At least that’s what good ole’ Pat has claimed. Ah well, false “spakeths” happen from time to time. I had a false “spaketh” last week that John Edwards would win Iowa. But Pat Robertson is in a league of his own.
Robertson is a modern day scam artist following in the footsteps of those who used to sell snake oil off the backs of wagons. The town folk gathered round and the salesman would tell them that his magic elixir would cure anything from rheumatism to blindness. And oh, how the willfully blind quickly coughed up their money only to discover that they were still blind the next day and the guy selling snake oil had left town.
But Robertson never leaves town. And the incredible imbeciles, who really believe that God talks to him, go on believing him no matter how wrong he turns out to be. Oh yeah, those idiots make up a large portion of the Republican base. And this is why the Republican Party is teetering on the edge extinction.
But, like cornered animals, they’re still very dangerous. They will go on stealing every election they can. And they will actually win some in small pockets of the country where people are stupid enough to believe that Bush's presidential library will contain anything more than a large room filled with indifference.
In any case, my point is this. How can any sane person believe that Pat Robertson has conversations with God? There’s a tremendous difference between being gullible and being outright nuts. IMO, anyone who still listens to anything this con artist has to say has crossed the line between gullibility and mental instability.
One additional thought – Pat won’t tell us what God told him regarding who will win the ’08 election. At least the town folk of old got a bottle of snake oil. Today’s saps get nothing but a wagon load of pre-owned bullshit.
And before I forget, Huckabee is nothing more than Pat Robertson in a cheaper suit.
