And on the Seventh Day He invented the Rimshot

Thank goodness the GOP is rife with candidates claiming a direct line to the Almighty.
Herman Cain, whose campaign could use some redemption in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, told a crowd of young Republicans on Saturday that God convinced him to run for president
I believe the conversation involved God asking, "You want a job, don't you?" But this seems somewhat familiar...
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says that she prayed to God about whether or not to run for political office and that those prayers provided her with a "sense from God" of "assurance about the direction" she was taking.
Oh and this guy,
Perry told a group of businessmen and women, "At 27 years old, I knew that I had been called to the ministry. I've just always been really stunned by how big a pulpit I was gonna have. I still am. I truly believe with all my heart that God has put me in this place at this time to do his will."
Obviously, Perry would tell you he's endorsed by the Father, Son and uh...um...ah.... Or as God would tell you, "Oops".

It's the Cirle of Life. They were born to be ROMney poo.

And in fact, both David H. and Charles G. God did tell them to run. Just as the tender okapi is told to run. The God brothers have a sense of humor.

Why is it that Gawd only speaks to Rethuglicans? Is he still pissed at Democrats for that election in 2000? That "war" on his birthday...? Whut?

Since we're now up to four Repugs that have claimed God told them to run for President, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that he/she/it is just fucking with them....

actually Montag, the most likely conclusion is that they need treatment for their disorders.... sadly we don't take mental health seriously in this country.

Actually She is bored. Hasn't been out on a date in years. Her whispering in their third ears is just Her way of getting back at these bums who always call for a date but never show up.
