They have plenty of research that suggests monogamous families live happier lives, some of which is cited in the document Bachman signed.
The political bias of this so called pledge is quite evident.
It happily tells us "Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA‟s first African-American President." yet conveniently overlooks that also mentioned in the very note it cites (3) that "Between 1940 and 1990, the percentage of
Black children living with both parents dropped from 75.8 percent to 33.2 percent" What happened between 1940-90 just wouldn't be as much fun as trying to blame Obama, eh?
WHAT a load of biased political tripe! No wonder Bachmann's involved
I'd call it unsubstantiated drivel, a baseless, lame attempt at ascribing words and ideas to the founders that exist only in biased imaginations.
Fair enough. We obviously have a difference of opinion, but I can respect your stance, as well as appreciate that you took time to read the statement. Many here have not read it. It does not say she will ban pornography, it acknowledges that pornography undermines family values, and in some cases can pose a threat to children. I just wish more people would take the time to inform themselves before spouting off.

PS, I'm not even a Bachman supporter!
I have an extremely difficult time taking a 'pledge' seriously when it starts with what is at best is an attempt at diversion from fact.

And the bias I pointed our in this case is a lame attempt at blaming the current POTUS for a trend its own source says has existed at least since 1940.
Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
I guess you just want to continue in ignorance of her stance on the issue. I've provided the information of what she ACTUALLY SIGNED, not just some news link or the opinions of others on the forum. This is the document she actually signed. It's a fact. If you can't take the time to educate yourself on the facts, I can't and won't take the time to discuss it any further with you.
"in ignorance"?
No, this religious, lying, demented gargoyle of a human is my Representative here in Minnesota.
I know ALL about Bachmann and what she says and will not take the word of some like minded screwy and obviously ignorant website against the repeated reporting of the FACTS by every NORMAL media outlet I know.
