George Bush, as we know, believes that God placed him in this post. It would follow, logically speaking, that a Hillary presidency will also be similarly ordained of God. Not to mention the Bill Clinton presidency of course.
So, why worry. Things are in the hands of the Big Benevolence.
For all your oozing smarm blatham you've actually hit upon an interesting and important point.
I question whether or not God saw to it that W was elected, but if he did then surely he saw to it that Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were elected as well.
Clearly though, any serious notion of God can hardly contain the assertion that he prefers Republicans to Democrats, anymore than he prefers the Indiana Colts to the Chicago Bears.
However he may find an individual US President's strengths or weaknesses accommodating to his plan, and therefore he might work it out so a godless, perverted Democrat would rule the most powerful nation on earth in 2008.
It can be tough to reconcile the idea of God the Father who validates the power of prayer, with the gift of free will.
Of course, godless aetheists (such as yourself) don't face these spiritual dilemmas.
Chances are it's up to us alone.
It won't be Satan that arranges the election of Hilary Clinton, only the stupidity of man.
Good to know though that God's plan is a long term one.
