The RPW as God

Some liberals are given to complain that the Religious Right claims a monopoly on God. I've tended to agree with them (although they probably go too far), but have never had any proof one way or the other. Well, today I've found some, in the form of the Scott Walker dropout.

From his e-mail, we find that God wanted him to drop out (presumably due to lack of support from the Big Guy):

Early last year, we jumped into the race together after a great deal of prayer. I believe that it was God's will for me to run. After a great deal of prayer during the past week, it is clear that it is God's will for me to step out of the race.

Well, then I popped over to No Runny Eggs, where I found this:

I don’t think I’ve made it much of a secret that I supported Walker in the Republican nomination, and I am sad to see him drop out because of a combination of a lack of money and the RPW (and indeed, the RNC) standard operating procedure to back the least-conservative of multiple candidates at all costs (in the RPW’s case, even pulling the rug out from the conservative should he survive the party bosses’ attempts to rig the primary).

So, it should be clear to anyone who has any ability to reason that God = the Wisconsin Republican Party. QED, yo.
