Bachmann: Yes, I experience migraines, but so do 30 million other Americans

Ah, I stand corrected.

The valid question will be to Bachmann is if she accepts this belief. I also know that she just quit that church so she is trying to distance herself from it just as Obama distanced himself from the wacko-Wright.

I think if you look it is not too hard to find unacceptable views in almost any church or synagogue in its dogma.

Funny how this always seems to happen to any Republican candidate on the rise, isn’t it?

Also, as I suggested previously, I would like to know the extent of it.

Is this something they wrote down hundreds of years ago and never really thought about after - or was this something that was part and parcel of their teachings (Bob Jones University style) in the modern era - and while Bachmann was attending?

I know passions ran high ‘back in the day’ - and it was not enough to say that the Catholic church was corrupt, misguided, didn't have a monopoly on salvation, etc (all too true IMHO); nope - they had to go the extra mile and say that the Catholic Church was the conclave of Satan and the Pope the ‘Vicar of Satan’ the AntiChrist himself, etc, etc.

Bless their hearts for ‘going the extra mile’ back in the day - but no reasonable modern person could hold that the Pope is the Antichrist and be expected (or at all likely to) represent those 24% of Americans that are Catholic.

As far as the media and their treatment of the issues, ignoring the beam in 0bama’s eye while focusing on the mote in Bachmann’s - if it wasn't for double standards - those bastards wouldn't have any standards at all!

‘Also, as I suggested previously, I would like to know the extent of it.’

All I can say is that I believe that at this point, it is irrelevant. I understand your concern, but right now the country is a burning building and we are helping (IMHO) the opposition throw gasoline on the fire.

I believe that they literally begging Chris Christee to run.

A primary process is where the GOP is allowed to vet candidates and consider their relative strengths and weaknesses - such that we put forth the best possible candidate to beat 0bama in 2012.

Someone who believes that 24% of Americans belong to the Church of the Anti-Christ makes one obviously NOT the best possible candidate to beat 0bama in 2012.

Thus I want to know if Bachmann accepts that the Pope is the Antichrist, an Antichrist, a minion of Satan; or just a well meaning theological scholar in a dress who millions look to as a spiritual leader?
