RNC Chairman Steele mirrors Bachmann: God chose me

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has the job he does because “placed” him there. His statement mirrors those of fellow Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, who has asserted several times that she went into politics because God asked her to.

On Pat Robertson’s CBN news, Steele said: "A lot of people think that this is about me. It is not about me. I’m not defined by this job. When this job is over I will go back to doing something else but God, I really believe has placed me here for a reason because who else and why else would you do this unless there’s something inside of you that says right now you need to be here to do this(isn't that what serial killers say, just sayin', lol) and there’s going to be a lot of ugly that comes after you but if you stay true and you stay faithful to what brought you into this party and why you believe so much that what this administration is doing is wrong for America then I’m good. You can say whatever you want about me. You can write whatever you want about me. I sleep very well at night Washington. I really do because I know who has my back: the people of America and that is what we fight for everyday."

Steele’s comments are reminiscent of statement made by Rep. Michele Bachmann. Last year, she told WorldNutDaily that she would run for president if God told her to:

“If I felt that’s what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it,” she answered. “When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I’ve said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That’s really my standard.

“If I am called to serve in that realm I would serve,” she concluded, “but if I am not called, I wouldn’t do it.”

1. Hell, when I apply for a job, I have to submit a coverletter, CV, references, & supporting materials

...and they all have to be in by the closing date. Then I wait for an interview...and wait...and wait...

How do I get one of these "God wanted me to have this job"-type jobs?

[Happyhippychick]

2. And I personally thank God every day for putting you there Mikey.

[tmyers09]

3. Fuck they're such assholes.

This is the arrogance we're up against. If God created the entire enormous universe, what makes you think that he gives two shits about this particular country on this relatively tiny planet? What makes YOU so damn special to cause him or her to directly influence it?

[hatrack]

4. If so, confirmation that God IS a Democrat . ..

:rofl:

[Divine Discontent]

12. Bwahahahaha! Love it!

Can I get a witness! As a Christian, when I hear these loony Repubs spew their "God told me" baloney, I realize that it only damages their party. Keep on saying God told ya repubs!

[wryter2000]

21. A Democrat with a sense of humor

You can't make this stuff up. :rofl:

[Dr.Phool]

5. Actually, God wanted them to elect Kenneth Blackwell.

They disobeyed, and he's punishing them with you.

The Lard works in mysterious ways.

6. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

[hughee99]

7. If Steele is right, maybe god is a Democrat...

Maybe the lord has called on him to bring about the destruction of the repuke party through incompetence and idiocy, or perhaps it's just his job to keep the repukes from getting anywhere while get our own ship straightened out (the progressive vs. DLC issues).

8. God loves a clown, apparently

How is is possible that the GOP could hire such a buffoon to be their spokesperson? Oh, that's right, buffoons appeal to their base. Bush, Palin, Beck, Hannity, All of Fox News viewers...

[wryter2000]

20. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[fascisthunter]

9. Yeah, Well, Lot's of Power Hungry Crazy People Have Already Stated Similar

crap...

[pissedoff01]

10. Keep talking, Michael

[Dappleganger]

11. Does he get his talking points from Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin?

HE MUST BE THE ANOINTED ONE!

[johnnyplankton]

13. Apparently, God loves a clown...

14. Here we go again...

These people really need to get help for that problem with hearing voices.

[11 Bravo]

15. Further proof that God is a Democrat.

[butterfly77]

16. When Steele says this I just have to laugh..

. I really do because I know who has my back: the people of America and that is what we fight for everyday."


I really would like to know what American people have his back. We all know why you were put there and that is,the republicons didn't know what to do because they base all of their decisions on skin color so they chose you because you were black just like our President...

[mstinamotorcity]

17. Yeah God wanted him as head of

the Repug party.But it seems as though the Repug party doesn't.they say you have only one more year. They want to know where's the money.

[Contrary1]

18. Well, that makes two of us then...

I can think of no bigger clown to represent the RNC.

[librechik]

19. God spoke to me, too, and she said African Americans who identify as Republicans

not using the brains she gave them. And BTW, Michel Steele has her number blocked, so that's not really
God he's talking to.

[wryter2000]

22. God keeps annoying him...

...with messages about helping the poor and all that crap. He's a busy guy. He can't spend his time listening to socialistical bs like that.

[madrchsod]

23. my god thinks he`s a dumb ass......

[tekisui]

24. I knr all Steele quotes.

:rofl:

[TheCowsCameHome]

25. If he's the head, I'd hate to see the ass of the party.

[LiberalFighter]

26. If God had placed him in the position then why was he elected by the delegates?

Or why did it take 6 series of ballots before he won?

At the least shouldn't his election had been a slam dunk if God was on his side?

And it took 6 ballots even though the alternative had even more serious problems.

27. God was throwing Stewart and Colbert a bone. n/t
