Karl Rove is God??? :eek:
Shit, we’re really screwed now…
Some unknown reason’s always a possibility if one has as well fittted of a foil fedora as I have. Maybe his bread is butter on another side these days? Pre-positioning to align his interests with other elements on the right for reasons of his own? Possibly he feels that GWB has somehow re-aligned his interests? Maybe a little of both.
There’s been talk at the American Spectator of a qualified willingness to switch from GWB and endorse “liberal hawks.”
I’d start by examining this angle first. Until this is ruled out, I’ll be reluctant to accept any circumstantial evidence as indicative of Roberston acting from less than helpful intentions.
The problem Simon, is that he would have had to make this decision to hurt Bush long before now, because as we’ve pointed out, he’s been telling this story for a while now. It’s only after it got front page press that the WH is, well, SORT of denying it. And at least in public, he still endorses Bush as not only his choice, but God’s choice. You’d have to be pretty darn screwed up to lie about what you think God told you.
Eh. Before I had Pat Roberton’s number, I used to watch some of the 700 Club on occasion. I never liked him. Never trusted him. He gave off bad vibes.
I don’t necessarily take his word as gospel. Never have. This proves nothing, either way, to me.
Hijack:
Hey, Weird With Words, where you been? C’mon back, guy, you’re missed.
Thanks for the sentiment, it does the heart good to know I’m missed.
Something distracted me at some point, and while I can’t remember what, I’m sure it was important. By the time I got back to it, they were charging for membership. And, things being as tight as they are (think of Shel Silverstein’s “Oh heck it’s up to my neck”, and you’ve got the idea) I can’t really justify spending five bucks on what is essentially a form of entertainment.
Of course, that tax break of GWB’s should be kicking the job market into gear any minute now…
But I’m not holding my breath. At least, not until it’s covered by my health insurance.
The thing is, while I’ve never actually asked, I’m sure I’m kinda bending the rules by posting under my dad’s name. For that matter, I guess I could probably just keep registering new variations on my name until their trial periods end. But once again, I’m pretty sure that would be, at the very least bending the rules, if not breaking them outright. I may be an iconoclast, but I’ve got more respect than that. And who knows, maybe Santa will actually get my christmas list this year and I’ll be able to become a real member of the community. Maybe I’ll get that hummer too! (Erm, not the automobile. And definitely not from Santa. Ew.) At any rate, until such a time comes, I’ll just content myself with saying something when I simply cannot resist the urge.
For instance, when I see a title like “God, Pat Robertson, and GWB” and think “Too… many… zinger responses… can’t… hold… back!”
Your friendly neighborhood spokesman for the prolific proletariat,
Weird With Words
P.S. God, Pat Robertson, and GWB…
…walk into a bar, and the bartender says “What, is this some kind of bad dream?”
…three people who shall have no other before them.
…one is dog backwards, one is tap backwords, and the other is ass backwards.
…proof that anything can get progressively worse.
…three instances of a dubious spiritual affiliation.
how about:
…one of these things is not like the other
Well, the bad news, Weird With Words, is that it’s up to $14.95 now. I’d really be loving life right now, were I in a position to spot you or sponsor you for a year, but I amn’t, alas.
Still, with any amount of luck, I’ll be celebrating my ass off on November 3, and mayhap I’ll get drunk enough to post an offer.
Take care, young man, and don’t get your Pop in too much trouble.
Geez, Weird With Words, I’ve never bumped ASCII with you before, but I miss you already too.
Quick, someone get this guy $15 and a tad too much spare time.
'Cause you know he can do that all by himself! 
I was reading the commentary in the Decatur Daily about this. I got towards the end and found thisamusing nugget:
Snerk.
I have - via my inborn skill named Halucination Ability - direct communication with OBL, who as we all know is as inspired as Bush is. Hence I can assure you that you must have no doubts about this Great Plan.
Just give me an address to send you a copy of Al Qur’an and mark the desired language.
Salaam. A
I don’t know where you get your foil hats fitted, but these’re hardly problems- just further eplanantions.
Perhaps it’s an issue of controlled burn?
**Robertson: If Bush ‘touches’ Jerusalem, we’ll form 3rd party**
Last Update: 04/10/2004 22:44
By Daphna Berman, Haaretz correspondent, and agencies
“The President has backed away from [the road map], but if he were to touch Jerusalem, he’d lose all Evangelical support,” Robertson said. “Evangelicals would form a third party” because, though people “don’t know about” Gaza, Jerusalem is an entirely different matter.
There IS a third party for people such as Robertson; Constitution Party.
Aldebaran, I just gotta tell you that when you’re not busy telling us what idiotic, ignorant lowlives we are for electing a president that most of us hate with a burning passion (and for being stupid, bumbling, arrogant Americans in general), you are one funny and delightful guy!
Of course they are problems. You said that Robertson’s comments show that he suddenly wants Bush to lose.
The problem with this arguments are:
-these comments are not new
-Robertson endorses Bush
-Robertson says that GOD endorses Bush
As messed up as Robertson might be, I think lying about who he believes God endorses would be a bit of a stretch.
I am pretty miffed! Why does God only communicate with a chosen few? None of our politicians (some of whom where outwardly religious, some were quite stupid and arrogant too, but all have been self-declared Catholics) they have never received any instructions/mandates from God?
I want my politicians to talk to God too!*
*Not!
:rolleyes:
It’s quite simple, really! Conservative politicians make a big deal about talking to God. Liberal ones simply speak briefly about their faith in response to direct questions, and otherwise show by their lives and stances that they listen to Him.
Obviously he’s been plotting this in secret the whole time.
This cover-up proves PR has plots against GWB.
The Mandate of Heaven is both mutable and conditional.
Or, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart.
Or, God’s in on PR plots against GWB.
Maybe God told him to.
Would you like me to send you the name of my foil hattery? Your foil must be letting mind-control rays get through if you can’t dodge these sorts contradictions from reality.
