Sound bytes well delivered determine popularity in many cases, but it seems that Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman and her emotional statistics have come to an end in
the Republican presidential nomination process.
Too many untrue statements are catching up with her. Not that her ardent supporters probably care, for we humans attach loyalty for a variety of reasons.
Bachman’s claim to fame includes working hard and achieving her American dream, with significant help from the government as some have asserted.
Another pillar of her popularity is her brand of Christian fundamentalism. In a recent debate trying to slow down the 9-9-9 tax soundbite of the ascending Cain, Bachman referred to an upside down version of the number as 6-6-6, a reference Biblical Fundamentalists know and are looking for all to well.
Cain is the current candidate eclipsing the previous temporary savior of the Republican party in it’s quest to unseat an unqualified and failing President Obama. Cain is also likely to slip also as he and his past and his signature numbers get more scrutiny.
Obama however, is likely to be reelected because his Democratic Party is truly a big tent party skilled at dancing together while skewering the other party not those they vehemently disagree with in their own party.
Republican diversity is coming more and more to the light, and since it is a newer phenomenon, it has not developed the nuances necessary to hold together in the 2012 election with enthusiams and money it takes to make a president in modern America.
As a Mormon, many Christians will not get behind Romney.
Independents are likely to see the Bachman Branch trying to defeat the Establishment Clause and govern as a nation getting it’s policy ideas primarily from the Bible as the Islamists do from the Koran.
Religion is a free choice in this country and any politician who does more than refer to god in a generic sense has crossed the line to no good results other than balkanization
Individuals should indeed practice in their personal lives what they believe. They should not force their articles of faith onto all Americans.

Any President or any elected official speaking of the evils of 9-9-9 as The Number of The Beast is indeed a hypocrite when taking the nations oath as a public servant.
That is an article of faith in our Constitution which is the law of our land. The Bible may be an occasional spiritual law of an individual, but it can not come before the Constitution in any elected position of trust and extensive fiduciary.
Besides, Bachman may even be wrong on this point as well. Respected scholars and Biblical sources say the mark is not 666, but rather 616.
That could raise Cain on tax policy among fiscal Christian conservatives if it became better known.
