It worries me that voters would even consider a candidate like Michelle Bachmann for high office.
It's not that she is a Tea Party promoter; there are probably other in the movement that, while misinformed about how the Federal government works, at least are trying to do a good job as they see it.
But how can anyone support a modern woman who agrees with the Biblical command for her to be submissive to her husband in all things. And then, her husband's clinic practices reparative therapy, where gay people are attempted to be cured of their homosexuality, as if it were a disease or lifestyle choice.
We have seen the corrosive effect of a non-elected individual in the person of Grover Norquist, who has gotten many conservatives to sign a no-tax pledge, and then promises to use that fact against them if they vote in a way he doesn't think they should. The whole idea of pledges of any kind in Congress makes it difficult to govern, when compromises are so often necessary.
In the case of Michelle Bachmann, she would have her non-elected husband whispering in her ear, and well as her understanding of biblical imperatives. How can that be a good thing in our complex, multi-religious society? We are not a Christian nation. Never were.
