A Vote for Michelle Bachmann is a Vote to Reconstruct the Past We Fought so hard to Overcome

One does not have to ever be a slave to know it is not a happy life. So called Christians like Mrs. Bachmann and Gov. Perry have no idea what it's like to live in the real world. They have had wealth and priveledge all their lives off the sweat of the poor and middle class. So accustomed they've become to their positions they view it as a divine right. As if somehow they have been divinely chosen and we are all slaves in their eyes. Since they allow us to have amenities(but not for free) we should be grateful or they will take our country back...to 1840

Michelle Bachmann needs serious mental health therapy and not the kind of therapy performed by her husband. Only an insane person would insinuate African American children were better off during slavery.

Either she's insane or harbors deep latent racial feelings she's unaware. Don't forget that she also believes carbon dioxide is a harmless gas. I personally thinks she's insane. The connection that lights her bulb isn't working properly.

A vote for Michele is a wasted vote.

Although no one really knows what goes on in a mind like that of Bachmann, I think it would be safe to assume she believes the only good life for children is in an intact, two-parent family. She would probably tell you it is better for a woman being beaten by her husband to remain in the marriage than separate the children from the father. She is probably opposed to single moms and dads in general, and without a doubt would never approve of a gay couple raising a child. I would guess that according to her, it would be better that a child was never born than to be born to atheists. How and by whom a child is loved is not important to her, only that they are raised by a Christian mom and a dad together.

You didn't get the full quote. Here it is:

"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.

There is some truth to Ms Bachman's words when you look at the entire quote. How many black 2 parent households do you see today? 40% of black babies in NY are aborted. Would it be better to be aborted or be the child of a slave family with a mother and father?

I don't care how the liberal media spins it. If she wins the primary she gets my vote. Call her what ever you want I will vote for anybody but Obama.

The self-annointed Queen of White Tea waxes nostalgic, yearning for the days of yesteryear when white folks ruled the roost, gays stayed in the closet or got shot, abortions required a coat hanger and a dark alley, and minorities knew their place in society.

The woman is an idiot of the worse kind. Not only is she an idiot, she's ignorant! I guess the correct term would be she's an educated fool.

Once parent(s) were sold to different slave owners, the children were raised by whomever took them in. In other words, Michelle Bachmann, many children of slaves had no parent(s).

Children born into slavery, when old enough were sold away from their parent(s)

Bachmann is an idiot. What is even more scary is how many Americans will be voting for her if she runs in the primaries.

bubba (that pretty much says it all, right here), we HAVE heard, or read the entire passage, and it is still a reeking pile of far wrong-wing offal...

you may say what you will, and i will stand with you in your right to say it, but, and there always is a 'but', you cannot make Bachmann's acceptance of this...outrageous bastardization of history right !!!

go ahead and defend the indefensible, if you must. but please, know that there are those of us who are disgusted by these asinine and deplorable pronouncements by those who would re-write history to delude their constituents into believing a LIE !!!

luv,

Not to worry here, I would vote for my Golden retriever before I would vote for Ms. Bachmann, the dog has more sense (and may be better versed in American history).

She is a closed-minded, ignorant bigot. She has no ability for self-awareness or introspection. She has never given a thought to what slaves went through or what their lives were like and she makes up her own form of history rather than learning the real facts. What really bothers me the most is not that she signed this ridiculous pledge because she herself is ridiculous, but that whoever wrote it would put wording in a pledge concerning slavery. The pledge was supposed to be about marital fidelity so why bring slavery into it? These people are lunatics and very, very scary.

How odd...most of the people I've met are trying to overcome the present. And guess what, it's obama, not Bachman, that impedes them.

This woman has one thing in common with palin. They both make my skin crawl and when either opens their mouth it is much like someone taking fingernails to a chalk board. Yes, it is seriously that big of a turnoff. Oh Hillary, were you the last of the sophisticated and educated women on the planet. They really had to go some to dig these two up I tell ya.
