Do YOU want more Michele Bachmanns in Congress?

Didn't think so.

First, that's not what the poll actually asked. And if it did - which again, it didn't - there is a differences between not wanting more women in congress than not actively seeking to putting more women in congress. The first implies that you are biased, the second implies you are indifferent. Isn't what we want to be is gender blind in selecting our leaders?

As for the GOP and women in office:

The GOP needs to recruit and elect women, or the party will continue to slide further in the direction of the America-haters who are shouting so loudly right now.

You are grossly mis-informed.

What party controls the House?

What party controls most state legislatures?

Since when did the party make that decision? Candidates run and voters vote.
One of the Boston Mayoral candidates ran on a point of a more diverse police force- IE: less white cops. Isn't it funny how nobody is screaming about that.
