AL County Commissioner Who Said She Had the Endorsement of Jesus Loses Election

Sandra Little Brown, who said in a campaign ad that she had the endorsement of Jesus Christ, has lost her runoff election.

God may be dead, but irony sure isn’t. (And to quote one commenter, the last thing we need is “another foreigner interfering in an American election.”)

Brown was hoping to get re-elected to the Jefferson County Commission in Alabama. Last month, in the Democratic primary, both she and her opponent Sheila Tyson received 46% of the vote. In an effort to tip the scales, Brown distributed flyers featuring a fake ballot with her name larger than Tyson’s and a message that said she was “supported by Jesus Christ and his followers.”

stating he needs some executive time. He'll be back in time for the War on Christmas blather...in the meantime...pray all the time everyday.
PS..Have you ever seen one of these right wingers actually drop and pray? They say they pray all the time. I get the feeling they think..."If I have thoughts of my own, and intersperse them w Jesus images...I'm praying." they pray when they need something...if ever.

That county. First, he died a couple thousand years ago, and couldn't have been a US citizen, anyhow.
