Everything was falling into place for Perry, who announced his bid one week after The Response, and Religious Right activists were already talking up Perrys supernatural gifts. Pat Robertson said that Perry successfully founded his administration on the Bible, Jerry Falwell Jr. thought he was the second coming of Ronald Reagan, Tom Schlueter called Perry an answer to his prayer that one of our political leaders will rise up to bring the nation back to God and Lou Engle even said that God so approved Perrys presidential campaign that the day he announced his candidacy God sent rain to Texas to alleviate the states drought:While campaigning in South Carolina, Anita Perry compared her husband to Gideon and said that like with Gideons fleece, God was telling Perry to run for president. God was already speaking to me but and other people too, but Perry only understood the message until he threw that fleece out there twice to make sure it came back with what he needed to do.

So that makes two teabaggers that claimed God sent them to be Prez that have failed miserably, Perry and Bachmann. Jeez Perry even had a so-called prophet in his corner, LOL!
So whats the explanation for all this BS teabaggers? Obviously you all don't know the voice of God at all...so...whos voice was it??!

OP
Is that fleece stuff some kind of allegory for what Hairdo wants to do to the country?

(7,570 posts)6. Perry got the old high school "Mean Girl" prank from God.
Make someone think they're favored and popular, then pull the rug out from under them and publicly humiliate them.
Even God gets a few laughs out of doin' stuff like that to a douche like Perry.
