So, what effect will Robertson's endorsement of Guillani be...

if any at all...should we be worried? Obviously, Robertson is trying to prevent the Christian Right from splintering. Will it work?

To PR...

Giuliani has made arrangements with the far right to pose as a moderate on social issues until after the election, when he will have a conversion to their social agenda. Else Robertson would never have endorsed a pro choice, pro gay rights candidate.

to lead us into the "FINAL" battle in the Middle East.

Robertson wants to see the prophecies of the Revelation unfold in his lifetime and we wants a president who will continue the expansion of the war.

Oddly, he sees no hypocrisy in the idea that God needs his fleabag help to make all that happen.

..is a scammer, not a "believer". he profits by manipulating braindead fundies the same way the repuke party does.

I think that he's truly twisted enough to buy into his own "end of days" pshycosis...

Which is his prerogative of course. But also remember, one of the reasons we're not supposed to have religion involved with our government.

part of his "911" strategy, you know. Giuliani shares Bush's messianic delusions of their God-given role in His plan for the "final battle".

Does he own a church? Does it pay taxes?

going to make Robertson's choice look foolish when all of Rudy's skeletons start popping out.
But it makes me very happy. :)

I've been saying to whoever will listen that the Religious Right will rally around Rudy if he is their nominee, particularly if our nominee is Hillary. Robertson sees the writing on the wall. This is all about pragmatism. Robertson and his ilk want a seat at the table. They can read polls like anyone else, and they know that odds are that their nominee will be going up against Hillary Clinton. Robertson knows who has the best chance to beat Hillary, and he's attempting to begin the process of rallying his audience around that cause. Robertson is still influential, though not as much as he was 10-15 years ago. What should be a concern is that other religious conservative leaders will now come out for Rudy because, well, if Pat's for him, why not? I know Dobson has said he won't support Rudy. I firmly believe that he'll relent on that if it's a Rudy-Hillary matchup. Roberston's endorsement will make it just a bit easier for Dobson to do an about face down the road. Once again, we're walking right into it. Hard to believe. I just don't get the Hillary support. How can we risk this?

Walking right into it is exactly what I'm seeing and feeling.

:scared:

In fact, I pray to the gods that Rudy becomes the GOP nominee and that James Dobson goes through with his threat to form a third party for the American Taleban.

Betcha Dobson comes back into the fold late.

is enough to make him radioactive.

I am counting on Dobson taking 18-percent of the Republican vote to his new Taleban Party.

or has become. He's a political conservative before he's a conservative Christian. He'll want a seat at the table, just like Robertson. These guys got into politics so their faith could influence politics. It wasn't long before politics were influencing their faith. I will garuantee you that no third party candidate will get anything more than a sliver of the religious conservative vote.

Like Robertson said?

...

Oh, well, we can hope. :)
