Michele Bachmann has been using the quote for a couple of years. Hard to believe you didn't like what you saw last night. Why isn't she your gal?

Specifically I have issues with her mixing religion and politics. Two separate issues in my opinion that should be kept separate. Although her handlers have done a fair job so far, she's certainly made enough controversial statements before and in the beginning of her current presidential campaign to give me serious pause as to her suitability to serve as our next President.
Although it may shock the likes of Yssup and some others here, I am no fan of religious extremism of any kind. To me there's little difference between some American blowing up an abortion clinic or some Jihadist blowing up a school in Pakistan/Afghanistan. It's religious extremism and simply wrong in my opinion.
Having said that, I do believe it's time for a change to our political system. I'm certainly on the record for having said that for a while now. So if you think that aligns me with Bachman, the Tea Party or Snow White and the seven Dwarfs, that's o.k. by me. I'm not one of those that needs to belong to a certain group to validate my beliefs, values or what I stand for.
