Comments about ‘Michele Bachmann: God warns with disasters’

Michelle Bachmann is an intellectual and political disaster.

How comforting when a politician "speaks for God" or interprets what "He wants".......and I guess they know this because they won an election.

So does this count as an endorsement? "This message sponsored by Hurricane Irene" Glen Beck also tried to claim the hurricane as a supporting voice of his movement.

'The earthquake and hurricane that recently afflicted the Eastern Seaboard are just God's way of getting tone-deaf politicians to pay attention...' - Article

So, Bachman is now trying to politicize natural disasters.

Nice.

Not that I was going to vote for this woman anyway, but when you try to gain political points due to the suffering of your fellow Americans...

well, I don't have the words for how low this is.

Please, Michelle, keep on talking. You'll run yourself right of contention for President with your own words.

How lovely that Buchmann is using this tragedy to claim it was gods will that people lost their homes and/or their loved ones becuase her poltic are better then those in Washington and people need to listen to her instead.

Before I read the story and had only read the headline, I was really hoping that she would have something intellectual to say, such as, These disasters show that we need to have a strong economy with people back to work so they don't have so much of an economic impact. I really was hoping that would be the case, and not what I feared she would be saying. Unfortunately, my fears were realized.

If a statement like this doesn't send people running to some of the other candidates, then we are really in trouble as a country!

By the way, Ms. Bachmann, if it was a warning to politicians, can you please tell us how the politicians were affected, how many of them were killed from this event? Or were the people that were killed sacrificed?

Apparently we must either listen Buccman or be smited, to bad she does not think to much of herself.

Michelle Bachmann is a bit of a natural disaster herself.

"government is on a morbid obesity diet"

Although the rest of her quotes as noted in this article are simply (to use Pagan's phrase)"trying to politicize," the one I note above is accurate and insightful. Comparing our present federal government to the 600 pound man who continues to eat 4500 calories daily seems very apropos.

Real moral and spritual people are offended by you Michell Bachmann!Please use some critical thinking before you speak. Can you? Are you able to?

There is no doubt that these disasters are a message from God to the nation to repent and straighten up our act. We are in a state of degeneration and have been for years. However, you don't use this in a campaign speech. It's like casting your pearls before swine. You ponder these things in your heart and keep your mouth shut. Those who are in tune will know what the message is. Those who are not will not get it. Don't shoot your mouth off. It wasn't a wise thing to say on the stump.

Michelle Bachmann is absolutely correct. Hurricane Irene was a message from God that the U.S. needs to reign in our spending and address our national debt. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Also, it was announced today Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has set Dec. 4 as the date for elections to the State Duma, the powerful lower house of parliament. God has shown his approval for this decision by giving Moscow a very pleasant forecast for the rest of the week.

So it appears Michelle's spiritual awareness includes only her home country. She ignores the terrible calamities befalling other nations - not subscribing to her exclusionary spiritual views. Sad.

Let me get this straight: Back when there were no people on the earth, and when the earth was going through drastic changes with multiple and more severe events, just who was God warning then? I guess maybe that was practice time!

She is appealing to the evangelicals, Mormons that also believe in God's hand in these natural disasters and is using scaremongering tactics that Glenn Beck uses every day on his show.

God has nothing to do with these natural disasters. This is a work of nature and the planet has been rocking to and fro for billions of years and will continue to do so no matter what humans do.

Bachmann will take herself out of the top tier of Republican candidates with these comments on God and natural disasters if she hasn't already.

I agree that we have got to rein in federal spending which was a big problem under Democrats and Republicans which President Obama greatly exacerbated. We also need to drill baby drill everywhere in our own country to become less dependent on foreign sources for our energy needs. But Bachmann is now toast and just reconfirming for me that I want no part of her leading this country.

Whereas it may be tempting to attribute any and all natural phenomena to the Divine Creator, it may be prudent of Rep. Michelle Bachmann to refrain from such pronouncements unless God instructed her to do so. To invoke the name of God for the purpose of serving one's own ends, in this case a political campaign, is definitely a poor choice devoid of all grace- if not downright sinful. The proper approach for a political hopeful would be to support the values of one's beliefs but avoid making any references of events that take place as signs of Divine intervention on one's behalf less one be labelled a false prophet.

Yes, I totally agree! God does warn with disasters, and he brought us Michelle.

Good grief she really is Palin the second. Every time she opens her mouth she makes herself, and by association the Republican party, look a little bit more like a bunch of escaped asylum inmates.

The GOP would be wise to stick her in some back closet before she does more irreparable damage.

Not that she was ever a legitimate candidate. Now she's burned the rest of her bridges. This Tea Party fad is fading quick and becoming increasingly morbid.
