Bachmann has 'calling' to run
Source: POLITICO

"Every decision that I make, I pray about, as does my husband," said the Minnesota congresswoman, according to radio broadcaster O. Kay Henderson. "And I can tell, yes, I've had that calling and that tugging on my heart that this is the right thing to do."

The Iowa-born Bachmann is expected to appeal to evangelical Christians, who have a heavy presence in the Republican primary process. Bachmann told Iowa voters on Thursday that she will announce her candidacy in her childhood hometown of Waterloo.

"I am not an establishment candidate. I've set my own course. I'm a very independent person," Bachmann added. "I've taken on my own Republican leadership when I was in the Minnesota senate and I've taken on my own Republican leadership in the Congress of the United States. I am an equal-opportunity fighter because I am about the people."

She added, "I fight for what I believe in. I'm committed and I have a record of being a fighter. That, I think, makes me unique, I think, above all of the candidates."

7. I HOPE That's "RUN AWAY"
Someone is talking in her head. Maybe she should run to the nearest mental facility. When she talks she's so disconnected from reality she reminds me of my schizo brother (yes, he's really schizo - I'm not just being a smart ass).

While it would be nice to fantasize about her taking votes from another Republican whack-job in the general election she'll never make it that far. Independents will kick her psycho ass in the primaries.

I look forward to hearing why God didn't take her all the way. Just like I look forward to people stopping saying "God thank you for saving me" rather than "why the F*uck did send all that destruction in the first place?"

20. Palin said God told her to run for VP.
She lost. Christine O'Donnell (the witch) said God told her to run for the Senate. She lost. Now God has told Bachmann to run for president. She will clearly lose.

Either God is off his game lately, or republicans should start listening more closely to the voices they hear in their heads. Someone is getting it wrong here.

9. Because America needs a theocracy!
If we were to really go back to the founders days, that bitch would be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchin! If she really wants a Christian nation we will have to stone her for working on the Sabbath.

Ya can't pick and choose verse just when it suits you.

Beside, Bachmann is an idiot who is afraid of a 16 yo girl's debate challenge!

BUCK, BUCK, COWARD!!! :crazy:

28. Well, a calling wouldn't be the same as a vision.
I think a calling is a feeling that one attributes to a higher purpose (God, destiny, etc.), unlike a vision that you see or hear. However, if she literally got *called* by God on the phone, then that's different. That's just a prank.

21. Wonder if the influential independent voters will tolerate her after several months.
I guess her calling is really beneficial to us! :-)

22. Please, please run. I wish Trump and Palin were really running.
This trifecta of insanity at the debates would make the GOP look like fools.

30. "About the people?". Well she certainly is not "for the people". I now know why
she doesn't care about MN. She isn't even from here! She doesn't have a clue about MN.
