Oh boy - this guy is sure full o' himself and isn't afraid to alienate his base to say what is on his mind.

Keep it up - you and Meghan McCain are doing more than the Democrats could EVER hope for to the GOP.

You CANNOT write this sh*t - this is truly how out of it these itsy-bitsy players are and how much they think of themselves!!

3. Sometimes God says, "NO!"
Just like he did 11/4/08. All those fundies praying and praying that God would give them what they wanted only to be told "NO!" Must hurt a lot when God slaps you upside the head like that.

11. Silly liberal. Don't you know that god never says "no" to a fundie?
Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 07:27 PM by Moonwalk
If a fundie doesn't get what they pray for, especially if what they get instead is something they think is evil and awful, as with 11/4/08, then it's the work of the devil, not god. god would never do anything like that to the faithful. :sarcasm:

As for why god would allow the devil to do such a mean thing to his dedicated followers? Usually the answer to that is that it's a test (god is apparently very like those grade school teachers who like to give pop quizzes) to see who realizes that this is the work of the devil and fights against it. Those who do not realize that this is the devil's doing and fight on the side of god against it will, of course, not only go to hell but be very, very sorry for what they did when the truth is revealed.

Which means sooner or later Obama's going to turn up with devil horns and a pitchfork. Cool! :evilgrin:

19. I think I get it.
Being an agnostic, it's hard to keep track of all the players (God, devil, angels, demons, etc.) in this grand cosmic theater. The script gets a bit convoluted at times. :-)

When god talks back, it's called "schizophrenia"

But that's better than what an MD calls it, "Dead."

6. Sorry, God, the wife said that I can't run.
Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 07:08 PM by TheEuclideanOne
So funny, he starts by saying that he is waiting on a sign from God. Then asked if the situation did present itself, I assume meaning that God gave the go ahead, he would still have to check with the wife. I sure hope that a) God has a sense of humor and says "Go!" b) that the wife let's him.

It would be great to watch the video on YouTube where he says "God......should I run? Please send me a sign!!!!", followed immediately by him getting hit by a bolt of lightning a turning into a Pile of ash inside of a cheap suit.

should accept the cabinet position offered by the Obama Administration and may we all be touched by His noodily appendages and may He favourably mark us all with His spaghetti sauce stigmata.

24. Funny, this sounds like a lighter version of Sarah Palin's shpiel...
about how she was going to rely on God to show her an open door if He meant for her to run for president.

Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 09:27 PM by tomm2thumbs

Wouldn't it be funny if Sarah Palin and Michael Steele BOTH run through that door at the same time and run right smack-dab into each other, knocking themselves out. Oh I'd pay good money to see that. And I hate to start a conspiracy theory based entirely on your comment, but has anyone actually seen Michael Steele and Sarah Palin in the same room at the same time - I mean, can someone actually confirm they are two different people?

Makes me wonder

30. yes Sarah, s/he/it meant you to run...
not win, though.

Just run, so you could help move along what s/he/it wants (or would that actually boil down to what WE want -- leaders who want the good of us all).

and boyoboy, did you ever help! Thanks Sarah...

Mikester, go for it. hahahahha

33. Certainly, in Palin's case...
claiming that God wanted her to run for president would help shut up anyone inclined to criticize her for failing to finish out her term as governor. Who are we, after all, to question God's will?


At any rate, I hope she runs, too.

God, sorry, is not going to tell anyone to run for president. I seriously don't think He works that way... You may find yourself saying, if you're a believer, if the doors open for me, and since I'm in politics, I might consider it, but wow, to say He will tell you is really egotistical.... and scary.

right up until I asked him if Steele should run for president. Let me tell you, even a slightly irritated God is something to behold.

Let's just say, God said No...:scared:
