Hi, I’m playing catch-up here, so if you’ve seen this already, great! You already know about the bubble that you, as a gay, are blowing, that is messing up Michele Bachmann’s concept of the “family.” If not:
“The family is on a bubble right now. The rate of cohabitating couples in one year increased 13 percent,” she said. “The family is the ultimate first form and first unit in government and society.”
She added, “The bureaucrats now hate our values; there’s a war on marriage, a war on family, a war on fertility all while funding and promoting abortion.”
Bachmann continued, “We don’t need political correctness because most fundamentally I believe the building block of the family is what the government needs to do right now and support two-parent families as the foundation of our economic and social policy.”
She said for that reason, social issues need to be a priority. “We can’t put the so called social issues on the back burner while we are solving our economic challenges because the family is the solution to those challenges.”
Yet another bubble Bachmann sees is the “national security bubble,” and the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the ban on gay and lesbian servicemembers repealed by the U.S. Senate in December, is one of those things that is creating the bubble.
“President Obama is applying a politically correct standard to the United States military that cannot be tolerated in our country,” she said, adding that Obama is babying jihadists.
Bubbles! But if she really wants to support two-parent families, I’d suggest that she wrap her crazy eyes around the fact that there are lots of GAY two-parent families out there raising children, so unless Michele Bachmann wants to be seen as only supporting SOME children, she’d better sharpen up. Also, all sane military analysts agree that DADT repeal will strengthen our military.
So that’s the part about gayness, but since this woman fancies herself a presidential candidate, it’s also important to note that in the same speech, Michele Bachmann suggested that Glenn Beck could fix our deficit with his chalkboards. Oh, goody.

The only thing there is a war on, Ms Bachmann, is ignorance – and it’s about damn time!!!!!!!!!
So Michelle wants to decrease co-habitating couples and increase support for married two-parent households? Then support marriage equality! Seems like an easy answer.
YES BUT THEN SUPPORTING MARRIAGE EQUALITY WILL REDUCE SIGNIFICANTLY HER ABILITY RAISE MONEY BASED SOLELY ON HATRED, BIGOTRY & IGNORANCE, SINCE THEY NEED NO FACTS TO SUPPORT THEIR MONEY MAKING MACHINE. GEEZ GUYS, YOU KNOW WERE ARE THE NEW COMMUNISTS, THE NEW JEWS OF THE NAZI RIGHT,,,,HATING GAYS IS THEIR CHRISTIAN RIGHT,THEIR GOD GIVEN PREROGATIVE,
There’s a lot of bubbles all right. If you look closely you’ll see them coming out of her ears.
But please GOP, quit trying to do anything about the economy (not that you were in the first place) and make bursting the Rainbow Bubble Priority A1 Plus.
I figured the minute they got in they were going after social issues because they have NO plan to fix the economy.
I’ve seen all this crap before, with one exception. War on fertility? Actually, I’m PCOS, and the state of New Mexico has been paying for my clomid, provera, GYN appts, ultrasound for diagnotics, blood and urine tests, and the costs of preg and birth (my insurance even covers midwives and doulas), via state funded health care. I wouldn’t be able to afford it without socialized care, it would all set us too far back to be able to have a kid at all, we need that money for raising the baby.
So war on fertility??? Hell is she even talking about? Right now, the government is making my fertility even possible at all. In fact, I owe it all to a socialized service, and I’m sure she wouldn’t be chill with that, so the only war on fertility I can see is her waging it against lower income (and by that I mean all lower and a lot of middle class, because who can afford this stuff right now?) and young couples who haven’t got it all together quite yet! Woman, YOU are the kind of person who wants to stand between me and my fertility, so STFU. It’s hard enough not being able to get pregnant when I’m not having someone with what five kids trying to represent me, by taking away my only real chance at having a baby.
What’s your problem, Michelle? Has it not occurred to you that the world is already so overpopulated that we can’t feed them all? Why is it so important to demand that all marriages be heterosexual and pumping out more babies? What don’t you understand about this? I’m a fellow Minnesotan, now living in Cambodia, but you do not represent me AT ALL!

As equality and acceptance of gays continues to grow, maybe Bachmann’s underlying fear is that her seemingly closeted homosexual husband could muster the courage to come out. So, in that context I guess it’s fair to say that same-sex marriage undermines marriage between one “man” and one woman.
You ALL are completely nuts. I love Bachman but am not sure she’s the best pick for president. Our country is falling apart as in our true values and family morals. Man and woman,,,,husband and wife,,,,is a marriage and anything otherwise would be perverted. I enjoy people but I will not socialize with homosexuals. IT’S WRONG!! Its perversion and is not normal and not healthy and certainly not the plan by our Creator. I could care less what you guys think but I am worried and sad for any children involved in a home like that. What confusion it will bring. I despise O-bite-me even more now since his purpose has been discovered to destroy America and her origin of success. And once again, I don’t care what you all think, this is MY OPINION and it’s the RIGHT opinion!!
@Kkj, here’s what’s funny. You associate with homosexuals — you just don’t know it. We’re EVERYWHERE.
BOO!
And you can “worry” about our kids all you want. Our kids will, you know, go on to be high achievers, and yours will get held back at the community college at age 30 in basic math classes.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. American soldiers have fought and died for your right to be as ignorant as you possibly can in the space of one sad life.
