interesting that she acknowledges she can get things wrong, but refuses to recognize when that happens.
i agree with one of the people who commented-can't they get a woman to run for pres that's knowledgable, not just pretty?

I think many of us said that once she enters the race, the public scrutiny of her radical beliefs would expose her for what she is...a mean spirited, homophobic, far right wing nut. Obviously we can add hypocrite to that. She has appeal to folks who think the way she does and unfortunately there are quite a few but the Republican Party will soundly reject her.

Radical beliefs? We have a racist socialist FAR left winger in office and you are complaining about her. I wouldn't vote for her because if there is one thing our current Bozo has proven to me is we need someone that has experience running a business or at least a state.

Our current President is FAR from being a FAR left winger.

lol
far left?
obama has done as other dem presidents before hime-move to the middle. his continuation of many bush policies also indicates he's far from left wing. his first two years in office left many dems very unhappy with him, and his lack of true change-which is what he ran on.
when you attempt to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. i don't think many are happy with him at all-but many still think he's better than an alternative.

Michele Bachmann, the Republican presidential candidate, signed a Christian conservative pledge that stated that African American children were more likely to grow up in stable families during the era of slavery than under President Barack Obama.

The controversial linkage of slavery to family values was made in the preamble to a pro-traditional marriage pledge given to White House contenders by The Family Value, a group in the first-voting state of Iowa, where Mrs Bachmann is the joint Republican front runner.

"Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President," the opening statement introducing the pledge read.

Michele Bachmann's Holy WarThe Tea Party contender may seem like a goofball, but be warned: Her presidential campaign is no laughing matter

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and, as you consider the career and future presidential prospects of an incredible American phenomenon named Michele Bachmann, do one more thing. Don't laugh.

It may be the hardest thing you ever do, for Michele Bachmann is almost certainly the funniest thing that has ever happened to American presidential politics. Fans of obscure 1970s television may remember a short-lived children's show called Far Out Space Nuts, in which a pair of dimwitted NASA repairmen, one of whom is played by Bob (Gilligan) Denver, accidentally send themselves into space by pressing "launch" instead of "lunch" inside a capsule they were fixing at Cape Canaveral. This plot device roughly approximates the political and cultural mechanism that is sending Michele Bachmann hurtling in the direction of the Oval Office.

Bachmann is a religious zealot whose brain is a raging electrical storm of divine visions and paranoid delusions. She believes that the Chinese are plotting to replace the dollar bill, that light bulbs are killing our dogs and cats, and that God personally chose her to become both an IRS attorney who would spend years hounding taxpayers and a raging anti-tax Tea Party crusader against big government. She kicked off her unofficial presidential campaign in New Hampshire, by mistakenly declaring it the birthplace of the American Revolution. "It's your state that fired the shot that was heard around the world!" she gushed. "You are the state of Lexington and Concord, you started the battle for liberty right here in your backyard."




further down:

Regent was unabashed in its desire that its graduates enter government and become "change agents" who would help bring the law more in line with "eternal principles of justice," i.e., biblical morality. To that end, Bachmann was mentored by a crackpot Christian extremist professor named John Eidsmoe, a frequent contributor to John Birch Society publications who once opined that he could imagine Jesus carrying an M16 and who spent considerable space in one of his books musing about the feasibility of criminalizing blasphemy.

Anybody want to make a wager on if Mark Taibbi is a Left Wing Liberal who highly endorsed that scumbag we have in office now. I'll bet he is.
Too bad Bachman isn't black because bozo's like this wouldn't have the balls to say anything bad about a black woman.
