Damn! God endorsed another republican?

[bigtree]

Sun, 13 Nov 2011

Republican Herman Cain said God convinced him to enter the race for president, comparing himself to Moses: "'You've got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?'"

In a speech Saturday to a national meeting of young Republicans, Cain said the Lord persuaded him after much prayer.

"That's when I prayed and prayed and prayed. I'm a man of faith - I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I've ever done before in my life," Cain said. "And when I finally realised that it was God saying that this is what I needed to do, I was like Moses. 'You've got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?'"

Cain isn't the first to say God prodded him toward a campaign. Texas Governor Rick Perry's wife, Anita, has said she felt God was speaking to her about the race, adding that her husband needed to see a "burning bush”, a Biblical reference to God's first appearance to Moses.

1. ...!

2. Considering how many Republicans are now confessing to hearing voices

I think it's high time we restarted the state mental health infrastructure complete with involuntary 30 day commitments for the obviously bonkers.

Either that or there is a god and it really wants Obama to win.

3. Dang, looks like God is two-timing those Republican candidates!

Or... it could be that just because God tells them to run doesn't mean he intends for them to win.

Maybe God has decided that certain Republicans are in need of a big heapin' slice of humble pie!

4. God also told Michele Bachman to go into politics.

I think God is totally messin' with them, prankster that he is.

I don't trust his judgement in politicians.

[zbdent]

10. "'You've got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?'" ...

wait a minute ... either Cain is questioning God's judgement, or Cain's lying ...

no intellectual disconnect there, "liberally-biased media" ... :sarcasm:

[gejohnston]

11. Maybe God did tell them all

to run but forgot to mention that it was for the entertainment value. God has a good sense of humor.
