North Miami mayoral candidate touts endorsement from Jesus Christ

[brooklynite]

Source: Local 10

A mayoral candidate in North Miami claims she has received an endorsement from a higher power.

Campaign posters for Anna L. Pierre tout that she was endorsed by Jesus Christ.

"It's a spiritual endorsement. Why? Because everything I do I always get God involved," Pierre said.

Pierre, a registered nurse and 90s Creole-language pop star, said she prayed leading up to registering for her candidacy and received three signs that Jesus was her endorser.

I dunno - I have it on good authority that He's not an American Citizen...

[Auggie]

1. Disgusting ... I hope this bites her in the ass somehow

[darkangel218]

10. Yeps.

[snappyturtle]

2. I want proof. What were the 3 signs? Wacko-o looney toon imho nt

[snooper2]

3. From what I can gather she is a one hit wonder not a "pop star"

LOL---

Guess Jesus didn't want her to follow that path any more

(now it has 212 views )

4. Perhaps true, but how many vote did Des'ree get in her last campaign?

[Nye Bevan]

5. Ah, the coveted endorsement of the Lord Jesus.

The blonde white guy version, no less.

[onehandle]

6. More evidence of an International Jewish Conspiracy or something... nt

[AsahinaKimi]

7. I had heard she turned down Mohammad and the Buddha

As she didn't want them ruining her campaign ..



Kidding, of course.

[HockeyMom]

8. Haitian Creole?

Pierre is a very common surname there; same as "our" Smith. She is then in all likelihood a Jehovah Witness. I worked in Florida schools. So many are ULTRA religious, and proselytize.

[brooklynite]

12. I thought JW's didn't get involved in the political process.

[BainsBane]

15. Pierre? She's definitely Haitian

Which denomination of Christianity, I have no idea. I think the other poster is right about Jehovah's Witnesses. I think they are not even allowed to vote.

[darkangel218]

9. The haitian community in North Miami is very prevelant.

I wouldnt be surprised if she won.

North Miami is a shithole. I know cuz i lived there.

[RebelOne]

16. I lived there too at one time.

And the Haitian population is prevalent in all of Miami.

[HockeyMom]

25. I am in Naples

Large Haitian community here too, but when I worked on Long Island, there were many there also working with the developmentally disabled population. My comments are based solely on the Haitians I have worked with in NY and Florida. I do agree that those I have known were not political, but who knows?

[Freddie Stubbs]

46. She got less than 1% of the vote

[davidthegnome]

11. Even Christians don't believe it.

Seriously. If Jesus was going to endorse a political candidate, in the first place, he would have to exist. In the second place, he would have to be capable of speech, in the third... oh screw it.

If I pray really hard, you think he might endorse me for emperor of Canada? I always wanted to rule Canada....

[TrogL]

29. I've spoken to several rulers of Canada

They're not a happy bunch. You'd have to go all the way back to Trudeau to find a proper smile.

Seems to come with the territory.

[darkangel218]

13. I had a few employees that were haitians.

None of them could write. We are not talking about correct spelling and such, we are talking basic shit as writing visitors name ( at a concierge desk)
God, i don't miss Miami.

[RebelOne]

17. I live in North Georgia now and do not miss Miami one bit.

I grew up there.

[Rebellious Republican]

37. Dude or Dudette as the case may be, that says a lot!

Georgia, who would have thought that would be a liberal bastion with institutes of higher learning, this is not a flame by the way. I totally understand what you are saying.

[Enrique]

22. why didn't you like Miami?

too many Haitians?

[dmr]

34. I lived there too for 20+ years, and am glad I'm out.

Miami is just not the most friendly place to live.

[Rebellious Republican]

35. Are you from Miami or have you ever been there?

Just curious.

[Enrique]

38. a couple of times

the little I saw I didn't like very much.

[Rebellious Republican]

42. So you did not like Miami either?

I do not believe the post was racial or biased. I have been to both Haiti and Miami, I live in FloriDUH. I am ex-navy and have extensive knowledge of the Caribbean and South America.

Miami is the epitome of Corporate America having indentured servants, the best of both worlds. Everyone thinks of South Beach, and thats what you see on TV. Where do these people come from and live that take care of the uber wealthy. From there own privately controlled Islands (Haiti) and South America. These to large to fail corporations purposely keep a tight grip on the countries that give birth to their private slaves.

14. That may work with the Haitian community

I guess we'll find out.

[onehandle]

20. Hey... Dick Cheney was endorsed by Satan. That worked out pretty well for him. nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

47. She got less than 1% of the vote

[shawn703]

18. Okay, who played the "Real Genius" prank on her?

[SoapBox]

19. Pathetic

...the PukeBaggers will do ANYTHING to get their way.

Including "praying" on the weak minded, that cannot make any decisions of their own.

Pathetic.

[donquijoterocket]

27. for the efficacy of prayer

I've always recommended this experiment Pray in one hand and defecate in the other and see which gets full first. My late grandfather always suggested that one.Works for wishing too.

[olddots]

21. What the hell ?

n.t.

[brooklynite]

23. No, he endorsed her opponent...

[Rebellious Republican]

32. You forgot this......

[Rebellious Republican]

31. I am sure you meant " For heavens sake"

[PSPS]

24. Did Jesus Christ go back to that job at the record store?

The last I heard, he decided to go back home. There was that guy who took off his pants outside the stage door by the dumpster, but he wasn't really Jesus.

[tom_kelly]

26. Oh, Geez

Her and Georgie Bush with that whole "God told me" stuff.

[tanyev]

28. I'm not comfortable with citizens of foreign countries trying to influence our elections.

[Rebellious Republican]

30. Yep, this is FloriDUH! N/T

[kestrel91316]

33. Gawd might take offense at her hubris and unmitigated gall. I know I do.

[Hekate]

36. She got stigmata? What 3 signs is she talking about?

When I was growing up, thinking that Jesus was talking to you was considered one of the signs of insanity.

[Incitatus]

39. With Jesus behind her she doesn't need campaign donations

She should give those accounts to charity

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

40. I think this might be my dad's fault. He likes to prank call people and tell them he's Jesus...

God or the Holy Spirit. It depends on how he's feeling that day as to which he claims to be.

He normally asks if they would like to buy a leather bound, autographed first edition of the bible.

[davidthegnome]

43. ... That explains a lot

Tell your dad I want my money back!

Thought he was just an honest bible salesman... what is the world coming to?

[pangaia]

41. Damn it Anna,

I told you before NOT to use my name in your advertising. I definitely do NOT endorse you. I don't even know who you are. I have never seen you. I have never met you, never even talked to you.

Oh,, in that drawing you have---that certainly is not me. That's some white hippy dude with blondish hair.. I am NOT white and I DEFINITELY do not have blonde hair. And I would never, EVER be caught wearing a red robe. But that's another matter altogether.

44. Our return to the Middle Ages proceeds apace (n/t)

[Freddie Stubbs]

45. The election was today. North Miami voters have soundly rejected this fruitcake:

She recieved less than 1% of the vote:

[struggle4progress]

48. I nearly got his endorsement once but then he noticed that

"Sell everything you have and give the money to the poor" wasn't part of my platform that year

[Solly Mack]

49. lolololol

[geomon666]

50. Please, somebody get me out of this state!

[woodsprite]

51. Sounds like a Floridian version of Christine O'Donnell. n/t
