McClatchy Election 2008 Blog: Pat Robertson Endorses Giuliani
by William Douglas

Citizen Robertson believes a veritable passel of wrong things about God and man, kiddies. Is it any wonder a twice-divorced, baby-killing, gun-grabbing, marriage-destroying, CINO* Repansycan looks like a winner to him?

Influential Christian conservative Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy Giuliani for president Wednesday, boosting the former New York mayor's campaign and further spreading the support of social and religious conservatives among the top-tier Republican candidates.

Robertson announced his selection at a news conference at the National Press Club Wednesday morning.

If, like Pat, you think a leftist CINO Repansycan is the "man" to stop Hitlery and her brownshirted criminals, think again.

"Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered taxes, cut through a welter of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisanship which is so urgently needed in Washington today," Robertson said.

Blah, blah, blah.

Robertson has spoken positively of Giuliani in the past. He praised the ex-mayor when he spoke earlier this year at Regent University, a Virginia college founded by Robertson. In 2005, he called Giuliani "a very dedicated Catholic and he's a great guy."

*Robertson has no idea what a real Catholic is. [I am being unusually charitable here, kiddies.]

Robertson made the assessment despite Giuliani's support for legalized abortion and a personal lifestyle that's resulted in three marriages and two divorces. Giuliani's social policies and personal life have turned off some social and religious conservative leaders and voters. But others, like Robertson, view social concerns as secondary issues in a post-Sept. 11, 2001, world and say Giuliani is their choice for the Republican nomination because he'll be tough on terrorism.

"To me, the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the bloodlust of Islamic terrorists," Robertson said in announcing his endorsement. "Our world faces deadly peril: nuclear armed North Korea and the forboding of nuclear arms in Iran, deadly violence from Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel, the possible overthrow of Pakistan's government, and drawn-out wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Holy crap, Pat. Buy a gun and defend yourself, you pussy. I don't see why babies have to be killed just because you are a coward.

Besides, what makes anyone think The Rude One can fight a war, anyway?

But Robertson's endorsement symbolizes how divided Christian and social conservative leaders and voters are in Campaign 2008. Conservative leaders Paul Weyrich and Bob Jones III recently endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president. Sen Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a former presidential candidate, threw his support to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. And some social/religious conservatives have talked about coming up with a third-party candidate.

Robertson has been [Has been is what he is. - F.G.] a formidable force in religion and politics. He founded the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Christian Coalition. He ran for president in 1988 and finished second in the Iowa cacuses.

But Robertson has also been a lightning rod for controversy, particularly over comments he's made about homosexuality.
