Nine reasons Michele Bachmann�s campaign fizzled
number five
5. Sexism among some conservatives
Rival presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s Iowa coalitions director, Jamie Johnson, sent out an email saying that children’s lives would be harmed if the nation had a female president. He wrote it in June, but it surfaced on the campaign trail in the fall.

“The question then comes, ‘Is it God’s highest desire, that is, his biblically expressed will, … to have a woman rule the institutions of the family, the church, and the state?’ ” Johnson’s email said.

Johnson said the email was meant to be a private message to a friend, that he sent it from his personal email account, not his campaign account, and that he hadn’t intended it to be read by anyone else.

Did Iowa’s Christian conservatives hamper Bachmann’s campaign? Such accusations are counterbalanced by Iowans’ willingness to give her the straw poll crown, the first woman in history to claim that throne.

But in the final weeks of the campaign, as Bachmann’s poll numbers hovered in single digits, her national aides and evangelical organization team privately complained that sexism coursed through Iowa’s religious conservative community, even as the aides publicly rebuffed questions on the topic.

“We did believe that sexism — I use the stronger word misogyny — was at play,” said Peter Waldron, Bachmann’s faith outreach coordinator.

Three influential pastors called for her to bow out of the race, and numerous others said “that a female could not be a civil magistrate,” said Waldron, who lives in Florida and has worked six presidential campaigns dating to Ronald Reagan’s in 1980.

Maybe she should start working against her own party.
or at least against the unequality women still face from the fundamental christian right.!! just so she has a chance of being president of course
she will still be anti abortion. One thing at a time!
I see a campaign coming out
HAH

Wow. The GOP field is really fracturing this year. Reagan's 11th commandment is basically being peed on.

Is it wrong of me to find watching all this infighting and squabbling funny?

Bachman's complaints about her party remind me of the story of the alligator farmer complaining because he got bitten.

WTF did she expect? A buncha goddam politically correct metrosexuals and ERA pushin' bra burners?

Maybe she thought she'd joined the Democrats?

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), one of the most quoted men of the 18th century.

I told him I had been that morning at a meeting of the people called Quakers, where I had heard a woman preach. Johnson: "Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."

Notwithstanding the crew, here is the face of total equality.

Men refused to prioritise women, expectant mothers and children as they pushed themselves forward to escape. ... As she waited for a flight home from Rome, grandmother Sandra Rogers, 62, told the Daily Mail: ‘There was no “women and children first” policy. There were big men, crew members, pushing their way past us to get into the lifeboats. It was disgusting.’

That is what it looks like.

But it is what Bachmann said she agreed with. That a woman was subservient to her man. In her party, I would assume she would believe the same thing. She is reaping what she sowed.

Actually, yes, you are. These people are not joking, and we need to take them dead serious - especially the ones who have a shot at power, or who exercise real political influence. This ain't a soap opera.

You seriously think Michelle Bachmann has a shot at power or any political influence at all?

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

She's on the House Intelligence Committee.

Hows that for irony?
