We’re voting for Michele
A Minnesota Senate committee yesterday voted to put a stop to Michele Bachmann’s attempt to put a gay marriage ban amendment on the ballot this fall.
Before we get all weepy about it, let’s remember what this actually means. A key Republican strategy is to fire up their base of right wing zealots to vote in elections they don’t otherwise have much stake in. (After all, if you believe in Adam and Eve, you probably don’t have much of a head for nuanced politics.) So the GOP tries to get the Fire and Brimstone Set to vote by making it all a referendum on whether we ought to rename Minnesota Sodom and Gomorrah.
And, who do those primates vote for? People like Michele Bachmann.
For Michele Bachmann, for God’s sake–instead of for someone like Patty Wetterling, who has actually done more to keep families safe than Michele could possibly imagine?
