Why did God tell Santorum to run just to watch him lose?

Seems pretty mean hearted

... and you seem pretty retarded.

Sometimes it's not the destination but the journey.

 

[Dr.Drock]

Satan, in a God costume, told Santorum to drop out.

 

[Katzndogz]

Last time he ran, Romney was perceived as too liberal. This time, both Santorum and Gingrich forced Romney further to the right and that's why he started winning.

Good point.

Ah look, not addressing the OP.

So, he doesn't really mean it...but that's ok.

God has a plan for everyone. You may not understand it, but be sure of it.

 

[Intense]

Santorum did his thing. He helped shape focus and debate. He did a Great Job. When it's over, it's over.

The supernaturals love a good practical joke?

He's been educated.

Didn't God tell about 3-4 different GOP candidates to run this year, including Rick Perry and Herman Cain?

Must just be having an off year - happens. Or maybe it's proof that the Mormon God is real.

Who knows.

 

[occupied]

God apparently tells people to do all kinds of futile self-interested things, or maybe that voice is just them looking for a high sounding reason for seeking earthly power.

They all had something to say that we needed to hear and would not have heard if they hadn't run.

In their own way each of the candidates forced the democrats to reveal something about themselves that we wouldn't have seen if that candidate had not run. Romney, himself, benefitted by this contentious race. It forced him to become stronger, more incisive and more decisive. He got much better this time than last time. It was part of the preparation he needed to face obama, who will have ALL the forces of darkness behind him.

Ah, that other supernatural the Christians believe in. It's not much of a pratical joker like the other one is.

God lost interest in Santorum

 

[California Girl]

God might have told him to run, but I suspect He didn't promise Santorum that he'd win.

 

[BreezeWood]

Why did God tell Santorum to run just to watch him lose?

He had not lost yet ... maybe, he should not have said what he could not "finish".

Why did God send his son to be sacrificed in a brutal manner on a cross? When you think of that, it's safe to say, God was not mean to Santorum. This country is being run by a radical left-wing extremist, and the Democrat party has been taken over the most radical of leftists. This country is not yet ready for a Santorum, however; I believe God sent him on a mission to get a message out, so that way when more candidates run, the message won't seem as big of a shock.

In all honesty, none of us can answer why God does what he does, we won't know those anwers until He calls us up to Heaven. As strange as it sounds, I have been praying for Santorum to drop out, because if he loses his home state, he will ruin his political future. I am glad He answered that prayer.

For the limited funding Santorum had, the odds he had to defy, he should be darn proud of what he has accomplished, he went much further than expected, and he got his name back out there. He will have a future in politics. He made the right move.
