Michele Bachmann, one of the Republican Presidential candidates from Minnesota (the other being Tim Pawlenty), is now polling at number two right behind Mitt Romney. I wonder about the rationality of voters who strongly support her. She's extremely inflexible and bigoted. Bachmann and associates DOES practice reparative therapy, and Bachmann refuses to consider tax increases as part of the budget deal on the table (thought his could be leveled against any Republican). She called for investigation into members of Congress who may hold "anti-american views". And she's just downright crazy with her beliefs on homosexuality. Why should such a person be supported?
A President should be able to assess evidence and change opinions accordingly, and should not be a bigot. She refuses to change her mind on anything, even with the evidence is staring her in the face, such as is the case with homosexuality and evolution. She has irresponsibly said that she won't vote to raise the debt-ceiling, and in doing so it is not a big deal. Default isn't a real threat. Stephen Colbert likes to use the word "truthiness" for politicians who play fast and loose with the facts, and Michele Bachmann seems to be the epitome of that word.
