AMES, Iowa (AP) -- The Bible tells wives to be submissive to their husbands. If she were president, would that apply to Michele Bachmann?
In Thursday's Republican debate in Iowa, the Minnesota congresswoman was asked if she would be submissive to her husband.

I agree. Sad, though, that we must look at the spouse of the president. We don't elect the spouse.
“..But at least they dumped that idiot Bushbot Fred Barnes, another of their nebbishes.”
Hadn’t heard that although I haven’t seen him on there lately. I really believe the guy may be suffering from the early stages of Alzheimers. He always stumbles and fumbles around with his words. Sad, if true. But all of the Weekly Standard clowns are cut from the same NWO/CFR cloth (Kristol and the guy with the beard). There is NO true conservative on that daily panel.
You should try FBN.”
Wholeheartedly agree. Cavuto is at the top of my list of wonderful. FBN is the only FOX channel I ever watch.
I loved the answer but would have loved it more if she would have asked: are you subserviet to your wife or do you still beat her?
I am glad there were no gotcha questions for the panal.
Newt pretty much came down on the gotcha questions with Chris Wallace. Chris is definately showing his liberal leanings. I’m glad Newt ripped into him.
There is a poll on http://nation.foxnews.com/ where you can vote on who you think did the best on the debate tonight.
I would suggest some of you go over there and vote. I did, and when I got the results, it was showing Ron Paul winning with 59.36% of the vote. There is no way..........
Ditto.
“The panel was an embarrassment. I never understand why Fox News has a reputation as a conservative outlet. It’s not. I consider it anti-conservative and pro-Left.”
Certainly they are drifting that way. I notice that since Fox made that decision, the claims about rapid growth of their audience has sort of tapered off.
Good answer.
I think Wallace is an egotistic ass and he showed it tonight. Unfortunately he underestimated Newt’s ability to think on his feet and he got bitch slapped on national TV big time. It was almost as if Newt was waiting for that one too, swung and sent it over the fence.
After being humiliated, Wallace uttered some attempt at caustic comment and looked even smaller.
I know Newt will not get the nomination alas he is one person who could go heads up with the jerk in the whitehouse and clean his clock. He would not do it in a William Buckley eloquent manner rather Mr. (.) would be body slammed and drubbed without any phoney airs.
The husband is told to lover her.
Nothing in the 'original language' changes anything.
The MSM wants to use them to destroy the candidates, not find out the best one.
Yes, the submission would be in the context of the marriage, not the Presidency.
What a bull$hit question. Like she’s going to enact legislation to that effect. If people cannot see through the raw propoganda parading itself as journalism then they are blind.
As the world teeters on the precipice of complete economic collapse I couldn’t possibly live another minute without knowing each candidate’s thoughts on scriptural admonitions for spousal relationships!
Palin is the only one with any sense.
Do not fight on the enemie’s battlefield. Stun Tzu.
When the enemy is destroying himself stay away from him. Napoleam.
Both knew how to fight to win. The Ministry of Truth owns mass media. Stay away from them.
Palin! 2012.
Non-Christians will never understand what is meant by “marital submission” in a Christian marriage.
I don’t think she (Michelle Bachmann) needed too. She could tell by the audience’s reaction that they knew it was an awful question. She handled it perfectly and professionally. She earned my respect by staying dignified.
If women (or man) can’t handle it, they shouldn’t be running for president.
What is your theological answer to the “submission” question?
