Sara Benincasa In 'Michele Bachmann Saves America' (VIDEO)

You might remember Sara Benincasa from her award-winning Sarah Palin Vlogs series during the 2008 election. Fortunately for everyone, the 2012 election is already gearing up to be a 24/7 carnival sideshow of political oddities, and that's just the potential GOP candidates. So Benincasa is back with a new series of Web videos, this time assuming the role of everyone's favorite "fool for christ," Michele Bachmann.

In her first episode of 'Michele Bachmann Saves America,' Bachmann gives us her unique insight into what Jesus wants for us. Spoiler: He wants us to not be gay, and he wants us to have the baby. We've already ordered our WWJD:NBGHTB bracelets!

WARNING: While this video is technically safe for work, it gets a little dark. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Makes me want to hold a candle behind her head to see if the eyes light up.
It really is what the woman is saying, exept without the doublespeak.
For all the money we spend killing Muslim Talban, we have empowered our own
mega rich, politially cunning breed.
They have come a long way from the circus tents of old.

it sure would be interesting if she won...

I mean, in 2008, when it was between Clinton and Obama, ya'll were saying how amazing for Clinton to win, she'd be the first woman president, and one big step for equality.

But i wonder how you guys would react if a woman who you don't agree with wins...

Will it still be a major step in equality? Probably not, because you only like the women you agree with.

If there were a GOP woman who belonged in the White House, we would support her. If the woman plans to turn the nation into her vision of a theocracy, take away rights, decimate the middle and working class, and start wars, we will never support her, nor a man with the same beliefs. That means the White House will be in Democratic control for a while. These women are dominionists. Look it up, and you won;t be supporting them either.
By the way, after the Palin debacle, I doubt there will be a woman on the GOP ticket again for 50 years. The GOP hates women....look what the GOP governors are doing in their states to teachers (mostly women) and to Rowe v Wade rights.

You're right, I don't like Bachman very much. I believe there are a lot better choices. And you say take away rights? How so. We don't want socialized healthcare...

And Obama is not going to win again...

Interesting if she won? How is it "interesting"?
The GOP has put the country into a depression. Let's not pretend they didn't deregulate the financial sector for instance and look what happened there.
Now they are giving us some female candidates to choose from, but they didn't get the best representation and it has to do with knowledge of our history and factual information.
It's not that we don't agree with a candidate from the right wing or tea party, it's that there isn't any knowledgeable facts to agree with.

Getting this straight isn't difficult. It's like telling the truth. You do or you don't.

we're not the ones who failed to pass a budget when we controlled both houses of congress, AND the white house.

And Obama's budget deficits are way worth than Bush's

I know that this is a parody but it reminds me of a quote I heard many years ago that is pertinent to Michelle B. and her ilk:

"If you ever meet a person who knows exactly what God want's them to do in this life...run away as fast as you can!"

VERY good satire, Sara Benincasa. She has captured Bachmann's so-called "Christian" values. I also loved the one on Palin too. Check out that link.

Great impression, but the video overall wasn't that funny to me. The ending was good though.

I'm continually amazed that Bachman and other "Christians" as they have come to represent themselves in recent decades, can possibly believe that the God or Jesus they so firmly believe in, could be so PETTY as to concern His/Herself with their silly prejudices.
