Wouldn't it have been delicious if during Bachmann's recent discussion with the high school girl who was part of her school's Gay-Straight Alliance if after Michele proclaimed that gays had the same right to marry as heterosexuals as long as they married someone of the opposite sex, the girl replied, "Oh, kind of like you and your husband, huh?"

2. Well Bachmann was speaking from experience.
How else could someone even think of something that idiotic!

I swear, Bachmann by herself noticeably brings down the average level of intelligence in this country.

4. She's an idiot, yet we must recall that the President shares her
opposition to marriage equality, and he states the same reasons, their mutual evangelical Christianity. God is in the mix!
Sorry to all of you, those who tell me they think God wants them to announce their superiority to others are pretty much the same animal. He glosses it up with charm and a storm of words chosen to sound less hateful and stupid while containing the exact same core of intolerance.
Still, fun to pretend it is 'them' and not 'us' who oppose those rights, eh? Makes the straights feel less smarmy.
The President opposes marriage equality. I guess here, folks think he does it so sweetly that it is all ok. It is not ok.

5. Come to rain on our party
But what you said should not be forgotten. Your last sentences are spot on. Replace "gay" with any other kind of bigotry and suddenly it would not be so easy to overlook
