RUDY CAMPAIGN'S 'BACKER' BLUNDER (listed as backers, but never pledged support)
NY POST ^ | May 1, 2007 | CARL CAMPANILE with Post Wire Services

Posted on 05/01/2007 4:57:37 AM PDT by Liz

Rudy Giuliani has released a list of 125 New Hampshire leaders and activists he claims are backing his candidacy - but a few of them say they never pledged their support. We take our endorsements very seriously," Wendy Stanley Jones, named on the list as a state co-chair of Women for Giuliani, said yesterday. "I wasn't ready to endorse. I'm not sure I will be endorsing......" Others have also complained of being mistakenly included. The Giuliani campaign called it a mix-up........New Hampshire hosts the first-in-the-nation primary.....experts said the race was still wide open. Giuliani is battling for votes with Sen. John McCain, who carried NH in the 2000 GOP primary. Former Mass Gov. Mitt Romney has ties to the Granite State.

Looks like it's Panicsville at Rooty Campaign Central. Rudy's forced to use phonies to advance his political ambitions---trying to make himself look good at the expense of others.

That term "evangelical" as I use it reflects the socially, moral conservative Religious Right pro-life, anto-homosexual agenda movement in most of our churches. It does NOT include the left wing church movement who accept abortion or homosexuality as acceptable. Forgivable, but not acceptable.

I understand. Who were the 'evangelical' supporters that maintained the Clintons popularity at the 2/3rds level throughout their tenure? These evangelicals 'appear' and claim to be the very thing that you describe, and they are in large part still supporting and working for Hillry because they have a doctrine to fulfill.

I don’t know a single Evangelical who either voted for or supported Clinton. And today, I don’t know of any who would say they support Hillary. They are incompatible.

My own experience is the most popular church in my area to be a member of, where their youth groups always led the prayer around the flag pole before high school and where their church always held the baccalaureate ceremony before high school graduation, turns out to be democrats, more specifically Clinton supporters.

I had neighbors that were members and were most proudly pro-life and their life revolved around being against abortion. However, I since have discovered that for some of these members, I will describe it from the top down, candidate Bush was RIGHT on the issues, but because of his speech difficulty was not the right candidate for them to vote for. Al Gore and JFKerry presented a better image as spokesmen for the US. I am not describing nonprofessionals, or rural rednecks either.

I guess I was fortunate to attend church where people were taught right from wrong. Once they accept truth, they have no desire to vote for the liberal Democrat agenda.

I spent the Clinton era trying to figure out who it was that kept their poll numbers outrageously high. I can't describe my disappointment when I discovered the support for the Clintons came from within what I thought to be those of the "religious right".

There is a commonality with a majority in secular religion and many moderate elite 'republicans' regarding the "morals voters". Everyone believes themselves to be 'right' in their religion.

Note how the term 'morals voters' conveniently got used instead of "religious right" when it became politically expedient to foleyize these voters.

I don’t know where you are getting this statistic. During the Clinton years, the religious right was almost non-existent.
They carried a Bible, so I guess that some Christians accepted them on face value. I began working against them during those early years because of the TV programs like “The Clinton Chronicles”.

This is no surprise. Giuliani’s campaign is built entirely upon deceit and ignorance. This is not the first, nor the last, campaign deception that will be exposed.

Reminds me of the Katherine Harris blunders in FL when she was listing anyone and everyone as a supporter.

I just had a thought. Maybe Rooty just got his 'lists' confused:

See, it's easy to confuse your 'lists'.

LOL——priceless Rooty lists. Maybe even:

People in NH who did not attend their son’s graduation.

People in NH married to someone who “forgot” they had another husband.

People in NH who would give their daughter money for an abortion to kill their own grandchild.
