On Wednesday night, Rep. Michele Bachmann participated in the Family Research Council’s “prayercast” against the health reform bill being debated in Congress. Bachmann and religious right leader Lou Engle led the group in prayer as participants chanted and churchgoers watched around the country.
People for the American Way have posted videos from the prayercast, including this one of Bachmann and Engle:

Looks like she’s going down on that microphone.

praying to keep 1 of 6 uninsured, many of the rest soon to join as prices continue to rise out of reach?

Dear Lord, I know that 40,000 Minnesota Families have lost their jobs since 2008, please help me keep them uninsured.

It seems so odd to pray against a bill. Especially with all the things to pray for. Prayer is very personal, but I would be interested in how she would explain what a lot of what she said meant.

Can we assume the Star Tribune, Minnesota’s newspaper of record, will have a story on this event? Or any other coverage relating to the dominionist theocracy movement in Minnesota?
Not that there is anything important about having our Governor, our former Secretary of State, our Lieutenant Governor, our 6th District Congressional Representative, our former Commissioner of Public Health, our wealthiest law school, and at least half of the Republican Party in this state all totally devoted to this cause.
No story here. Move along.
(For solid history and analysis of this movement, Max Blumenthal’s book, “Republican Gomorrah,” is worth consideration.)

Wow! That was scary! I think there are at least two America’s; the wacko one (right and left) and the trying-to-be-down-the-middle one. We just saw the wacko (right) one. Religions are cults. We see the extremest Muslim stuff and shudder — I also shudder when I see this bizarre display in American politics. Giving up one’s self/being to a God, provides an excuse to do anything, including terrorism.

Oh, My God. Literally! She just may be crazy enough to spew out jibberish that will save my soul! She looks like she is going up in the long run. Crazy eyes may have a point though, once I realized that Robert Creamer and Andy Stern are really behind it all. Nut cases.

I was very surprised to see this on WCCO ten PM tonight. Thank God for that! Hopefully, more Minnesotans in the 6th district will see just what a whacko nut she really is.

Comments like that of “T-Bag Jones”, and the fact that the left took the term “Tea Party” with them straight into the sewer of sexual perversion is not lost on millions of Christians.
Your crass, debauched ignorance is what keeps Michele Bachmann in office, and will share a lot of the responsibility for the bruising defeats in store for the Democrat party next year.
Thanks for all you do!

“Above Average” is 1000% right.
Ignorance is what keeps Michele Bachmann in office!
