Bad news--despite the poll numbers, we'll still wake up in November to a Republican Congress. Know why? Our minds are being screwed around with by the devil, and a bunch of Pentecostals in the Republican caucus are in heavy prayer mode against that spirit.
Seriously--as far as I know, there are five Pentecostals in both chambers. In the House, there's Jo Ann Davis (R-VA1), Marilyn Musgrave (R-C04), Tim Johnson (R-IL15) and Todd Tiahrt (R-KS4). In the Senate, there's John Ensign. Except for Johnson, all of them are certified wingnuts with lifetime ACU ratings in the 90s. Musgrave, in fact, is a perfect 100.
I posted what a prayer meeting with Davis, Musgrave and Tiahrt would be like a few months ago--but after finding out Ensign is a Pentecostal as well and seeing Shrub's poll numbers, I thought, "What the heck?" More after the jump.
Davis: Father, we just lift our president to you right now ... you see how the devil has decieved the American people, we come against him right now in Jesus' name, you have no rights in them, this is God's nation ...
Musgrave: Yes, Lord ... you chose President Bush to lead us, now reveal it to this nation and send your angels against those who come against him. (praying in tongues)
Ensign: Lord, I pray for my sister Marilyn, and I thank you for putting it on her heart to protect the institution of marriage ...
Musgrave: Thank you, Jesus ... hallejuah ... (raises hands, blonde hair tilted skyward)
Ensign: ... we just ask that you put that same desire, that same fire, in our colleagues in the House and Senate, bring conviction, and let this amendment pass.
Tiahrt: Even now, Jesus ... stir the hearts of those who want to protect marriage, and give them boldness.
Davis: Yes, Jesus ... praise you, Lord ... (praying in tongues)
Ensign: Lord, you see the lies the media is telling about our party, even though there are Godly men and women on our side ... we just ask that you confound the media in November and allow us to come back with an even bigger majority so we can move your agenda forward. (praying in tongues)
Musgrave: Yes, yes ... and we pray that you take the mealy-mouthness away from our brother in Illinois ... show him that you do not stand in the middle of the road on anything ...
Tiahrt: Yes, Lord, speak to Brother Tim as only you can ... (praying in tongues)
Davis: Light a new fire in him, Lord ...
Tiahrt: And we pray that the gays and lesbians in our chamber be convicted as well, Lord ... show them the sin they're living in ...
Musgrave: Cleanse them even now, Lord ... Satan, you have no rights in them ... we bind you in Jesus' name ...
Davis: Lord, show them that the place in their hearts that their partners are in should be occupied by you ... let them see the real joy in life, what we have ... hallejuah ... glory to your name ...
(all go off in tongues)
