Bachmann needs to clarify this before it becomes a big issue. She needs to come out and give specifics. Maybe she should not use the word “raise’ when referring to children that were in her care for short periods of time. She should say “cared for” or “provided assistance” or something like that. Be honest. Even if some of these kids were only there for short periods of time she should and will still receive praise. The voters don’t like dishonest politicians (the phony Vietnam vets come to mind here) and this could hurt her.

This is insane. We're parsing words again? There's nothing dishonest about her statement. The dishonesty is in those trying to make this some kind of issue.

Dishonesty would be if she did not foster 23 kids. You are SICK to compare her to "phony Vietnam vets."
