Who Told Herman Cain to Run For President? God Did

Well, now we have the answer. If you’ve been wondering who convinced Herman Cain to run for President, he says God did:

“I prayed and prayed and prayed,” Cain told a group of young Republicans in Atlanta, according to National Journal. “I’m a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I’d ever done before in my life. And when I finally realized that it was God saying that this is what I needed to do, I was like Moses. ‘You’ve got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?’”

That’s sort of weird, because if you’ve been following the Republican Presidential nomination race, Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich in varying ways also suggested God was egging them on,too. God egged them on and Republicans are egging them off.

And I’m sure that God also told Cain that the liberal media, the “Democrat machine,” Rick Perry’s campaign and my pet cat Clawdette were all behind the four women coming out with sexual harassment allegations.

Of one thing thing I’m pretty sure:

God didn’t give Cain the recipe for Godfather’s Pizza.

    The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.

    I wonder if Jesus also spoke to him when he was reaching up women’s skirts?

  3. Allen says:

    All these accusations are false. Even the boy scouts could easily find four women to accuse a presidential candidate of something negative. In the past we had evidence before assassinating a man’s character. Now all it requires is simple accusation. Why is it that no one trying to establish a connection between these women and the other candidates?

    Whodathunkit…

    Cain’s massive ego is God.

    Allen, you think they haven’t been trying? I suggest you do some more research before before turning control over to your inner cynic. This could all be above board.

    “This could all be above board”…

    “Could”

    My inner cynic says: If a frog COULD fly he wouldn’t bump his butt when he hopped.

    It all started when Herman Cain put on that hat. No one ever noticed that there was NO Feather in Herman Cain’s hat. You can’t call a man a pimp without a feather!

    Allen, don’t be afraid to let those scales fall from your eyes. ;-)

    That God . . . such a kidder!

    Well, God does have a big heart.

    And in the case of Cain, He is very forgiving, too.

  10. Rcoutme says:

    Truly the Lord works in mysterious ways. Perhaps God had a hidden motive for pushing him to run? Maybe he wanted Cain to have to face these allegations in the public; which suggests that he didn’t like the cover-up done by the Restaurant Association.

    I strongly believe that God does care about politics on Earth…just not the way that men think He does.
