If God told Michelle Bachmann to run for president, and God told Rick Perry

to run for president and God told Hermann Cain to run for president, maybe...just maybe God wanted to give them a lesson in humility...that "God's chosen" aren't what they think they are.

Maybe it was the Devil or maybe it was just the voice in their head.

If God did want them to run, he obviously didn't want them to win. He must be laughing his holy head off.

But if these people believe God told them to run for President, I'd love to know what they think about God obviously selecting Obama to be president.

You might as well ask "Why a burning bush?" or "Why a whale?"

When God told Michelle to run he FORGOT that he had ALREADY told Rick to run. God wouldn't play practical jokes on his followers. He just has a bad memory. It's easy to understand how it could happen. After all, if you have to keep track of all those billions of teenage boys masturbating, who's having homerotic thoughts, who's taking his name in vain and all that other shit, how can you expect him to remember a detail like who he's told to run for president. Sheesh, give God a break already. He's only human.
