Scott Walker tells supporters: ‘I am certain’ my 2016 presidential run ‘is God’s plan for me’

[DonViejo]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sent an email to his supporters on Monday describing his recently announced campaign for the White House as part of God’s plan.

The 47-year-old second-term Republican governor said in a fundraising email sent by the “Scott Walker for America” campaign that his decisions were driven by his faith in God, reported Right Wing Watch.

“My relationship with God drives every major decision in my life. Each day I pray and then take time to read from the Bible and from a devotional named Jesus Calling,” the email said.

“As you can imagine, the months leading up to my announcement that I would run for President of the United States were filled with a lot of prayer and soul searching.”

“Here’s why: I needed to be certain that running was God’s calling — not just man’s calling. I am certain: This is God’s plan for me and I am humbled to be a candidate for President of the United States,” Walker said in the email.

1. Oh boy. Another Jesus waver...

All 16 of the Rethug candidates are Jesus wavers.

[Blus4u]

11. If this guy is religious....

I'm the Emporer of Patagonia!

All his message to supporters proves is he is damned liar.

Peace

[tularetom]

2. God is sure as hell lying to somebody

Or else he's a big ol practical joker and he's just fucking with all of them.

Walker is at least the 4th or 5th one who has claimed that God told him to run.

[thecrow]

7. God's just making sure that we all vote Democratic.

I never trust anyone who makes statements like Walker.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh

[randys1]

3. According to this person god hates poor people and only wants to hang with rich people, or Jesus

whatever you guys call him or her or whatever it is.

Hmmm...so, either there is no god, at all.

Or just about everybody has a very different opinion of what god is.

Frankly I am disappointed that in 2015 the words god or jesus still come up, at all.

[hifiguy]

4. I think you're hearing the Koch bros

and no one else.

I am so fucking sick of hearing imbecile gawd-botherers that I could scream. But I will let Fluttershy do it for me.

[Major Nikon]

20. The Krotch brothers ARE god to wingnuts

[olddots]

5. I sure hope he is the repukian candidate .

The guy is remarkably evil .

[GreatGazoo]

6. so to Walker the Koch brothers are "God" ?

[maxsolomon]

8. God told Russell Wilson not to have sex with Ciara, too

"I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors,
But I think that God has a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find him laughing."

9. So the corollary is that God doesn't want him to be governor of Wisconsin any more?

I'm surprised to hear about 'Jesus Calling', because with the way he treats Wisconsin, I would have pegged him for an Old Testament type.

[ibegurpard]

12. God wants him to learn some humility.

[Chemisse]

14. Lol - I had the same thought.

I didn't read yours until after I posted.

[kentauros]

23. I hope there's a reporter out there

that will at least ask him after he doesn't win the primaries, "Was it God's plan that you lost?"

[Chemisse]

13. I would not be surprised at all if this were true.

Perhaps God is trying to teach him a lesson in humility.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. You thought You had David Koch on the phone once, too. God might be pranking you too, Scotty.

[gratuitous]

16. Well that's an interesting assertion, Governor

I'd like to see our political journalists take you at your word, and ask you point-blank about that. Each and every time you get in front of a microphone or a reporter with a note pad, somebody asks you if your cowardly actions toward the Wisconsin protesters was duly informed by the Creator. Or how pilfering the wallets and slapping food out of the mouths of the poor comports with your Godly understanding. And so on.

[tanyev]

17. Hey, Scott! Ask Mittens how that White Horse Prophecy worked out for him four years ago.

[Bettie]

18. You know, I'm not religious any more

but this is not the Jesus I was taught about in Sunday school...Jesus wasn't an advocate for over the top evil and bowing down to the richest men around.

But, maybe it has changed.

But LOL about him being "humbled" by anything, he's the most arrogant creature ever.

[hifiguy]

21. You must have missed the part about Republican Jesus

[Bettie]

22. That explains it then...

I did miss that part.

[n2doc]

19. ...

[MrScorpio]

24. Thar she blows! Greg Stillson off the starboard bow!

Avast, ye mateys!

[Solly Mack]

25. LMAO

Yeah, yeah. They all prayed and their god said for them all to run.

[Agschmid]

26. Oh... Here we go.

[Jester Messiah]

27. Well... I know why -I- dislike Walker...

I wonder if God's got the same reasoning, or hates him for something else?
