Electoral College Tie Could Put Pelosi in White House"
that would be the sign of the rapture

I ate curry for dinner last night.
My neighbor's dumbass dog is barking at nothing again.
A song by Rhianna is playing on the radio.
The mail truck is three houses down from mine right now.
All of those things are signs of the Rapture to you people too!
*sad sigh*
The Electoral College DOES NOT work that way!!
Actually, in the event of a tie in the EC (this has happened before, BTW) the vote goes to the House of Representatives.
Ergo, while Ms. Pelosi would certainly have a say in the outcome in such a case, she'd hardly be able to vote herself into the Executive Mansion.
What isn't a sign of the Rapture to you idiots?
"A bird is singing in a tree? Obviously the Rapture is soon!"
"Your Spaghetti-O's spelled out 'Ooooo'? The Rapture is nigh!"
"Common sense and decency are eroding our bronze-age myths and ideologies?! JESUS IS COMING SOON!"
What the hell has the Rapture got to do with the politics of the US? About as much as the fact that my cat is sitting in a tree right now to catch birds, and she won't come down when called.
I marvel as the capacity of the RR crowd to self-delude.
The only way Majority Leader/Speaker Pelosi could become president, is if something happened to the Pres. and Vice Pres. that would keep them from their duties. (in Bush's case, that would mean him not being on vacation)
She is third in line.
Of course she could always run for the office.
I just had such a laugh; imagine the mass explosion of fundie-heads if Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, or Al Gore ever became President...

OMG! My Spaghetti-Os did that just last night!!
And my Cheerios did that this morning!!!
I'd better put on my best Sunday clothes for the Rapture. Don't wanna spend eternity in a T-shirt and Jeans, you know!

To paraphrase The Return of the Mummy ...
Jacques: This ... is a sign of the rapture.
Red: What is it with you and rapture signs?
Spivey: He ain't happy without a good rapturous omen.
[mockingly]
Spivey: This is a sign of the rapture. That is a sign of the rapture.
Now that would be fascinating... due to its impossibility. The House of Representatives would not side step Obama and McCain to elect Pelosi.
The President AND Vice President would have to be impeached, killed, or otherwise unable to fulfill duties in order for Pelosi to take charge.
THAT'S why Obama/Biden need to win. With the Dems taking back the White House, they'll instantly fuck over the fundies who are making up religious "reasons" as to why Obama is the Antichrist.
Let's not forget that Obama being black, Biden being Catholic and Pelosi being Pelosi, it's safe to say that nothing is happening to Obama as President.
This goes at the end of a loooong list of things that BuzzardHut and his gang of fruitloops see as signs of the rapture, along with:
- Trains going by
- Fluffy clouds being less fluffy today
- Winter
- Car horns
- I Kissed a Girl
- The voices in their heads
- High fuel prices
- The prospect of socialised health care
- Gun laws
-Gay people demanding rights
-Prayer being taken out of schools (ie: no longer mandatory)
-Evolution being taught in Biology classrooms
-Snow (really. All things considered, though, does this surprise anyone?)
-Global Warming
-Environmentalism
-CHRISCHUN PERSEKYUSHUN! (ie: people don't want your religion forced down their throat)
-Losing a filling in one's teeth
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
