And then there were six.
When first announcing her candidacy to become the Republican presidential nominee, Michele Bachmann claimed that God had asked her to run. And so the question becomes, was God messing with her or is Bachmann one crazy lady? I’m thinking it’s the latter.
Her farewell speech highlighted her delusional ways in grand fashion with references to taking back the country, repealing Obamacare, (etc.)…because, “Mr. Franklin and all the Founders, all the men, all the women, who have given their last full measure of devotion…and our military, our veterans are watching us…and the God who created us…to keep our Republic free.”
Nutcase.
With Bachmann and Cain gone, two of the three least qualified contenders are out of the picture. It appears that Rick Perry (who has the money) hasn’t been embarrassed enough so he’ll be hanging around for his South Carolina thrashing. But then again, with the not-Romney revolving door working overtime as it has, why shouldn’t Perry stick around. If the ridiculous Rick Santorum can climb to the top of the heap, there’s no reason that the equally ridiculous Rick Perry can’t find himself there again.
This much I do know, the Saturday and Sunday Republican debates should be a slugfest. Can’t wait for the Gingrich-Santorum tag team to gang up on Romney. There’s something about perverse sleazeballs ripping each other apart that warms my soul.
Here’s TPM’s goodbye tribute to Bachmann.
UPDATE:
And while we’re on the topic of God and lying conservatives, here’s con man Pat Robertson using God and religion to fleece his naive followers into following his political agenda. Blatant lying by a supposed man of God does not get uglier than this. If anyone ever deserved to be struck down by a bolt of lightning, it’s this fraudulent sleaze.

Great artwork Mario, it only lacks a hole in Herman’s dumpster with a hand coming out and heading for Michelle’s derriere for a good groping.
Meanwhile, Pat Robertson claims that his god told him who the next president is going to be, but (Nyah! nyah!) he’s not going to tell us.
If I’m not mistaken, that kind of thing is biblically forbidden.
Thanks, Charlie.
Updated the post with the disgusting Robertson video E.A. linked to.
All these clues in Pat Robertson’s talk with God. Your country? Not God’s country? Economic collapse? Were we not on the brink of that in Bush’s last year in office? Radical? What is more radical then a President who took us to the middle east on faked evidence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction? Put our people in that desert land to be disabled for life, to die, and leave families behind for a cause based on fabrication just to appease his thirst for foreign oil? Then makes jokes about it, laughs about it when the weapons were never found. How sick is that? That is radical to the extreme.
Pat Robertson was a man I watched sometimes, even read a few of his books, but there was an obvious pattern to his teachings, and it almost always had to do with money. None of his family have stuck with the program he created. They were there for a time, but one by one they left Pat alone to hire the next young pretty woman to sit by his side. I was interested in his views on how to save, invest, etc., with our money. The old rule of working hard for most of your life, how to invest for retirement, etc. Of course, that all went out the window with theft of pensions, union busting, corporate take over of our government. All of which Pat Robertson was very deep in the middle of. Most of the people I know that watched his program stopped watching, as did I. If you have a brain, you can figure it out, eventually. That was a very long time ago. I think those were valuable lessons for me in understanding the reality behind that kind of person thinking they have God’s favor to teach others, but frankly, the teaching was how to know a liar for God when you see one. He thought too, that God wanted him to run for President, but I was long since over him by then. Perhaps God really did tell Pat, and Michelle to run for President, but if you notice, they never said God told them they would win. Maybe God wanted them to see themselves as he does.
Is there anyone in the Republican race whom God did not tell to run?
These people are disgusting ,despicable traitors to everything that this country is “supposed” to stand for.What is worse are the stupidity of the fools who vote for them.
