Rick Perry is one of a long line of politicians out there who have stated that they talked to God, and that God has told them to run for President. That being the case, I have a rather short and simple proposal for Governor Perry.
Tell God to tell the rest of us to vote for you. When God tells us directly, via the same channel you had to him, that we should vote for you, then and only then should we actually vote for you.
And no, you cannot simply walk up behind people, fake a deep voice and go "VOTE FOR RICK PERRY." Nor should you be so dishonest as to fake a choir of angels singing. Nobody buys somebody going "Ahhhhh" in a falsetto voice anyways. Harps are right out. So, instead of going out on the campaign trail, you should lock yourself in a closet and pray to the lord almighty to tell everybody to vote for you. Be sure to pray real hard. If you simply tell everybody God said you should be President, then nobody can be sure. Only a voice from the heavens from God himself should be able to tell people you're supposed to be their candidate, and our next President.
