Perry set to blame God for poor showing in Iowa.

WASHINGTON, Iowa--If Rick Perry drops out of the Republican presidential race after the Iowa caucuses, blame it on God.

“That’s God’s will,” Perry told a reporter when asked if there was any outcome on Tuesday that would cause him to end his presidential bid. “There might be an outcome that he decides that I wouldn’t go on.” But he’s hoping that the big man will be there for him on Jan. 3. When asked by the same reporter if God was caucusing, Perry responded, “Pretty sure He will be.”

And every year it's the same request: He wants to save all the world.

Jesus Christ! What's a dad to do?

Or is he going to start castigating voters for it?

Why do we even pay any serious attention to the GOP circus?

It's my will too.

Actually I wish they'd just all drop out and save us the trouble, because Obama's going to wipe the floor with any of this sad lot.

This is the best Republicans could come up with? Pathetic.

He prayed for rain for Texas in April...Texas (and many surrounding states) go through the worst drought since the dust bowl.
Wasn't that message clear enough about what your god thinks of you governor goodhair?

We should just sit back and find out who god puts in the white house on inauguration day.

Personally, I'm dying to find out.
