Heard that this morning. I was almost as shocked by that (considering Pat Robertson’s vehement pro-life stand compared to Giuliani’s unclear stand) as I was to find out that Bob Jones (the controversial pastor from Tennessee Temple) is backing Mitt Romney (a mormon.) Bob Jones is the guy that had a conniption about interracial dating/marriage, but he’s now backing someone who belongs to what most people in his line of work would say belongs to a cult? It makes NO sense. And Jay Sekulow was right there with him. Another big surprise to me.
But on the thread topic, as Laura Ingraham said, it seems that Robertson has put power over principles. Sad, actually.
Here is what is so strange... Robertson is loathed by the far left, particularly the anti Christian, pro gay folks. But now, Robertson supports a candidate who has some appeal to that same group of people? Damn, I bet that is one confused group right now. I have faith that many on the religious right will see though this hoax of an endorsement and make up their own minds.
I have a feeling that advertising time isn't the only think Romney's money is buying.
Unclear stand? What's so unclear. You favor Roe vs. Wade as a precedent, you're pro-abortion. You favor the abortion industry by personally giving them $, you're pro-abortion. You favor a judicial bypass for teen-age minors to do an end run around parents, you're pro-abortion. You want to broaden embryonic stem cell research, strike four against the womb.

Amen to this! (And I'm glad you've been among the few to highlight this) Lots of FREEPERS are riled up over this endorsement of Rudy but weren't over the endorsements you mentioned above of a candidate who thinks all us non-LDS church-goers are apostates of the faith, corrupt, and 100% creedally abominable. I mean, imagine if Rudy said that all pro-lifers were corrupt infidels whose beliefs stunk to the highest heaven?
