Big Politics Update
Remember the Jesus endorsed candidate, Anna Pierre?
Out of about 5,000 votes, she got 56, which is .08%. Oddly, the same blood/alcohol level in some states that qualifies you for drunk driving. Maybe Jesus truly is talking to her today.
Now I’m not saying that this result as compared to Mark Sanford’s win should have any reflection on the lifestyle we expect from our politicians, but …. oh hell, you know that’s exactly what I’m saying.
Thanks to Mike for the heads up.
It’s actually .011 which looks even worse. Just flaunting that highbrow education I’m gettin
1He (Jesus) may have been talking to her.
She just didn’t pay attention to what he told her.
Which probably was “Girl, you got no future in politics”.
Amen.
2I second that AMEN to Miemaw’s prayer.
3Have you noticed that Jesus seems to only tell people what they want to hear?
4The first shall be last has new meaning.
5Uh oh. Does that mean North Miami will go to hell or would that apply to all the rest of us, too?
6Because of researching the recent federal recommendation that lowers the “drunk” BAC to 0.05%, I know that all states now use the 0.08% level (I think the last one switched over in either 2004 or 2007). Regardless, that’s a pitiful showing for someone who thought she was chosen by God.
Then again, she might have been chosen to give away all her belongings and hit the road for Christ on foot (Matthew 10:21 and Luke 18:22, in which Jesus told the rich man to sell all his belongings and give the money to the poor; Luke 9:3, which says to take nothing for the journey but the clothes worn) and she missed the message.
7Unfortunately, Anna misunderstood the endorsement. He wasn’t telling her to run for office, just to RUN… far away from those voodoo people
8who were out to get her.
Do you suppose those 56 votes may have come from family, close friends [if she has any] and folks she paid to vote for her?
Can you just imagine Jesus up there, on the Right Hand of God, with a snarky smile on His face? I can … after all, I believe He does have a sense of humor!!
9Said ABOUT 5000. Thus .08 is not inherently wrong and could be correct.
10Nevertheless, about 5000 is the number Jesus fed with 3 loaves and 5 fishes, right? Or was it 3 fishes and 5 loaves? So even another connection. lol
The percentage was actually point 825. Pesky decimal points. My rule is never attempt any math until after the second cup of coffee.
11You’d think politicians would understand cause and effect. Pandering to God and Jesus doesn’t get you any attention by God or Jesus (unless you’re Rick Perry, in which the prayer for rain is met with more fires). Now, the voters might be a little less savvy in this case but only in places like oh… South Carolina. Miami’s a little too cosmopolitan to fall for the ‘Jesus Supports Me’ propaganda.
12She obviously had the phone number for jesus misplaced.
13I think her call got misdirected . Poor thing! Now she’ll have to find an excuse for such an embarrassing failure. Blame it on voodoo, or something. Check with Palin……she might know.
So what’s a few hundred voters difference, give or take. Could be a church with 700 members actually voted at all & only 56 of them voted for her – those reasonably devout church members that liked her. Or maybe her neighborhood HOA.
14She was quoted as to saying – “I don’t know about if he likes me more, but what I can tell you, I know he loves me very much,” Pierre said. “If it wasn’t for the love of Jesus I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
Sob – I guess he doesn’t love you more. BTW – Jesus doesn’t play favorites – I think that’s in the bible somewhere.
15Politics in Dallas can get a bit East-Texas-y on you from time to time:

I have a few firm rules about which voting lever I pull, and anybody who said that God told them to run isn’t on that list. It’s always pleasing when a lot of people agree.
17I guess Jesus doesn’t have a PAC after all.
