Give me strength...another Republican chosen by God.
The new RNC Chair. Another God man, there by the will of God. I wonder...was this determined via vision or assumption?

He said he believes the RNC is "part of" the Tea Party movement; believes in the Christian God and stated that if he were elected as RNC chair it would be through God's blessing;

1. God's on a bit of a losing streak right now
He seems to be betting on nothing but total douchebags, lately.

2. Surely there are no Rethugs that are/have NOT been blessed and chosen by God?
If there still are any that haven't, he or she must then be a RINO or perhaps even much worse, a...gasp!!...blue/yellow dog Democrat.

Never ceases to amaze me how little conservatives actually follow the teaching of their God/Christ.

Heal the sick?

Not unless they still have insurance coverage or money!

Most put money, power, authority, war, killing, and political/material privilege above the Lord their God, so exactly how does it follow that they believe that they will go to to their heavenly reward after they pass away?

I posed this question once to a Jehovah's Witness, who was a co-worker of mine quite some time ago, and who often gave me pamphlets of theirs to read. Why did he not give up all of his money and material possessions, move to a truly poor country, and then devote the rest of his life in service to his Jehovah, and help the most poverty-stricken on the planet, like Mother Theresa did?

He never gave me an answer and looked very lost in thought...heh!!

10. Implying they are God's chosen has been invoked by
Bachmann, Angle, Beck and of course Palin.

Cheney is notably absent from the God/politician connection.

Leads me to believe they think God is an ultra fundie conservative with a penchant for tea bagging.

3. God's son was a socialist
Jesus had more policy parallels with Bernie Sanders than the phony haters in the Republican party.

4. God has a very dark sense of humor
Especially when she's irritated.

8. The Republican party is officially done.
This loon will embrace the Tea Party even more than the previous guy did and he will be more successful because he is white.

9. How many times have I heard "Tea Party " does not equal "Republican"
from Republicans and other RW'ers.

I guess this puts that false statement to rest.

11. Of course God is on their side
God is on the side of greed, corruption, selfishness and decadence. :sarcasm:
