A belly chuckle: Michele Bachmann Expecting 'Divine Intervention' to Win Iowa Caucuses

[Tx4obama]

Michele Bachmann told ABC News she expects to defy her dismal poll numbers with a “miraculous” result in the Iowa caucuses.

“We’re going to see an astounding result on Tuesday night — miraculous,” Bachmann told ABC News in an interview at her Iowa campaign headquarters surrounded by young supporters from her alma mater Oral Roberts University.

“We’re believing in a miracle because we know, I know, the one who gives miracles,” Bachmann said.

LOL

Okay, we all know that regarding the election of a U.S. President the U.S. Constitution says something like: "...there shall be no religious test ..."
which is fine, BUT ...

I am beginning to believe that ALL candidates should be required to under go at least one psychiatric examination and also regular drug screening tests throughout the campaign season!

1. has she got a deal with diebold

or what.

[SomethingFishy]

2. She did say "I know the one who gives miracles"

[oldhippydude]

3. Roberts like thermometers

are Oral or Anal.. sure she got her degree from the right thermometer?

[quaker bill]

4. In that most of them feel "called by God" to run

Who does she think the Divine will intervene for? In that most of them feel the "calling", one could conclude that "Divine intervention" was involved regardless of who wins...

I don't actually think anything that I might term "Divine" is involved here...

[Tx4obama]

11. And regarding the GOPers that believe 'The Divine One' intervines in elections ...

it would seem that they would have been more open to accepting Obama's win in 2008 since it would have come from 'The Divine One'

But we know that never happened and will not in 2012 either.

p.s. I am of the belief that 'The Divine One' does NOT intervene in elections, sports, etc.

12. +1

Why then does Bachmann make the types of statements that she does, about President Obama? Clear hypocrisy right there. Some religious right strike me as total egoists - God is all about them and doesn't really count anyone else.

16. They believe Bette Midler intervenes in elections?

[Scuba]

21. Tell her to ask Tim Tebow about the four picks he threw last week....

... so she'll be prepared for how to feel after the Caucus.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. With apologies to believers, but that is way too many virgin births

Yes, that is the kind of miracle level required here.

[spartan61]

6. I do believe that God has more important things to do

than monitor a repuke caucus. (He also doesn't select the winner of Survivor or a football game.)

[southernyankeebelle]

7. There is no help for the woman. She is going off the train tracks.

[Douglas Carpenter]

8. so, if she wins....then will you believe?

[barbtries]

9. no.

she won't, but no.

[Angry Dragon]

10. Go towards the light Michele, run, hurry

I do not want her to run for the House again

[Tx4obama]

13. I'm still in shock that she won her re-election in 2010.

I thought for sure the interview she did with Chris Matthews back in 2008 (the one where she called for a media expose` of anti-american folks in Congress) would have been the end of her career as a politician.

17. They poured a ton of money into the race

and I do not think she did many debates
just a lot of Fox

[The Genealogist]

14. I'm going to spit up

Do these dingbats think that, if there is a God, s/he has time, energy, or interest enough to care whether Mao Tse Bachmann carries Iowa? SERIOUSLY? I'd think millions starving and dying in wars would be of greater interest. Hell, I'd think about ANYTHING would be of greater interest to a being purported to have created the entire universe.

15. Is Divine Intervention one of those famous drag queens?

[Motown_Johnny]

18. When she ends up in 6th place (out of 7) I hope she blames God

for that too.


I wonder, if a Mormon wins does that mean she should convert? It looks like a message from God to me!

[sakabatou]

19. By "divine intervention" I think she means more Koch money

[HughBeaumont]

20. Does God ever tell these fuckos anything BAD?

How DARE people like Michele Bachmann pass themselves off as serious. The voting public really IS this fucking stupid that an imbecile like this is as far in life as she is. I'm convinced. In terms of sheer brain surgery, this is like "voting for Bewsh twice" on amphetamines.

[Gman]

22. Well, "the one who gives miracles also protects, small children, drunks and idiots

So why not her?
