GOP Senate Candidate Jim Lamon proclaims himself Arizona's Savior

[amb123]

Lamon claims to know God’s plan to save America throughout most of the 30-second clip before turning the attention back to himself, hinting that such a plan might involve his ascension into office.

“What was offensive to me was this whole notion that he is the Savior,” Chandler-based trial attorney Tom Ryan told New Times. “It’s wholly inappropriate and offensive. It made me sick to my stomach when I saw that.”

Ryan, a Christian and former GOP voter, jilted the party in 2010. Today, he doesn't recognize the Republican Party he grew up in, he said.

“There is a real rise of Christian dominionism, which is not true Christianity at all,” Ryan said. “It should be concerning to everybody. By hitching their wagon to Christianity, they retain power, like in Nazi Germany.”
