If Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s latest stump speech is successful, his opponents will find themselves campaigning against Christ.
Speaking to a tea party group at Windham High School in New Hampshire on Thursday, the former Pennsylvania senator actually compared himself to the Christian savior.
Santorum told the crowd that during a radio interview earlier in the week, a man had phoned in to tell him, “We don’t need a Jesus candidate; we need an economic candidate.”
“My answer to that was, we always need a Jesus candidate,” Santorum, who is a Catholic, recalled.
“I don’t mean that in saying we need a Jesus candidate, someone who’s a Christian, but we need someone who believes in something more than themselves, some higher power, some god,” he added. “When we say, ‘God bless America,’ do we mean it or do we just say it?”

'Hmmm, Perhaps a Shot at Mitt Romney???' I have always asked, just how the GOP is going to get Mitt through, with all the Bitching they did about Barack Obama being a 'Christian!!!'

Did he just call himself Jesus?! He's like that old guy who said that Jesus told him the world is gonna end. They both need to be in the mental hospital. Even though Jesus loves everybody, he probably has thoughts about people like Santorum. I wonder if he's mad at him!

Most of what "God does" is connected with the correct outworking of his purpose. Sometimes that can make it appear a certain nation has his blessing.
However, the Anti~Christ unlike Christ IS HIGHLY POLITICAL so sometimes they cause things to happen that are fantastic enough to look like Jesus caused it or wanted it.
We are all pawns on a very large Chess board. All we can do is choose which side to be a pawn of. We remain Pawns, nothing more. Any time a person points a gun at another to kill that person there's a 50-50 chance God, or the Anti~Christ, doesn't want that intended victim to die. So the Shooter who chooses to attempt killing someone has a high likelihood his gun will explode in his hand, his own life being deemed expendable.
Moral of the Story => Aim, Fire, be ready to be buried.

The man is certifiable. If Jesus were here he would not have anything to do with this lunatic. How can any rational person think this individual should lead a nation? I would not put him in charge of a dog pound and feel he would have compassion for the animals. This is a very sad excuse for a human being. Certainly not the Christian that Jesus taught people to be.

No Republican would EVER vote for Jesus with his liberal ass views. I recommend Jesus gets a haircut to get rid of that long ridiculous hippy hair, gets rid of those minimalist sandals for some American Brand Shoe Co. shoes. Starts preaching gays will go to hell regardless of any aforementioned forgiveness. Why isn't Jesus ever wearing a cross necklace? Huh? What's his fucking problem with the cross huh?? ...Jesus Christ man. You wanna get Republican votes without wearing a cross necklace? Psh... And finally why don't you support the right to bear arms Jesus? What kind of gun do you own? Oh 'God' don't tell me you don't believe in weapons...

Jesus didn't like politicians.....
further back Gideon refused to be King, because God was their ruler...
"The Israelites said to Gideon, 'Rule over us -- you, your son and your grandson -- because you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.'
But Gideon told them, 'I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The LORD will rule over you.'" (Judges 8:22-23)I would argue that GOD himself didn't create men to have dominion over other men....
God is an Anarchist...... as is his son....

Someone should remind this self righteous douchebag about the other passages in the bible..not just the ones pertaining to gays. Like this one - "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Jesus would not be happy with Santorum.

Coupled with the fact that if you're following Jesus' example you have to recognize the fact that he refused to be king, didn't cast judgement on others and helped those in need to name just a few. This man is so far from that he doesn't even know those things exist.
