In the Good Old Boy days a politician was often judged by his wife.

I kid you not.
Does the wife wear a properly demure cloth coat? Is her strand of pearls the right millimeter size, and Length?
Nothing ostentatious-- mind your bling.

Eleven years into the new millennium we have had many shake ups in the old guard, (things are actually just getting started in that regard *speaking of the US only.)

Anyone familiar with the Sibley USA chart knows we are in for some major change.

Now is the time to get to the point.

Michele Bachmann's husband

That is right boys and girls, if you think Michele is BSC- check out the quote from her lovely hubby.

Via ThinkProgress, today's wingnut is none other than the spouse of "batsh*t crazy" presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann. Marcus Bachmann, who runs a Christian-infused counseling center that's been rumored to offer treatment to those seeking to "ungay" themselves, shared his views on homosexuality just last summer. And they are extreme views.

Marcus Bachmann: Gays are ‘Barbarians’ Who ‘Need To Be Educated’ And ‘Disciplined’
Michele Bachmann's husband runs a Christian-based counseling center in Minnesota that's been rumored to offer treatment for those seeking a "cure" for their gayness. Here he is, last summer, sharing his views on homosexuality:

"We have to understand: barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps

Bachmann had no need of another Achilles Heel.

then there is the matter of all the government money received by said husband...and by association, by Herself.

Left biased, right biased, the take away for me is something I am going to call Tea Drinkers Rule of Law.

Government is bad until you need it. Maybe that is why 20 of the last 30 years, government grows exponentially under those who adamantly state " We hate big government?"

Those factions are quite adept at using government resources, yet in the recent past they chastised unemployment recipients for the same thing.

Hard battles. Against not only extensions, but unemployment insurance altogether~!

Let us not forget the recent attempts to add deregulation-- and curtail benefits--- with amendments to just about every bill coming out of the House at the moment.

...and a big number for the supposed 'protectors' of the Constitution? Last year Republicans offered over 43 amendments to the Constitution they profess to love, and use as a weapon time and again
