    Is God going to punish all of those voters that didn’t vote for him now?


  2. Howdy Neighbor says:

    Guess it was the absenteeism caught up with him.
    30 years on the board and attends 1 board meeting, according to his own spokesperson.
    Another false profit bites the dust.


  3. Democrat Soldier says:

    #2 – Of course God will punish them! Don’t you know that Pat is God’s chosen leader?!?
    (Tongue FIRMLY in cheek!)


  4. kindness says:

    Maybe god IS punishing him because:

    1) he’s gay
    2) he reads/views pornography
    3) he’s an adulterer
    4) he believes in idolitry

    Only Pat & god know for sure….

    OMG… are people actually coming out of the ether?
    Are they finally seeing these people for who they really are?
    Maybe there IS hope.

    #6,

    Don’t be silly. I am sure they have found
    someone far worse.


  7. JIMBO says:

    No doubt God approved of the move. It’s his way of saying,
    (with apologies to Michael Jackson) “YOUR BUTT IS MINE!”

    I guess Pat won’t be looking to harass anyone at the pearly gates when his time comes.


  8. Pete Bogs says:

    Robertson’s replacement had better watch out – Pat might call in a Godstrike on him…


  9. Hardy Haberman says:

    You can only spout hatred and wrath so long until people figure out you are not speaking for God, or at least any God you’d want anything to do with.

    Perhaps he needs to do a little reading… like what Jesus preached in the Bible.

  11. Zimzone says:

    Pray for DeLay, Pat…he needs you right now.

    If there is going to be this across-the-dial, round-the clock christian broadcasting-at least make it interesting.Getting rid of Robertson might be the beginning.
