God tells woman Romney will help her

SUMTER, S.C. - Amid shaking hands and signing campaign posters, Mitt Romney did something he has never done before on the ropeline: He took out his wallet and handed a wad of cash to a woman waiting to shake his hand.

The woman, 55-year-old Ruth Williams, says she has been following the Romney campaign since he arrived in the state on Jan. 11, when she said she received a message from God to track him down.

"I was on the highway praying and said, 'God just show me how to get [my] lights on,' and I pulled up to a stop sign and his bus was there," said Williams, who has been unemployed since last October. "And then God said, 'Follow the bus,' and I followed the bus to the airport."

(as well as others).

It appears God is something of a prankster and sometimes enjoys messing with a mere mortal.

"someone get our grifter on the line, we have to show that romney is ordained by god so the holy rollers will vote for us!"

Shades of Kuwaiti babies being thrown out of incubators.

for handouts? Maybe Romney should offer her a living wage for "working at his campaign office cleaning and just doing little things."

Troubling story.

Wouldn't this be considered buying votes? Maybe Mitt could place people outside the poles, to pay for votes.
