Is a vote for Bachmann really a vote for her husband?
Since the right wing do not think women should vote, speak, think, or anything else, would a vote for Michelle Bachmann really be for her husband. Bachmann herself had said that she is following her husband's advice from god. We know from Palin's emails that Todd had much more to do with the governor's office than many people knew. And Ann Coulter made the statement in a speech here in Chattanooga that the Republican party thinks women should not vote.

1. Two words. Hillary and Bill.

We'll treat the Bachman's in kind.

On edit: I misread the post to mean something else. My apologies.

I was answering to what I thought was the request to leave her husband out of it.

Bill and Hillary--to republicans--were interchangeable if you will--during all of their campaigns.

In other words--spouses were NOT off limits. That was the extent of my meaning.

5. So married Democratic women are their husbands' pawns?

And it's Bachmanns. Since you are referring to the two of them.

Try to use spell check when being sexist and insulting.

8. I am speaking of how they were treated as ONE person
interchangeable if you will--during all of their campaigns.

In other words--spouses are NOT off limits. That was the extent of my meaning.

I still am not getting what "you" took from it. Perhaps it is something that only YOU know.

And please don't insult me by calling me sexist...you are surely barking up the wrong tree.

As far as the spelling/misspelling of the name--if I cared enough about the creature I would have looked to make sure it was correct. But I neither care enough nor respect enough to do so...but I can certainly spell dumb ass. Does that work for you?

11. As you may recall,
during the primaries, some touted Hillary's time as FLOTUS as experience that qualified her for the presidency.

7. Hillary and Bill weren't fundagelical wackjobs
Michelle graduated from Oral Roberts University, and Marcus from Pat Robertson's Regent University.

They are true believers in the fundagelical "wives must submit to their husbands" doctrine.

I don't see Bill trying that crap with Hillary, even though he called himself a Southern Baptist.

4. Since every Repub Pres since Reagan has been a puppet anyway...
I guess we're just discussing who actually pulls the strings, right?

6. I have a feeling the real puppeteers are a lot scarier than little ol' Marcus.

9. Absolutely.....
and actually, it might be since Nixon. Ford strikes me as the first real sock puppet president we had.

12. If you're going to vote for Bachmann, you might as well just vote for Charlie Manson
