God Knows How to Pick 'Em

In the run up to elections at all levels, candidates or their proxies often say that God called them to run. But if experience is any guide, pols should be wary if they get the call from on high. They might consider the line from the Biblical book of Matthew, "Many are called, but few are chosen."

This year, we have no less than four God-called GOP candidates for president, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), (Mrs. Perry agrees) and now Herman Cain. So far.

When they answer questions they never seem to ask themselves "What would Jesus do?"
They don't seem to have the Christian values that Jesus would teach.

The Bible says God never intended for there to be leaders, such as kings.

The Israelite s begged and begged God for a king that He finally gave in and allowed them to have a king.

Why He would tell anyone, much less 4, to run for office is beyond me.

Of course I don't believe either one of them.
