After Coburn Asked Americans To Pray ‘Somebody’ Misses Health Care Vote, Inhofe Skips Today’s Roll Call

Just before the Senate vote on the first of three procedural motions to move its health care reform bill toward final passage, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) appeared to urge Americans to pray that a member of the majority caucus would not show up to vote, thus leaving the Democrats one vote shy of breaking the GOP filibuster:

COBURN: "What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray."


..................

On C-Span this morning, a caller wondered if perhaps Coburn’s prayer request had “backfired” against his own party:

CALLER: Yeah doctor. Our small tea bag group here in Whitecross (sp), we got our vigil together and took Dr. Coburn’s instructions and prayed real hard that Sen. Byrd would either die or couldn’t show up at the vote the other night.

How hard did you pray because I see one of our members was missing this morning. Did it backfire on us? One of our members died? How hard did you pray senator? Did you pray hard enough?

8. Didn't pray for Gods Will be done as instructed.

Problem is no one knows Gods Will. Even if there is a God, I doubt if She cares.

9. Maybe they forgot to specify which 'god' they were praying to?

Unless they were specifically praying to that Old Testament Smiter Yahweh, and asked for him by name maybe the next god in line got their prayers instead.



It was Loki.

"Sure thing, I'll smite someone for you, asshat!"
