Michele Bachmann on Social Issues

In a Real Clear Politics article, Michele Bachmann is quoted as saying, "Some Republican candidates seem confused by what it means to be 100 percent pro-life. Bachmann's campaign thus far has not made a point of reinforcing her stance on social issues, in fact it has been skirting around them for most of the time, as she made some very staunch declarations of her positions before beginning her campaign for the presidency. Her politics have focused much more on the hot topic of fixing the economy and antagonizing President Obama because of the currently lame economy. 

While she has had to dodge questions from various liberal biased interviewers and media sources, she has successfully deflected most of them, however, she seems to be returning to her far right social stances as the race progresses. Her points of view are not in danger of alienating her supporters because a majority of them believe what she believes, but should she continue, I still maintain, that she will have to change her game in a big way. 


Bachmann is returning to accusing others of not  holding the same, God-filled moral  values as she does, and it will be interesting to see how much of them the American public can take. As the race continues, we may see a move on Bachmann's part even further towards those issues which she deems to be strongholds for those voters who support her, but we may also see an increasingly negative depiction of Bachmann in the media, a trend that may not produce positive results for Bachmann.
