The video of congressional candidate Michele Bachman's appearance at Living Word Christian Center was created by the "Dump Bachman Blog" and carried on the YouTube website.
The title of the video, "Bachmann Says She is 'A Fool For Christ'," was provided by the Dump Bachman Blog.
The phrase, "A Fool for Christ," is drawn from Bachmann's description in the video of how her faith in Jesus guided her decision to run for Congress.
She says she and her husband took three days to fast and pray over the decision. In the middle of the second day, she says, god made the call.
"It's been now 22 months that I've been running for United States Congress," she says. "Who in their right mind would spend two years to run for a job that lasts for two years. You'd have to be absolutely a fool to do that. You are now looking at a fool for Christ."
She talks politics too. She says that her race is one of the top three in the nation because it probably will decide who controls Congress and how that will affect policies: defeating radical Islam and the future of the family and of religious expression.
