God Caught Backing Multiple GOP Candidates for President
After a thorough investigation, Daily Intel has discovered that God
is separately backing at least three different contenders for the
Republican presidential nomination.
Over the course of the past few months and even years, God has sent
signs and direct messages to each of these candidates encouraging them
to run, presumably without telling them that he supports other
candidates as well.
Herman Cain: When Cain's granddaughter was born in 1999, Cain says his
first thought upon holding her was, "What do I do to make this a better
world?" Cain told Christian radio host Bryan Fischer in January, "I
know that that had to be God almighty sending that thought through my
mind." That's the background for what happened twelve years later.
While campaigning for president around December of 2010, Cain was
feeling tired and discouraged when he received a direct sign from God
that he must continue. This sign was delivered via God's preferred
method of communication, the text message:
Cain has also heard from God more directly, as he told a tea party
rally in April
<http://townhall.com/news/politics-elections/2011/04/16/pawlenty,_cain_a\
ddress_tea_party_rally_in_iowa> :
Cain told the crowd about his battle with cancer in 2006, saying he's
been "totally cancer free" for the past five years.
"You want to know why? God said, 'Not yet Herman,'" Cain told the
crowd. "God said, 'Not yet. I've got something else for you to do.' And
it might be to become the president of the United States of America."
Rick Santorum: But around the same time God was encouraging Herman Cain
to run for president, he was also telling Rick Santorum to throw his
hat in the race. As Karen Santorum told CBN's David Brody in May
<http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2011/05/03/exclusive-karen-sa\
ntorum-on-2012-race-its-about-going-on.aspx> about her husband's
decision to run for president, "It really boils down to God's will.
What is it that God wants? ... We have prayed a lot about this
decision, and we believe with all our hearts that this is what God
wants."
Michele Bachmann: Meanwhile, Michele Bachmann is all but certain
<http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/55816.html> to jump into the
race soon, and when she does, it will signal that God has been quietly
encouraging her to run for president as well. As Bachmann told World
Net Daily in 2009
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=106941> , she would
never run without God's personal endorsement:
"If I felt that's what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it,"
she answered. "When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do
something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if
God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard.
"If I am called to serve in that realm I would serve," she concluded,
"but if I am not called, I wouldn't do it."
Bachmann recently confirmed
<http://www.iptv.org/iowapress/episode.cfm/3839> that she has, indeed,
"had that calling and that tugging on my heart."
God hasn't been universally generous with his support. He went out of
his way to let Mike Huckabee know that he shouldn't run for president
<http://blog.chron.com/believeitornot/2011/05/signs-from-heaven-to-mike-\
huckabee/> , lest he take his focus off the much more important task of
producing a series of conservative American history DVDs
<http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/05/mike-huckabee-fixes-american\
-history-video.php> .
And though God arranged for Sarah Palin to be chosen as John McCain's
running mate
<http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/11/politics/main6082616.shtml>
in 2008, there's nothing to indicate that he backs her potential
candidacy in 2012. Nevertheless, the fact that God has privately
encouraged the candidacies of three different Republicans may cause
voters to question whether, in reality, he really even has any
preference at all.
God could not be reached for comment by press time, because, a
spokesman says, he was helping a baseball player hit a game-winning home
run, giving an old churchgoing lady the winning lottery numbers, making
sure that a plane made it through the turbulence okay, helping someone
survive a heart attack, and also, just for fun, creating a new animal
that's like a cross between a leopard and an alligator.
