And BTW..she didn't *claim* Swiss citizenship,she came to be automatically recognized as a Swiss citizen through actions of another,an actions over which she had no control.

"Claims" is where Politico shows its true (Rat) stripes.

Sorry, but that's incorrect.

FTA: “Congresswoman Bachmann’s husband is of Swiss descent, so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978. However, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family,” said Bachmann spokesperson Becky Rogness.

She had the option to either apply for citizenship or not, and she chose to do it. There's nothing automatic about it.

"And BTW..she didn't *claim* Swiss citizenship,she came to be automatically recognized as a Swiss citizen through actions of another,an actions over which she had no control."

FALSE!

From the article:

"Congresswoman Bachmann's husband is of Swiss descent so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978," spokeswoman Becky Rogness said in a statement. "However, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family."

This is Bachmann's own spokeswoman who says that Michele's husband's nationality only made her "eligible" since 1978; and that she by her own volition, voluntary exercised that "eligibility" to become a Swiss citizen. Without her voluntary exercise of that mere eligibility she would NOT have been a Swiss citizen.

This is a major disappointment to me. To hide behind claims of MSM bias reporting is to hide from reality.

DUAL CITIZENSHIP = DIVIDED LOYALTY

Those who claim otherwise should do some soul-searching.

(How would FReepers view dual citizenship for Obama or other Leftist?)
