I guess all of you have heard by now that Pat Robertson has had a vision, and George Bush is "In". Why, then should we waste all of that money, not to mention the agony of the public, on holding the election? Maybe because some of us still doubt that God is a Republican. Dave
Not since God told Oral Roberts to get the money to build his temple, or else, has a more startling celestial revelation occurred than the one experienced last week by the Reverend Pat Robertson.
The gospel according to Pat is that George Bush will win the 2004 presidential election no matter who the Democrats pick. Pat has a direct pipeline to God, especially where politics is concerned; therefore, Zogby and all those other pollsters might as well fold their tents and move to Iraq. That is because if God has picked little George with such Robertson visionary certitude, He no doubt also has foreordained the outcome of the middle east struggle and…..WE WIN!
What a disappointment it is going to be for Pat when he reascends Mr. Sinai to verify the vision. (Even visionaries have doubts.)
I can see it now. Suddenly the bush will again burst into flame, only to be quenched by a sudden devil-inspired, axis-of-evil terrorist cloudburst.
From the ashes will come a soot-covered apparition who Pat at first mistakes for Jesse Jackson. As the apparition moves closer, the reverend will suddenly recognize an all-too-familiar figure, muttering gibberish as usual.
It will be the most startling revelation since Toto pulled down the curtain to expose the Wizard of Oz.
"Oh, My God!", the reverend Pat will exclaim. "Is that you, Rummy?"
