Unfortunately, God has made yet another egregious mistake in his advice to Pat Robertson, telling him to endorse Rudy for the Republican nomination. (Pat, like george, needs better advisers!)
With God's candidate dropping out of the race, will Pat choose someone else on his own (the Mormon? the non-conservative? Ron Paul?) or just wait for another update from God?
Pat Robertson: God told me who will win ‘08 election(Think Progress, January 3, 2008)Each year, Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson “goes off alone with the Lord and then comes back to share with us what the Lord has shown him about the coming year.” This year, according to Robertson, God told him what will happen in the ‘08 election:
On Wednesday, Robertson, 77, implied that
God informed him who will be elected president in November.“He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say, because some old man on “60 Minutes” would make fun of me, so I’m not going to tell you who the winner’s going to be,” Robertson said, in apparent reference to CBS humorist Andy Rooney, who turns 89 on Jan. 14.
In 2004, Robertson claimed that the Lord told him it would “be like a blowout” re-election for President Bush. Bush, however, received just 51 percent of the vote that November. In 2006, he incorrectly predicted that “the outcome of the war and the success of the economy will leave the Republicans in charge.”UPDATE: Robertson also said that this year, God told him China will become a Christian nation: “God’s going to give us China. And China will be the largest Christian nation on the face of the earth. They’re going to come to Jesus.”
