Michele Bachmann - Seriously?

So the United States 2012 elections are coming up around the corner. One name I keep hearing come up over and over is Michele Bachmann. Conservatives seem to think she's pretty cool, liberals seem to hate her. Whats the deal?

Facts:
Michele is a member of the United States House of Representatives, and has been since 2007.
Michele supports the Tea Party.
Michele has a law degree.
Michele is married to Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist.
Both Michele and Marcus got their undergraduate and graduate degrees at Christian Universities (I can see where this is going...).
Michele has accused Obama Barack of being "anti-American."
Michele uses the word "Obamacare" a lot, and hates Obamacare.
Michele is a long time supporter of Israel, and isn't against nuclear strikes in Iran.
Michele is Pro-Life, Anti-Gay Marriage.
Michele has claimed Global Warming is a hoax, stating, "Carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas. Carbon dioxide is natural; it is not harmful.... We're being told we have to reduce this natural substance to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occurring in the earth." (neo-Christian Scientist bullshit).

Michele Bachmann also says a lot of really dumb things. She spreads misinformation every time she opens her mouth. She's almost worse than Palin. I hate to see Bachmann get to the point where she is a for real nominee, but at the same time seeing her in a debate would be worth it, just for entertainment value.

"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, on the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak that happened when Gerald Ford, a Republican, was president.

Michelle Bachmann is basically like a real life troll, who talks out of her ass (as many evangelical Christians seem to do). Also, she got started in her political career as an abortion protester (1991).
