I believe God wants..."I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president."<br /><br />That is a far different thing than saying God "wanted him in office." Additionally, it is a common supposition from everyone that is religious, to say that they feel God led them to do something is common as dirt, my friend. But it is not the same thing as saying that God told them to do it because it is some "right" of theirs to do a thing, or that they are destined to be "the" one to do a thing.<br /><br />Bush never said that God preordained his presidency, nor that He, Bush, had some God chosen right to be president. He said he felt the call to run and knew he could have lost.<br /><br />Then again, we DO know that you and your anti-religious left-wingers are simply looking to nit pick your most hated president. After all, if you REALLY cared about the "religion thing" you'd be just as mad at Obama. In fact, more so. He's used religious allusions far more than Bush ever dreamed of doing.<br /><br />In fact, you'd hate every president no matter the party nor the era. They have ALL said similar things. Even the supposedly "deist" Jefferson did.<br /><br />Ah, consistency. It's a be-atch ain't it?Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673569384659379202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612105.post-78362774561569199532009-07-02T00:16:39.928-07:002009-07-02T00:16:39.928-07:00"I've heard the call.
