Bachmann on Iraq: "God has not abandoned us.“
Read it at the West Shrerburne Tribune:

Sen. Michele Bachmann

"About 40% of you are here for the first time," she said. "New life is what we want and new life is what we need."

She thanked the delegates at the meeting for their service to the Republican party and the Veterans for their service to the country. She also asked for financial support. The Democrat's spending bill has left the door open for Republicans, Bachmann said.

"The first thing we have to do is to stop government spending and cut taxes," Bachmann said. "That is how you get a strong economy."

Bachmann pointed out the race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination gave an advantage to Republican candidate John McCain.

"He is not my man," she said. "Our candidate was chosen by the media. But there are other races out there."

Among the compelling issues facing the country is the war in Iraq, Bachmann said, and the National Security Act which was allowed to expire four weeks ago. The act gives the Dept. of Homeland Security authority to listen in on phone calls.

"Eighty percent of all cell phone calls are routed through the United States and we can intercept them and get this information to help keep our troops safe," Bachmann said. "Not in Democrat land!"

Bachmann recalled having Christmas Eve dinner with General Patraeus, who told her Baghdad was 80% secure and that the head of the insurgency there threw in the towel, saying he wanted to live in a stable society.

"What our service men and women have accomplished over there has been nothing short of astounding," she said "Though you never hear about it in the media. God has not abandoned us."

"The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It's all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax," Bachmann said. "The tax cap and trade system for limiting emissions is just another tax on businesses. By 2012, incandescent light bulbs will be no more. Fluorescent bulbs are more polluting because of their mercury content. We are working on the light bulb bill. If the Democrats can hose up a light bulb don't trust them with the country."

2. God didn't abandon us.. we abandoned the works of Jesus
Maybe someone should tell Bachman that she works for the God of Destruction and Greed

Bachman belongs to the Church of the Military Complex
and the Religion of "Save a Fetus, Kill a child"
