She is foster parent to 23 kids! 23 KIDS! I know propaganda outlet like Huffingclue Post and USMB liberal douches like Shaman, Rdean, Shallow and Ravi will say she does it for the money (State dollars per kids), but that doesn't add up. She and her husband have a successful business, she was and is a successful tax attorney and is a state senator (good tax free pay). Raising just one child is tough, raising 23 (plus 5 of her own) would be a huge task, no amount of money could a person who really didn't want to do it do it!
I have other candidates I like better than her, but she has undeniable high morals and is a Saint!

That is certainly much of Bachmann's appeal. She was born in Iowa and then moved to Minnesota. When her parents divorced, her mother was left to fend for herself. Bachmann has known what it means to scrimp and save to get by. But she made a success of herself. She and her husband now run a small business in mental health and she is the mother of five children. She has also given foster care to a staggering 23 kids. Political legend has it that her career began when she spoke out at a local Republican party meeting after her state senator had shifted his politics in a liberal direction. When asked by others in the crowd if she herself should try to unseat the incumbent, she gave a speech that so excited those assembled that she was plunged into the race, which she went on to win. It was the unlikely start of a career that has now come to national prominence.
