Michele Bachmanns Husband Shares Her Strong Conservative Values
By Jason Horowitz, Tuesday, July 5,
Lake Elmo, Minn. In an interview last year with a Christian- radio talk show, Marcus Bachmann, a therapist who runs a faith-infused counseling center here, compared homosexuals to barbarians who need to be educated, need to be disciplined.
Dr. Bachmanns strong anti-gay views would hardly be noteworthy outside of the suburban towns marked with water towers in the St. Croix Valley, except that his wife, Rep. Michele Bachmann, is suddenly the hottest commodity in the Republican presidential field. She has staffed up with professional consultants, but her husband of 32 years plays a central role. Dr. Bachmann, who recently called himself his wifes strategist, has acted as her media planner, traveling assistant and even personal shopper.
They share a bond born of a mutual religious awakening in high school and college, a deep faith in an especially conservative form of Lutheranism, and a common abhorrence of homosexuality.
Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has made a name for herself among conservative activists, but her ability to deliver for her district remains to be seen.
Their career in politics has always been about pursuing a social conservative agenda, Larry Jacobs, a political scientist and longtime Bachmann watcher at the University of Minnesota, said of the couple. He said that Michele Bachmanns initial race for the state Senate, in which she ousted a more moderate Republican, was broadly over gay rights.
My husband and I, Bachmann told The Washington Post in March, are a really good team.

I didn’t put any html in there, but it did that. should’ve previewed.
Wow. He is a real troglodyte.
and that’s what we’re talking about.
do we want this in October 2012?
It’ll be bad. You have heard the audio, yes?
do more research on Marcus find the youtube and read the comments.
Does Mr. Bachmann form friendships with communist domestic terrorists?
Was he mentored by a communist pedophile?
There are many organizations that help people leave the “gay” life. No pharmaceutical drugs needed. There are faith based and secular organizations and treatment methods.

The media are going to gnaw on this like a dog on a bone. Hopefully the Bachmans have strong stomachs, courage and a good sense of humor. They're going to need it.
Yes, he should have said that “gays” are Nature’s Noblemen.

you saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8oyA5JV7kA
we all really do need to know what comes between Michele Bachmann and the Presidency.
That article did not mention the real problem. see youtube
It is a medical problem.
Americans would support a medical solution.
Americans like and trust science.
They do not believe in faith based cures, and Marcus Bachmann is as close to the worst possible spokesman for faithbased cures.
It’s a real problem, and it should be solved, like other mental illnesses, with medicine. Powerful doses of Lithium might keep em from buggering each other. Problem solved!
But you can’t patent Lithium. Get on this big pharma.
The Religious Right has done a terrible job of arresting the spread of gay. It’s time for a new strategy, based on an understanding of the causes of mental illness.
Perhaps gays are possessed by demons. Exorcisms!
Perhaps gay is caused by a toad or small dwarf living in the gay persons stomach. Let’s do surgery!
But modern science understands that it might have something to do with hormones, and if science just plows in there, and starts figuring out how hormones work, big pharma could cure these problems.
When the gay agenda storms public education systems (see California), there’s your barbarians storming the gates. When gay judges refuse to recuse themselves when deciding on homo related cases, there’s your lack of discipline.
Homosexuals are not excepted any where they are forced by law to be allowed,it’s only part of the deconstruction of a country.See liberals.
Your comments are waaaay out there.
I’m not going to watch the video because I only watch videos when absolutely necessary. Pharmaceutical medicines are not high on my list for anything, especially psychological or behavioral problems. People already are treating homosexuals with some success, those who want to change. No doping up necessary.
Here’s what’s going to be going on with that, unless Michele just drops off.
Until recently, gay was considered a mental illness by the professionals. Transsexuals are still. These are doctors, who have some understanding of science and medicine, who understand that mental illness (which gay and transsexual most certainly are) is best treated with medicine.
But the War on Gay is led by people who gays consider gay, who are trying really hard not to do sodomy.
Our side talks about resisting urges, and gays laugh and say that if you have those urges, that means your gay. And gays have won that argument.
We should say that Gay is a serious problem, and we should use medicine to just get rid of it.
We don’t want to have any discussion of War on Gay, with Marcus Bachmann on our side, and people who understand science on the other. We want science on our side. Country club Republicans, and most normal people across the board, are on the side of science, and gay-seeming gay curers will make 60-70% of the American people laugh. Because gayseeming gaycurers are not particularly rare. Comical, yes, rare, no.
O
Are you high? As in "loaded" or "stoned"?
You really need to pay attention to this Marcus issue. Ignoring it will not make it go away. When the media wants to attack, they most certainly will, and it will not be pretty.
Please, just do the research.
If you don’t want to watch the youtube, just read the comments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8oyA5JV7kA This youtube has 69K hits, and no one is defending Marcus Bachmann.
Read the comments.
Here are some other things you get when you go to youtube and type in Marcus Bachmann.
The number 1 result on a marcus bachmann search is
“We Salute Marcus Bachmann, Gay Husband of michele bachmann”
I like that Michele Bachmann is pretty, somewhat Palin like, and can often say tea party conservative things without saying something stupid. But we should all know that this is out there, it’s fatal, and we should be slowly walking away from Michele right now.
Okay, so you think Bachman’s husband is a homosexual because he supposedly has “gay” voice and a bunch of idiots or leftists make comments on Youtube. Any actual evdience, other than “people are are fighting the “gay” agenda are usually closeted homosexuals”?
No, I’m not saying that I think anything. I’m saying that
everyone on that youtube thread is saying that Bachmann’s husband is a homo.
And I’m saying that whenever the media feels like it, most Americans will believe that Bachmann’s husband is a closet homo.
And the msm and the American people will find this the funniest thing in the history of the world.
Here’s some background. I was a big supporter of Christine O’Donnell. I still am. I was posting pro Christine stuff here 5 months before the primary. But I did my research. I knew that if Christine won, the media would be making fun of her. But I still didn’t care, and I still don’t. Because Christine was better than the awful Mike Castle, who was supported by Rove, I thought it would work out great.
And it did. Yes, Christine lost. But the msm did not talk much about Rand Paul, or Republicans running for the House, but they talked only about Christine. And Republicans won a ton of seats in the house. A historic landslide. The msm did not say “this is why Republicans are bad”. They said “this is why Christine is a joke.” And all that did was keep some people from voting for Christine. It didn’t keep people from voting for Republicans running for the House.
The msm was scared of Christine, and used too much of their limited ammo on her.
Similar thing here with Michele, but different outcome. The msm would attack Michele as hard as they attacked Christine.
It’s at least as funny to them as Christine was. And it’ll be devastating everywhere to all Republicans.
I like Michele. Until she ran for President, we didn’t know about Marcus, didn’t need to know about Marcus, didn’t care at all about Marcus. But she’s running for President, and spouses matter. So we need to know these things.
