Amen. It would appear that the Rev. Battle "outed " her in a manner of
speaking. I think it's unfortunate that the Rev. Battle chose to include
her -- and others -- in the opinion piece that he authored and that
supported Bachmann and her legislation _unless_ it was done with her
consent (or at least acquiesence).
Once he did, however, she has chosen to remain quiet and has neither
associated herself nor distanced herself from the Rev. Battle's stated
position. Perhaps she believes it's a personal matter or perhaps she's
ambivalent about it. That isn't indicative of a political leader, IMO.
If she runs for higher office and would have a more significant affect on
things, that would trouble me.
I've met and heard the Rev. Battle several times over the past few years.
I hold him in high regard in many ways. But I sharply disagree with him on
this matter.
