Bachmann Holding Out for Signal From God Before Mounting Presidential Bid
By Matthew DeLong 8/17/09 9:37 AM


The Minnesota Independent’s Andy Birkey points to a recent interview Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) gave to the conservative Website WorldNetDaily, in which Bachmann said she will only make a bid for president if God calls on her to run.

“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.

Should Democrats be concerned? As Birkey notes, God already told her to run for Congress.

1. She is dyslexic, it was a DOG, not GOD.

[DLnyc]

26. She's mounting a dog?

[tsuki]

2. I think Charlie Brown stated it best, "Oh, Good Grief."

[silverweb]

3. Like being struck by lightening?

That would be a clear enough signal, I think. :D

[unc70]

24. Exactly the image that flashed before me

In my editorial cartoonish image, at the top near the origin of the bolt the words "Waits over".

Several other in-worse-taste alternatives. Almost too easy, doesn't require Colbert's advances in0 God.

[silverweb]

25. Great minds, etc... lol

Well, Ms. "God-talks-to-me" Bachmann did ask for a "sign" .... :evilgrin:

[Buzz Clik]

4. God's got a pretty good sense of humor. He may tell her to run.

[CanonRay]

5. I'm not religious but I hope God does call her

[izquierdista]

10. If you're not religious

Then you better call her. Maybe use Skype so that her caller ID says "out of area" and she will think it's coming from heaven. Lower your voice and talk into a long piece of conduit. Use a bit of cold reading on her: "Michelle, I was so disappointed with you that summer in high school....yes, you remember, don't you? But you've matured since then.....grown in your faith....I want you....to run"

The fun some electronics nerds could have with her. :rofl: :rofl:

[SoCalDem]

6. Aaah.. Michele, my belle

[Me.]

7. Cat Fight For The Presidency?

Bachmann v. Palin

[Rectangle]

27. Throw in Oily Titz and make it a whacky threesome!

All trying to out-wingnut each other!!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Sheepshank]

8. Remember that Devil guy?

He's been known to give out false signals and pretend he's God. I'm not sure I'm convinced Bachmann has the wherewithal to discern the difference?

OTOH, I think the Beelzebub is having a field day with the Reps. Sort of the biggest fun house around. Maybe this would be a good time for him to screw with them them just one more time :)

9. Someone is gonna wire her pillow and about 3AM...gonna speak to her sleeping ear

using Morgan Freemans voice

she will think its HIM/HER

[marmar]

11. Hopefully that signal will come in the form of a straight jacket....

:crazy:

[madaboutharry]

12. Thank you for posting.

I needed a laugh. :hi:

I wish George Burns was still alive and had her cell phone number.

13. That reminds me -- audio link (mp3)

14. I'm not generally a praying man

And I'm not sure you even exist, but please, please, please, have Michele Bachmann run for the presidency if you're really up there, Superman.

[kenfrequed]

15. uhm... concerned?

No, not even a little concerned.

If she runs she will further ruin the republican party.

If she somehow gets nominated she will destroy it.


If she gets elected then our people don't deserve America and the whole thing should probably just end anyhow.

[Mudoria]

16. The Lord has already told her to run for Congress..

and now she waits for him to tell her to run for President. Who says God doesn't have a wicked sense of humor?

[Vidar]

17. Would dropping a house on her count as a sign?

[Golden Raisin]

18. My condolences to those good

people in Minnesota who didn't vote for this wacko, but have to suffer having her as their representative.

[TokenQueer]

19. Ummm...Michele? I think we already have a ruling on this.

On edit: broken link

[Mrs. Overall]

20. She explained it once--God's voice sounds like Rex Harrison, the Good Michelle sounds like

Meryl Streep and the Bad Michelle sounds like Rita Moreno in her head and Jesus sounds like Adam West, but the Apostle Paul sounds like Russell Crowe inside her head and....

[loyalkydem]

21. When pigs fly

lady, no thank you.

[Javaman]

22. Run, Michele, Run!!!

this is god speaking, no it's not the voices in your head, it's really me! The G-Man!!! yes, yes, run, for the good of the nation and the Democrats, run!!! What's that? oh yeah, um, I meant republicans, yeah, that's what I really meant, honestly. I mean, if you can't trust me, who can you trust, right? What? I sound like your dentist? Metal fillings? Radio signals? Oh Michele, you hurt me, like I said, I'm not the voices in your head, I'm god!! The real deal. So, please run for office! It's your duty!!!

oh and your dentist says you need a cleaning.

[izzybeans]

23. So who dares mail her a picture of herself photoshopped into the oval office

with the return address, "God"?

Signed "Good Luck! From, God"

"P.S. I'll be watching."

[Pharlo]

28. This message brought to you by Michelle Bachman for President,

Oral Roberts, Treasurer.

[HughMoran]

29. Looney toons presents...

:eyes:

[GrantDem]

30. Here's to hoping that she gets that call.

GO MICHELLE...

[RagAss]

31. Crazier than a Shithouse Rat !

[saltpoint]

32. What fun it would be to have both Bachmann and Palin in the GOP primary,

with Huck and Willard and Newt and Haley.
