hypocrisy of a woman hating woman never, never ceases to
amaze and disgust me.

If the mouthpiece at the link doesn't think women should have political power, I suggest she turn off her computer, give up her day jobs, and return to her righteous place in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant and silent as the Good Book has been quoted as saying.

Why does she hate God's Word?

24. I've seen something very similar with fundie women
One spouted off the revelation shit with no deeper thought at all, and yet when she wanted more kids (shot-nosed little fundies--the next generation) she went for fertility drugs. She can't believe in evolution, but she can believe in the science behind it? Don't tell me there isn't a disconnect somewhere in this picture.

23. I wonder how she'd feel if her customers didn't hire her because they don't
think a woman can maintain irrigation systems and do landscaping. :eyes:

I guess, like her, since she spouts misogynistic bullshit she's almost as good as a man. Like Michelle. :puke:
