Having personally met Pat Robertson a number of times in pro life political endeavors, I too was at first stunned by his endorsement of Rudy. However, I have decided to withhold judgment until we get a bit further into this election cycle to see if Rudy remains the GOP front runner.
If one is honest with themselves before God, in politics there comes a time when one has to answer the question; whether it is more noble to compromise and at least achieve or effect less ambitious but doable steps toward the ideal of good than it is to uncompromisingly continue to fight for a more perfect ideal or goal which is within the current circumstance largely unachievable.
If in fact the promises Rudy exchanged for Pat’s endorsement ends up in a meaningful way predetermining the sort of judicial nominees Rudy might choose if elected, then Pat’s sacrifice of his reputation with this GOP front runner at this time may well end up playing a far more determinate role in effecting the future of the abortion and homosexual issues religious conservative care about in this country than anything some posturing wind bag running for office might express to them.

Actually, if one is honest with themselves before God, they never sacrifice their morals or principles, especially on issues of Life, not too mention all the other moral issues that Rudy is just flat wrong on.
This conservative Christian will never vote for Rudy, either in the Primary or the General election.
Too much is at stake and Rudy is too much of a liar and a Man who speaks out of both sides of his mouth to be trusted.
This is the same type of deal the GOP setup in California when they had the absolute best candidate in Tom McClintock and push the Liberal RHINO Arnold as the only one who could win.
Look what happened. He did a total 180 and has now become the Girly-Man socialist he always was.
The same pattern exists with Rudy!
Buyer beware, Rudy will kill the conservative movement within the GOP.
