Michele Bachmann's Unrivaled Extremism: Gay Rights to Religion - The Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-06-14/michele-bachmanns-unrivaled-extremism-gay-rights-to-religion/?cid=bsa:mostpopular1)

Id vote Donald Trump before voting for her.

SS, Newt's campaign was over the day he announced. It wasnt going anywhere.

Stick a fork in a Newt, what a disaster.

I predict Bachmann will win Iowa and shake things up in S.C. So far she's run a pretty decent campaign. I seriously doubt Trump would have done this well without any drama.

When americans get to know her they'll wish she hadn't run:

So Jon Huntsman is officially in, but honestly I just don't see him defeating Mitt Romney in any of the early states, much less winning a general election. There's something very manufactured about him. It's still very early, we'll see. His roll out was very blah.

Rick Perry still might jump in. I'm sure they're doing some internal polling right now testing the waters. My gut says he won't, but the longer he drags it out the more difficult it will be to organize a serious field team, tap big donors, and get some traction in Iowa and N.H.

I'm not sure about that. Huntsman is the second coming of Ronald Reagan and Republicans don't even know it.

Honestly, there's nothing special about Romney and if there's anyone that's manufactured I would pick him out of the lineup.

Good read on Huntsman here

She's the kind of religious wacko the tea baggers and zealots on the right love. So just by that, she'll have a shot.

This is the type of sh*t that scares me from her:

"She even told the congregation that she and hubby Marcus — who by then had opened a Christian counseling center — had been united not by love but by a unique series of divine visions experienced by three people simultaneously.

Bachmann claimed that back in her college days, she was up one night praying with a female friend of hers when "the Lord gave each one of us the same, exact vision... It was a picture of me, marrying this man, in the valley where his parents have a farm in western Wisconsin." Meanwhile, miles away, Marcus "was repairing a fence on the farm where he worked, and the Lord showed him in a vision that he was supposed to marry me." According to Bachmann, Marcus initially complained to God that he wanted to see the world first, and only later relented."




Ummmm i cant have this person in charge of the military or nuclear weapons. No way in hell
