What goes through the head of somebody entering a voting booth and voting for Michelle Bachmann?
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 06:01 PM by BolivarianHero
They go in there silently laughing to themselves about all the pinkos and queers and heathens they hate so much...

As for the ones who split Bachmann-Obama, I don't think the ideas that go through their head are coherent enough to be analysed.

FIXED: Was thinking about my Pittsburgh Penguins and mixed up the two Michelles :P

7. She has an (R) by her name, for some that's all it takes
Not everyone is up to speed on the people they vote for. If her district is a majority of Republicans, all she has to do is remain one, or have a challenger in her primary who is a bit less insane.

16. It depends on whether they use Reynold's wrap
or generic foil for their hats. Reynold's wrap deflects more voices.

24. They are anti-abortion. It's pretty much that simple.
This area has a very heavy Roman Catholic presence and unless someone gets through to these ding dongs that there are more important things in the world than saving a sperm in an ova (i.e., not having an insane person for a representative) she will continue to get re-elected unless we run a strong Democrat who is also anti-abortion. My understanding is that we have a couple running in this upcoming primary.

My brother is also a Catholic and anti-abortion and although we don't live in her district, people literally across the highway do. He has talked to the people he goes to church with until he is blue in the face to try to get across that abortion is not the only issue to vote on and that voting for her and Bush was insane, but they simply will not listen. Of course, because he's also a bigot he is "afraid of Obama". He acts like a dork over that, but he does have some sense. I'm sure he voted for him.

There are rabid anti-abortionists in our area and many bumper stickers about it. You cannot go anywhere without seeing them. "You can't be a Catholic and pro-abortion" is their favorite.
