Didn’t Robertson say that Bush would appoint judges who would overturn Roe? Who’s he kidding?
One-issue voters deserve what they get, and it won’t be the thing they’re voting for.
Hey Pat, I have a bridge I’ll sell you cheap.
I see your point here, and in the wide expanse of American history that may be true, but over the last generation it has not been true with Republicans. Democrats always put people on the court with whom they agree - secular humanist leftists. Republicans tend to put liberals on the court that they were certain were conservatives when they made hte nomination. Bush has done fairly well, though he has given up on a few excellent nominees. But rememebr that the lobbying to keep Bush's appointments conservative has been intense behind the scenes.
Can someone remind me which statement about abortion I'm supposed to believe: the one in the debate where he says Roe v. Wade is bad law and he doesn't personally believe in abortion, but it doesn't matter whether it's overturned or not; the one he supposedly gave Pat Robertson; the one he gave in his speech before NARAL when he was being honored for his undying support of abortion anytime for any reason; the one he gave when he was considering running about NEVER changing his mind about supporting partial-birth abortion; the one he gave after running that maybe he didn't support partial-birth abortion after all; the one where he says that taxpayers must pay for poor women's abortions; or some other one that I've forgotten. Thanks!
I think it is far easier for the 'Rats to pick a secularist and and be CERTAIN that they will stay that way. Republicans have been fooled a bunch of times. However, the point still remains that no president ever has or ever will appoint a Supreme Court justice who they do not BELIEVE agrees with them.
Of course he's got the time factor card there. IMO a better example of his lack of judgement is his Homeland Security recomendation, at a time allegations were being made. While I've no way of knowing what Rudy knew and when, when you've had a long personal and professional relationship like Rudy/Kerick, you should have developed some sense of the individual, thus the recomendation was likely either poor judgement or turning his gaze away, neither recomendations for office.
robertson’s support can be explained with one word... Gold.
Robertson is most concerned about protecting his interest in his liberian gold mine.
(its a camel and needle thing)
How stupid can one be? Rudy appointed liberal/Democrat judges 8 to 1 over Republican/conservatives.
What drugs is Pat taking that allows him to believe that Rudy will suddenly turn conservative?
This is a truly bizarre endorsement. Robertson chooses Rudy based on nothing more than his word on judicial appointments when Rudy’s actual record has been nothing but extremely pro-gay and pro-abortion.
what has rudy have to do with that?
I can’t stand to listen to Hannity anymore. He’s really been a big disappointment.
Anyone who supports Rudy HAS to be either real evil or real stupid. Hannity might have a bit of both working for him.
Hannity has turned into a pom pom waving, skirt wearing RNC spokesman. I used to like him.
2-4-6-8
Who do we appreciate
RINO, RINO
Yay, RINO!!!!
He would support Joseph Stalin (R-Stalingrad) because he has an R next to his name.
That’s fine. At least be honest and tell the world you are a party mouthpiece.
Medical marijuana?
I do not understand why people are so surprised about Pat Robertson. I never took him seriously as Right wing politician or Christian evangelist. Lawyers with Ivy League educations seem to conflict with Christian evangelism. Sons of United States Democrat Senators usually do not grow up to be Conservative politicians. His embrace of Rudy simply reveals what was always there.
I don’t care if Hannity and Colmes both vote for Rudy....
I’m not voting for a queer loving baby killer.
Especially a doofus like Robertson.
It comes as no great shocker to me that someone like Pat Robertson would support a candidate like Giuliani.
Hannity is a boy trying to do a man’s work.
