Ms. Bachmann also wishes to replace the Un-American GOP mascot.

Fast . Fast and clean the toxins out of your brain . Fast to find your compassion too .

jesus specifically said all for the rich none for the poor
and if the poor dont like it because of my bags of money
than they can get out of my country people like unclecharlie prefers if your health insurance doesnt get cheap and starts going up why do i get the feeling that if health care reform doesnt pass he going to become a democrat again

NO, NO, NO!!!! You've got it all wrong.

She was saying, "We must PREY, and fast!

'...did the chameleon or the comdien win the other seat?'

Not the chameleon, the other guy. more correctly, the writer, humorist, actor and progressive Senator.

This is a new one from politicians! PRAY AND FAST for change in government!?!

Really? If all it took was that, why do we even vote for these people?

I'm going to get down on my knees and pray tonight that she's not reelected for another term. Telling people to pray for change is helping her do what she's currently doing in office... nothing.

Get off your knees and make a difference! (I really enjoyed typing that!) Call your Representative's office and ask for the change you want.

didn't jesus want to help the poor and sick? aren't these guys being hypocrites? oh wait... their republicans... duh, they dont really care about god or jesus or anything but money and world domination... that's right, i forgot who we wer discussing.

We love prayer and fasting when it comes to Ramadan!

Bachman's son joined Americore and his application was filed at the same time she was sayhing that americore was a training camp similar to those in the old Soviet. She gave him permission.

So she is really reallly a giant hypocrit and liar. What is it with the moral quality of these people? They believe the ends justify the means and any lie will do. I believe that they are capable of anything. What about the one who recently applauded some nut who called himself an American terrorist? Did that Senator think that Tim McVietgh's actions were OK?
What the F is going on? Are they trying to start another civil war?

I know it is impossible to separate church from state. Its like separating the peanut butter from the jelly after you put the sandwich together. However, this Bachman seems a bit blatent in her christ-i-ness. I am going to write scathing letters to my senators. I know Amy is one of my senators. I have a question though, did the chameleon or the comdien win the other seat?

icarus from mn

like Jim Morrison once said, "I think it's a bunch of bullshit myself"

What really bothers me about this crazy person is that she is from my home in Minnesota and there seems to be no end to her rhetoric and insanity. It's people like her that really turn people off the any belief in faith.

Also how did this person get to any level in politics, that scares me !

Hate how people use religion as a mask for things like this. Horrible how this lady is spreading lies and not helping the situation what so ever.

One word... Psycho!!!

With Ted Kennedy's passing, it is appropriate we give this debacle of a "health care" legislation a proper burial as well.

It is time to move on from the liberal legacy of indebtedness and out-of -control spending.

0bama did call for a new era of responsibility and what better way to act on this call than to inform Americas they are responsible for the,selves first and foremost.

Let us bury the welfare state with Ted.

Amen

I wish there actually *were* a god like the one in the fairy tails hurling lightening bolts from on high talking to saints and prophets through a shrub.

I don't doubt he'd promptly disavow himself of this mentally ill crusader of the Sarah Palin School of Stupid.

What the F*ck. Really? the utter bullshit some people let themselves believe. I hope this women needs health care at some point in her life and can't afford for it or is completely screwed over, then she can get down on her knees and instead of praying she'll be bagging for reform

I talk to God every single day. And let me tell you, SHE is pissed at the Republicans. OOOOOOO boy, they are gonna get a whoopin'.

That that's all they have up their sleeve? Prayer and fasting?

"What are we going to do? These crazy idiots are trying to defeat health care reform"

"No, it's okay!"

"Why?

"The only person with any authority that they have on their side is God. And we're not sure that he's fully in their corner."

"Oh, thank goodness for that. What are they doing to lobby his vote?"

"They've all stopped eating. They're now too weak to scream at us in our town hall meetings."

Another female Republican representative recently talked about hunger building character. Maybe Michele Bachmann is only trying to find character? She will need to be hungry for a long time.

Prayer and fasting... so, this is turning into an idiots hunger strike then?

I'm all for faith but didn't we have a separation of church and state?

i truthfully think that this women is misinterpretation faith and religion. its very ridiculous to do such things its like I'm listening to Fox news trying to compare the Nazis and Obama, of course if i were to call her an extremist then ill have tons of you lil whiny punks screaming and calling me a non patriot or a liberal. im just being realistic if you wanna have those people who say they trying blow themselves up to keep things how they were in their twisted mind-frame being labeled extremist, then this is technically the otherside of the extremist view just non-violent and very annoying view. besides no one likes a d-bag who uses religion as a way to sway peoples minds to what they feel is their ideals.

There are no words to decribe how disguested I am right now. How dare they use God as some kind of tool to increase fear (and hate in a lot of cases)!?

If i'm in the state while her election is up I will be joining the campaign to get her out of office. she gives minnesota just a mad rap.

this is what happens when we let the inmates run the asylum for so long. obama has his head on right. lets turn this place around. separation of church and state please!! god has no business in law making!

In-fuckin-sane!

She looks like a freak in the picture.

The Romans tortured Jesus to death for being a terrorist.
Damn liberal Jesus.

I shake my head and think.."is this bitch for real"....I'm so confused.........

Where the hell is the section that they are stating is the death panel?

Why hasn't anyone just post that?

Oh no no...mock mock mock because that solves...solves...solves EVERYTHING.

The world is now safe with the Obamaites mocking just like Obama.

Thank you. Thank you for saving us from the big bad Republicans.

I am a Christian myself and I am embarrassed that there are people like this representing Christ. The reason I am so passionately for healthcare reform is BECAUSE of my Christian and general moral and humane beliefs.
Please, to those of you out there who aren't believers in Christianity, don't take these kind of people as representatives of the faith. Thanks.

This bitch is tripping. Guy Ciambalo, are you there? I think you might have missed one for your list in PLAYBOY!

Maybe we'll get luck and the idiot will fast herself into a coma. Although I'm not exactly sure I we can tell if she does???

Oh Egads...this is terrifying it is just sad that there are people out there that are willing to believe anything that comes out of these peoples mouths just because they are representatives and senators...it just isn't true...

and I quote my favorite bumper sticker
"Dear lord...protect me from your followers!"

these extremists are truly insane!

That's just hilarious.

Scary.

But hilarious.

Great, get them all to pray for it so that in reality they will be doing nothing.

Rep. Michele Bachmann is Michele Bachmann; so her making an actual common sense world be top story on CNN. I think the story should be on her surprising amount of people who still vote for her in Minnesota. Her response is to pray about a reform, even though she's ina position to do something about the bill.

This person shouldn't be allowed to represent the animals in animal shelters....Michelle Bachmann is extremely ill, and the people that elect her need immediate help! ..Yes, we will get the health care bill passed, so prepare for it..Maybe some of the mentally challenged people on this site, and through out the Country can get some much needed help!

praise jeebus, waca waca waca!

good thing these people don't know shit about reality... just waiting for the next plague... it will take out all these retarded republican morons. granted someof us normal people who aren't trying to ruin and rule the world will die too, but at least we'll out-live these anti-progress anti-intelectuals.

The prayer thing always reminds me of high school football games. Before the game each team is huddled on each end of the field saying a prayer, asking God to let them win. I bet God just hates it when they do that.

Good luck with that...

Where would political comedy be without congress woman bachman? i mean seriously, this bitch gives me the giggles like no other. i really try to ignore these kinds of people, but then i realise that others take her seriously i understand how dangerous these kids of people are.

Michele, For you to be really effective in stopping healthcare reform you need to stop eating now and continue until there is a vote. To be most effective get your two pals Marilyn, and Virginia to fast with you. ;-D

That was very deep and poetic ddelazan.

Religion...what a collection of nut cases.

I would like to be a "fly on the wall" as they say when Ms. Bachmann makes this prayer to deny people health care.

Example: Dear Jesus, one who taught us to give to others all we have, please use your supernatural powers to prevent people receiving good health.

Fascinating!

"Don't Palinize Me, Bro!"

Jesus loves me.Now pass the Ammo!

If health reform doesn't pass she will say God wanted it to fail. If it passes she won't say God wanted it to pass. I think she should go on a permanent fast.

republicans are getting crazier ever day that obama is in office.

I just have one question for my republican friends here at current, Who is running the publicity department for the GOP. The old adage that any publicity is good publicity clearly doesn't work here unless your targeted audience are NUTS.

yeah that call the beatnik bible because right now i hear god and jesus saying get that bitch

God Said:

I don't dwell upon you, I dwell on something else.
And I am not really here, so get over yourself.

There's no anger in me, you must mean someone else.
Cause it's not me that you see, you're looking at yourself.
And I won't give you a prize instead of some one else.
Cause I don't play favorites, so get over yourself

You are not serving me, you're serving something else.
Cause I don't need to be pleased, just get over yourself.
You can't suck up to me, I know you all too well.
But I don't dwell upon you, so get over yourself.

Cause you're not praying to me, you're praying to yourself.
And you're not worshipping me, you're worshipping yourself.

And you will kill in my name and heaven knows what else.
When you can't prove I exist, so get over yourself.

im really praying and fasting that all the republicans after they get rid of health care reform bring the friends
family bloggers anyone who is a conservative have one little get together and a meteor strikes them one less corprate facsist

Am I a bad person that I want to mock all these people, especially Michele Bachmann, to the point that they break into tears? What about the fact that if I am able to do this and I succeed at doing so, I will have the same reaction that I did when I beat my first video game?

Interesting.. People normally pray to SAVE lives, not take them away. I wonder if her prayers will get answered.

so if it passes she'll take it as what god wants? and then support it?

OH BTW, this women is nuts.
