Michele Bachmann and evangelicals: Can a woman really be accepted as a leader? - By Libby Copeland - Slate Magazine

In a speech at a mega-church in the Minneapolis area back in 2006, Michele Bachmann explained her decision to pursue tax law. It wasn't her choice, exactly. God had already told her to go to law school; God had also told her to marry a fellow named Marcus Bachmann. Now Marcus told her "to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law." This was not a particular desire of Michele's ("Tax law? I hate taxes!"), but she was certain God was speaking through her husband.

"Why should I go and do something like that?" she recalled thinking. "But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands.'"

For non-evangelical Christians, this sounds ludicrous: How can a woman who believes in submitting to her husband's will aspire to be president of the United States? Is she going to have to ask Marcus' permission every time she wants to throw a state dinner?

God told me not to vote for this whacked out bimbo. I have no choice, no free will, God commands and I obey. Right this moment God is telling me to have a cigar.

Thank you, Mr. HG. :)

Not all evangelicals believe as she does.
 
Digs, in this instance? What she-who-is-running believes is all that matters.
 
There is so much else wrong with Bachmann, do you really need to make fun of her religion?
 
It's not making fun of. It's a very real belief of hers which would perforce make the First Gentleman who the President answers to.
