Why Does God Only Talk To Crazy Criminal Republicans?

Many of the GOP’s 2016 frontrunners are giving credit to one thing for their biggest inspiration to run for president: God. God has spoken, and he has, on record, asked Rick Perry, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Ben Carson, and Mike Huckabee to run for president. Why is God so infatuated with having a Republican as president?

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

"Some Christians seem to me inclined to lose track of love, compassion and mercy. I don't think I have any special brief to go around judging them, but when the stink of hypocrisy becomes so foul in the nostrils it makes you start to puke it becomes necessary to point out there is one more good reason to observe the separation of church and state: If God keeps hanging out with politicians, it's gonna hurt his reputation."

The loudest of the voices screaming, singing, chanting old commercials, and calling for pudding in you heads is not God.

Note to God
If you must speak to these republicans; couldn't you be a bit more traditional and use lighting?



If God actually said to any one of these nitwits "You're a terrible person who seriously needs time alone to reflect on your life and make restitution for your sins against the rest of mankind".
They would conclude God was speaking in tongues and urging them to go further.

It's Satan, disguised as God, conning them into thinking God's talking to them--and they're taking the bait hook, line, and sinker.

And they - plus the "In God We Trust" God - have told them to run!
