"God" is a registered Republican

[Deb in IA]

In Pennsylvania, ‘God’ is a Republican
But man who signs deity’s name instead of his own may not get to vote

READING, Pa. - One registered Republican won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form.

The man is registered as Paul S. Sewell, Elections Director Deborah M. Olivieri said, but his form is signed "God."

County Solicitor Alan S. Miller said Sewell claims his "God" signature is merely a legal mark like the "X" used by people who are illiterate.

Sewell, 40, said he will be happy to explain. As the owner of a bail enforcement agency, he finds fugitives, he said.

"Whenever I go to arrest somebody, they say, 'Oh, God, give me another chance. Oh, God, let me go. I'll turn myself in tomorrow,'" Sewell said.

He said he thinks his designated mark is legal. "PennDOT accepted it on my driver's license. I have a credit card with it," he said. "It shouldn't be a problem."

Hard to argue with his logic.

I agree with Tigger that it is hard to argue with the logic!

And of course GOD is a REPUBLICAN.

Some people are too irresponsible or just too stupid to vote, drive, or have credit.

I wonder if this idiot ever makes it to Heaven, what will happen when he taps God on the shoulder and says "Excuse me, I believe you are in my chair" ?

And I am sure you know this because?????

because, as a REPUBLICAN myself, I know everything????

No seriously, he tells me he's a REPUBLICAN. I have tea with GOD every day.

...and Jesus was a liberal. I'm not politically affiliated but I heard this discussion once and I actually saw Franklin Graham say that would be true!

I give God (the real one) credit for having a bigger, better sense of humor that you apparently do. If this fellow does arrive in heaven, I imagine he and God will have a good laugh or two over this.

I am from the same county as this "GOD" and I always knew there were a lot of looney bins around here, but this one takes the cake. There was a much longer article in the local paper about this a few days ago. I can't believe that he could get a driver's license using GOD as his name. Really speaks volumes about Penn Dot.

The name on his driver's license isn't God. He just signed it as God. But I would have to agree with you about PennDot!!!

Really speaks volumes about Penn Dot.

Probably didn't even look at the license when he signed it. I think there more interested in taking the WORST picture ever of a person.

God may be a Republican, but Jesus was clearly a Democrat.
