Another goat being divided from the sheep.

Pat committed the unthinkable act of aiding in the murder of millions of babies. He is obvious that he is not a Christian. It's a dispicable act of cowardess and shows where the man's heart truly is. The sanctity of innocent life takes precedence over all other issues in life. I will never support him and i will tell everyone that he does not represent us as Christians. Consider this my sincere and stern admonishment of his irresponsible act of supporting of a baby killer, homosexual life style supporter like the candidate for the presidency he supports.

This just proves what all of the polls are saying. The most important issue our nation faces is national security. When somone like Pat Robertson puts aside his strong feelings on other issues to indorse Rudy, then that just goes to show how strongly the American people feel about it. Come election day, America will do the same.

Pat fell out of bed
and hit his head!
Done some major damage to!!
he sure won't be the same

Thanks for the compliment.

I respectfully responded to a person who responded to one of my posts but CNN censored it. Hey, the only way you can have a lib win the debate, funny.

As if I needed another reason not to vote for Guilliani

Thanks for helping my decision Pat…

Now get back to supporting your buddy Charles Taylor over in Sierra Leonne…

Now im just waiting to see who will get Ted Haggard's endorsement. That guy will get my vote.

That's good stuff Richard. I agree with your statements.

I wish I could be a liberal. I would have been a great democrat voter if the party was the same as the 1960s. I liked their values back then. I know they don't have many values now (or the groups they attract harm their image). I'm not a conservative anymore either in the way it's defined by Republicans. So I guess I'm a commy I don't know. Where do the voters fit in that value social service and God?

I feel sorry for conservatives.

Richard Orlando, FL

evangelicals dont have a conscience. and the trick is the fact that if pat robertsons followers believe the garbage that comes out of his mouth then they are probably dumb enough to vote for whoever he wents them to vote for as well. look this guy pat robertson up on wikepedia this cuy should be in a looney bin for real!!!

Well this certainly puts a new spin on Christianity through out America!

I thought for one to profess himself a Christian one would have to aspire to living life in the Model of Christ.

Where I come from that would reflect living one's life by upholding Christian values ie; truth in all things, Christian morals, and ethics.

I guess the term Christian takes on whatever Characteristics politicians see as fit in Political Campaigns.

This is refreshing, and a wise choice for Robertson to make. Giuliani's positions are not extreme or unreasonable to most people once they are understood, but too many single-issue people seem hoping for something that either can't or shouldn't happen the way they expect it to, making them willing to endorse people they wouldn't otherwise if they were to give it more thought.

Mitt Romney might be a nice enough guy personally, and even be on the side of some of the issues that appeal to such folks — but far too many informed people are going to shy away from him come voting day due to his Mormon affiliation, largely because of the stigma the LDS church carries from its history of racism.

Well, Rudy, you just lost the whatever moderate republicans and conservative-leaning independents you had behind you.

Are we missing something here?? It is sad what people will do to choose political power over the very “morals" they try to portray to others, creating more exasperating examples of conservative hypocrisy. I cannot see how this illogical maneuver will sway real evangelicals from voting their true conscience, which is not for Giuliani.

how can rudy giuliani stand next to a man that said the reason hijackers slammed planes into HIS NY buildings it was punishment from god!!!! how can he even rationalize this??? besides the fact that he is getting crazy christian votes??? this is nuts. this man says is what a punishment from god so that would mean the terrorists were doing gods work. and the terrorists worship ALLAH so i gues what pat robertson is trying to say is not only the terrorist right for what they did but ALLah is the one and true god…..how mr robertsons followers not pick up on that??? there must not be any rational thought in these peoples heads…..

Thank You Richard from West Palm Beach, FL!!! You hit the nail on the head! I am tired of all the hypocrisy. America screams bloody murder over Bill Clinton and his sexual escapades but not a word about Giuliani's background. But as long as Pat Robertson likes him…That's all that matters.

Richard – West Palm Beach, FL

You wrote, "Democrats are not trying to "take away" YOUR money. They are telling you that you need to pay YOUR BILLS for the wild expenditures of Bush. Can you comprehend the impact caused by Bush increasing our national debt by FIFTY PERCENT from $6 trillion to $9 trillion? Don't you think you should have to pay for what it has bought YOU so far (good or bad)? Do you find it MORAL in any way to avoid this debt and pass it on to future generations? Is your value system such that you agree with Bush that the Clintons, Kennedys, Kerrys, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates are paying too much in taxes and you and the poor should pay more to make up the difference?"

Richard, your explanation is flawed. You suggest we should "pay our bills" of wild expenditures. What you FAIL to realize…. Hillary isn't looking to tax us more to pay down the debt (once we finish in Afghanistan/Iraq) excess revenues will go to retiring the debt automatically. What HILLARY & Co want to do is create MORE spending on new social programs: Baby Bonds, SCHIP to $83k, Universal Healthcare, Amnesty for Illegals, etc.

Hillary thinks the American Taxpayer is an open check-book for her pet projects.

No thank you.

Doug, New Jersey

hahahahaha thats funny…the best part about that post was the end "we all know bush was a bad president but…." but what!?!??! the evil democrats are going to try and trick us into what exactly? i mean what did the republicans do in the last 7 years that we have to be happy about? how can you look at anything bush did as acceptable enough not to switch parties!?!? hahaha a bad president? that is the biggest understatement i have ever heard. bush was the worst president in US history period. him and his republicans took the lead and they failed miserably and not only did they fail but they did it on purpose!!! they do these horrible things because they know that there is a big part of america that believes everything they are fed….that no matter how hypocritical no matter how much they ruin our country they know that a CONSUMER SOCIETY is an easily led society. and with a couple of lights and whistles they can keep the mob entertained. you are putting down the democrats but they have not even BEEN in power for the past 7 years and if you think i country is in good shape you must be watching fox news on a regular basis. its so funny that fox news acts like they are the truth and EVERY SINGLE other publication and new programs are just lying!!! lol and people believe it. like every piece of news is under control of the EVIL democrats EXCEPT fox. even though fox supports the most corrupted administration in a century. just look at the bills bush passes for christs sake!!!! look at our health care our economy our debt!!!!! when bill clinton was the president we were actually doing pretty good! and the repubs paid MILLIONS on a case of oral sex. if there is any party that is determined to gain power why dont you take a look at the party that is SPENDING THE MOST OF OUR MONEY!!!!

The only people left in the republican party are irrational and paranoid. The lunatic fringe.

Richard, West Palm Beach, FL

great post

I am very disappoined by Pat Robertson's endorcement!

Mike Huckabee!
Mike Huckabee!
Mike Huckabee!

I prefer Mike Huckabee to every candidate we've had in the last 30 years, including Ronald Reagan. He's incredibly wise!
Like a modern day King Solomon. He sees to the heart of a matter, and make is so clear and simple. A very uncomplicated, honest, sincere hearted man. He is the man to heal the wounds of our contry, and get us working together, and out of the deep political messes we are in.

He personnifies Common Sense,
something we lost long ago and is SO UNCOMMON nowadays! Go on the internet and check him out.

Mike Huckabee!
Mike Huckabee!
Mike Huckabee!

Giuliani, No comment enough said, this is as far as he goes.
God told me to vote for Ron Paul I cannot go against what the good lord has said.
Vote RON PAUL 2008
And God will Bless us all

ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE SLOGAN OF THE AMERICAN NAZI PARTY OF THE 1920′S AND 1930′S WAS?….."VALUES"…WOW

I'm just pinching my backside in anticipation of Rudy's first "Come to Jesus" speech on campaign trail!

Robertson's endorsement of Giuliani is no mystery. The belief Robertson holds to most steadfastly is the Second Coming of Christ. He is endorsing a reactionary, Islamophobic megalomaniac, the candidate he feels is most likely to hasten Armageddon.

Looks like Pat Robertson's 700 Club is down to $6.66.

Pat also secretly endorses Huckabee for VP. Go Republicans. 16 more years.

In your opinion will ultra conservative Christian Right Pat Robertson's surprise endorsement of Rudy Giuliani help or hurt?

It is just a frienship commitment guys. These two guys are both members of Mason. That someday will turn out as anti-christ.

WATCH OUT GUYS!!!

PAT ROBERTSON'S SECRECT IS GRADUALLY REVEALED.
SINCE THE TIME HE DEPARTED SOUTHERN BAPTIST, THAT WAS THE FIRST MOVE THAT HE CANNOT REALLY STAND THE SPIRITUAL AND GODLY BELIEFS OF THE SBs.

ANOTHER ONE, HE HAS BEEN KNOWN AS ONE OF THE MASONRY THAT ONE DAY WILL TURN OUT AS ANTI-CHRIST.

THIRD, THIS DISGUSTING SUPPORT TO PRO-ABORTION, GAY MARRIAGE CANDIDATE.

WATCH OUT!! WATCH OUT!!!

THE DEVIL COULD NO LONGER RESIST BY JUST DESGUISING, HE REALLY WANT TO GET OUT FROM HIS BOX SINCE GOD IS NOW TRYING TO PUT A GODLY MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

OUR BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD.

Doug, New Jersey:

I applaud you for your honesty about Bush and respect your sincerity. Republicans and Democrats are not as far apart as you may think. Democrats especially value free speech and that is why they are so angry every time Bush fires or defames anyone who opposes his administration. It doesn't matter if they are career people like Richard Clarke or Joe Wilson or military heroes like John Kerry, John Murtha, or Max Cleland. The Bush administration has no qualms about trashing anyone who criticizes them.

Liberals support freedom of religion, but that means FREEDOM for whatever religious system you have. It means TRUE freedom where no one tells them what they have to believe. NO DEMOCRAT EVER says you shouldn't have the right to practice your particular religion in your homes, places of worship, or private lives anyway you want. If they show that respect for your convictions, why can't you show that same respect for those who are every bit as convinced that their different views of religion and life are right? Why must you impose your brand of religion in public places? Whatever became of the Golden Rule? If your brand of religion is so fragile that it collapses because a 10-second prayer is omitted at school each day, then you need to look at yourselves and your religious leaders and start pointing fingers for the abysmal failures.

Democrats have grave concerns about freedom and Bush's abuses of our Constitution. It was created to clearly have checks and balances and Bush has consistently refused any efforts to check up on what he is doing. He steadfastly refuses to let any of his people put their hands on the Bible he supports and swear to tell the truth.

Democrats are not trying to "take away" YOUR money. They are telling you that you need to pay YOUR BILLS for the wild expenditures of Bush. Can you comprehend the impact caused by Bush increasing our national debt by FIFTY PERCENT from $6 trillion to $9 trillion? Don't you think you should have to pay for what it has bought YOU so far (good or bad)? Do you find it MORAL in any way to avoid this debt and pass it on to future generations? Is your value system such that you agree with Bush that the Clintons, Kennedys, Kerrys, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates are paying too much in taxes and you and the poor should pay more to make up the difference?

Liberals are fed up with a president who won't listen to them and frequently brags about "not paying any attention to polls". That is why we don't have expanded health care for children although 75% of the PEOPLE support it.

Finally, Democrats are angry about the monumental sexual hypocrisy they hear. Republicans came in being indignant about Bill Clinton's affair and promised that their "family values" were much better than the Democrats. Instead we got Mark Foley, Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, Henry Hyde, Bob Allen, "Duke" Cunningham, Rudy Giuliani, Richard Curtis, Larry Craig, etc.

There are many problems with both parties, but there is no reason for paranoia about Democrats trying to take away our right, freedom and our money like Bush has done.

these so call christian that talk about gay poeple is the devil, the right to live here their top christian leader endorse the devil,
what a world,

Jenette,

God did tell my heart whom to support. I searched and searched (both online and inside myself). God wants me to support Ron Paul.

You're right about asking God whom to vote for. You'll get a strong feeling inside for whom is the righteous.

Jenette, Peoria, IL

look who is talking about childish games…..do you really believ god has ANYTHING to do with who is in office? because if he CHOSE george bush he is definetely not THAT divine!!!! and what about richard nixon? or SADDAM HUSSEIN?? or did the devil do that? how do you decide what the devil did and what god did? in other peoples eyes our government is evil in our eyes they are evil how can you judge that we are on the side of right, that god is deciding who rules our country but pretty much doesnt care about the "brown" countries? i guess he just doesnt love the middle east and africa as much as america huh? i TRULY believe if god cared that i fasted or prayed he might also answer the countless people in africa that HAVE to fast because they are starving and STILL pray for a better life. but i guess we are better then them huh? its obvious because we have more money right? god is not making our decisions god is not involved in politics in any way and anyone who thinks different is only putting this country is a worse and worse position every year. we just had THE MOST religious aministration in the history of the US and it was a miserable failure. no matter what people that dont want to admit they were wrong think……look at the stats look at the facts and remember there are HUMAN BEINGS involved in these wars. "insurgents" arent the only ones that are dying and im sure plenty of "insurgents" arent even "insurgents" dont act like we are the good guys just because we have more money it is foolish

This is a time for all good Americans to come together and save our nation from the evil that is today's liberal Democrats.

Everyone who values free speech, freedom of religion, and a America where each and every citizen controls their own destiny needs to come together to defend the America we know and love.

Liberal democrats are going to try to take away our rights, freedom, and our money. It is time for good to come together to defeat evil.

Please take the time to read the comments on this board and all over the net from liberal Democrats to see them for who they truly are. If an ounce of goodness or decency is in your heart, you will see the threat they are and want to make sure that such hateful, angry, partisan, and deceitful people don't get the power needed to execute their plans. We all know Bush has been a bad President, don’t let that fact lead you into supporting the people who want to make this county a Karl Marx dreamland. Thank you.

Doug,

Your sermon was full of the standard Repub talk….FEAR. George Bush and his Repub allies have done more to deminish our freedonm of speech and freedom of religion and our moral standing in the world than any administration in the history of this country. For example, the Patriot Act, using FISA to spy on innocent Americans, Guantanamo Bay, water boarding (torture). NEED I SAY MORE???

Jenett from Peoria, please spare us your fantasy world. The election will not be decided by mythological deities.

After reading all of this garbage, you prophetic wanna-be's and those who chose to stand in judgement of others, since apparently God went to lunch and left you all in charge, I just want to know how many of you have truly sought the face of God in this election; has he told you who to vote for or are you just going to vote according to what looks 'good'.
Did it not even occur to any of you that Almighty God who is in control of ALL things is also going to be in control of who is placed in the White House next year? Do you not believe that God himself can change the hearts and minds of men for the good? How do you know that Pat Robertson has or has not heard from the Lord. I believe in the sovereignty of my God and trust that if I do my part (prayer & fasting)
He will hear and respond. Meanwhile I believe that as a nation we need to pull together and stop this absolutely childish game of judging situations and individuals. If you are who you want the world to think you are then start by growing up and acting like the "Bride of Christ". Remember, if it were not for the blood of Jesus, there would be no hope for any of us.

Pat is thinking whoever can beat Hillary, I'm choosing that guy. Rudy is "that" guy, so why not choose him. Actually, he's trying to bring the religious conservatives together in order to beat Queen Hillary.

Doug from NJ, were you being facetious or do you just have a single-digit IQ?

Wayne, Greenville TX

GREAT POST WAYNE!!!!!!!

joseph, austin, tx

you know what the difference between the dems and the repubs is the fact that, yea, dems dont mind the views of code pink and move on because they are just MAD WITH THE current administration of corruption in the white house to be honest MORE people should be ENRAGED!!!! and the repubs are just for big business and fake religious politics real and TRUE and BLANTANT corruption using the religious right for votes because they know they are the most impressionable people in the country!!!! and the american people dont approve the senate because the war is still going on and the problem is the american people dont REEARCH anything. that fact that the dems still dont have enough votes capable of stopping the war. so now george ush is trying to move the blame of this war from himself onto congress. congress is just behind the money and they have of choice of cutting off supplies for troops in battle. and bush is definetely asking for more then what they need but hes not going to change his bid and the dems are stuck in a checkmate move…..its so crazy that the american people will look at moveon.org and codepink as a worse threat then big corporations and religious fanatics. america is lost and i truly hope it finds its way. someone in this blog said "lets give giuliani a try and if he messes up he wont have another term." see that is the problem we dont realize the impact of a presidency because it is not DIRECTLY effecting us this very second. like its ok to give a bad president 4 years because we can just change him after…..god save america PLEASE!!!! poor people voting for big business and they dont even know it!!! the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didnt exist!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking as a life-long "religious" (though I hate that term), evangelical, conservative man, I can say this about Pat Robertson and his endorsement:

It means absolutely nothing to me. Pat Robertson and his comments have no relevance to me or my faith, whether he's endorsing a president, or claiming he has a word from God about Hugo Chavez, etc. He is no more a leader to me than the grocer down the street at the supermarket. I have much more respect for men like Rick Warren and Billy Graham, who stand up for truth but also show grace in their actions and words.

Is that as good as a Brownback?

This is the guy who agreed with evangelical activist Jerry Falwell that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People For the American Way." Then after public outcry regarding the dialog, which was conducted via television monitor and took place only days after the attacks, Robertson claimed that his earpiece was malfunctioning, and that he was unaware of what he was agreeing with at the time.

Whatever, Pat!

Rudy, give back this endorsement! Both of you do not share the same values! Where is the integrity? What a shame…

This is a time for all good Americans to come together and save our nation from the evil that is today's liberal Democrats.

Everyone who values free speech, freedom of religion, and a America where each and every citizen controls their own destiny needs to come together to defend the America we know and love.

Liberal democrats are going to try to take away our rights, freedom, and our money. It is time for good to come together to defeat evil.

Pat Robertson, who says he can steer hurricanes and leg lift 650 pounds MORE than our top athletes, is now supporting the biblical equivalent of Bill Clinton when it comes to sexual morality. There are numerous statements in the Bible similar to – Matthew 10:11 which says “And He said to them whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her".

Rudy Giuliani is perfect for the Republican Party. More than any other candidate, he symbolizes the incredible sexual morals hypocrisy of his party.

————————————–
————————————–
“Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
– George W. Bush,President 09/06/04

Barf!

How can ANY Christian support ANY candidate that supports an unjustified war that has killed 650,000+ Iraqis and almost 4000 US soldiers PLUS a candidate that favors EXPANDED war with Iran that will kill countless more innocent people? This is a war for oil it's not protecting America. If anything it's inciting more hatred toward America and not just from "Islamic Extremists" but the whole world. This is absolutely disgusting and all Christians who supposedly love the Prince of Peace – Jesus Christ should be sick to their stomachs right now.

Henry Tucker, calls "Bill Clinton a sexual predator."

Hey Henry, he's not a "predator," and he at least prefers women, in contrast to a large chunk of the Republican congress. Bill and Hillary are still married, unlike Rudy who changes wives as often as his shorts. What will Rudy do with America when he finds a new love? I suppose you feel fickled leaders and closet homosexual lawmakers are preferable. What a moron.

As long as crackpots like Robertson are relevant to many voters, this country will not move forward. Reason, not Talibanic religious dictates, must govern our society.

Isn't endorsing Rudy essentially suicide for fear of death by Robertson (in fear of a Clinton presidency)?

It would seem so if one wasn't aware of Pat's economic interests. His estimated worth is over 200 million dollars.

This is the same man who supported a Liberian warlord and human rights violator because he had millions at stake in a contract with their government…the same man who used donations from viewers to transport diamond-mining capital instead of the refugees the viewers were concerned for.

The man is a fraud with connections, nothing more. This isn't the first time he's compromised his "values", it's just another addition to the laundry list of hypocritical actions. Another "Christian" leader betraying the trust of those who truly believe.

Hillary staffers are giving each other high-fives over this. The only thing Rudy has going with mainstream America is that he's not an ultra-right zealot. Now he doesnt' even have that. He has lost independent voters with this bonehead move.

Well goodness me. Fancy that!! All you poor Republicans that spew all your hatred comments regarding anything on the ticker concerning Obama are now upset because normal people are pointing out the hypocracy of the religious right and their so-called moral values. They are a joke and endorsing someone who is against everything that they supposedly stand for proves it.

I didn't know Robertson had converted his intolerance, and now supports gays and abortion rights. Good for you, Pat. (wink, wink)

Why is it every time a story about a Republican or a Christian comes on the ticker there are so many spiteful comments? All I see is the same old liberal name-calling– "fanatics", "fascists", "right-wing haters"… I'm a Christian and find it repulsive and irritating to hear you juvelniles rant about how "intolerant" Christians are. The simple fact is Christians typically give more of their hard-earned money to needy people than secularists and for the most part are good, decent people. The hateful things I see on the ticker prove that many liberals are just as "intolerant" as they claim Christians are, if not worse because they name-call without backing up any of their claims! I can't wait to see how many of you adolescents spew your angst toward me now that I have said this… and hopefully CNN doesn't remove my posting like they did last night regarding the Cheney impeachment article!

Posted By Brad, from the great state of Texas : November 7, 2007 1:50 pm

You're known by the company you keep, Brad. And from the KKK to the Army of God, and from Concerned Women for America to the Christian Coalition, the USA is filled with Christians who are fanatical, fascist, right-wing haters. And they give ALL Christians a bad name.

We'd be much better off if all those Christians would stop the hate and start acting more Christ-like, as they profess to do.

Just another perfect example of separation of church and state. Oh wait……

What this actually is is a perfect example that a vote for any of the Republican candidates is a vote for the same type G.W. Bush mess that we have had to endure for too long.

Posted By John, : November 7, 2007 1:05 pm

I can only assume you are a dem. Why was it ok for barack to attend a southern baptist revival, but Giuliani gets endorsed(like he had any control over it) by pat robertson and NOW its a problem with separation of church and state.

Rudy Giuliani is a traitor, any one that promoted sanctuary to illegal aliens and betray the trust of the people that elected him is nothing more than a traitor.

Robertson endorsing Giuliani sounds very convoluted and will probably be reversed. I wouldn't lose any sleep over these two survivors of prostat cancer.

Do you think lightening will be striking the Robertson home soon? Surely selling your soul and principles for an election would warrant such a response from the Man upstairs.

Oh my gosh. It is reported Americans are tired of partisan politics but look who is acting partisan….Americans. The hate going back and forth between librals or dems and repubs is crazy. Both parties have their place and the foundations of both are needed and should be discussed and debated but not all this extra crap. Hate is all I see on here. Hate towards anyone that is not like you or does not agree with you. Hate towards intolerance while being intolerant. Hypocrisy in our government but in our people as well. It makes me sad.

Well, thats the nail in the coffin for deluded republican voters who still claim to have the party of values. Methinks its funny how fast the republican "values" can be thrown out if they dont think they can win. How many wives has Rudy had? What are his stances on gun control and abortion? Wake up people, "conservatives" want power not values.

Very funny that the man behind the funding of Bin Laden that praised the attack of 911 would now support the mayor who presided of it. I guess Pat's partner Charles Taylor intends to keep quiet about their involvement in funneling those diamonds to Bin Laden. Did Pat give you a big rock for your last engagement gift? Anybody that doesn't know,needs to check out Pat's real business in Liberia. Diamond mining and terrorism are the link between Robertson and Bin Laden. Rudy you're a fool for taking such an "undorsement".

What a scum bag! Lord knows I don't share the same values as Mr. Robertson, but I at least respected him for staying true to himself. The only reason why he would endorse a man who has flipped on crucial social issues is to win. This man has completely abandoned his ethics for the sake of winning, again what a SCUM BAG!

Another reason not to vote for Rudy.

p.s. Robertson's endorsement just lost Rudy the Republican nomination. I can see evangelical Christians rallying behind another candidate like McClain and/or Huckabee or just turning their backs on all the candidates. Thanks, Pat for making a little more easier for a Democrat to take the White House.

UNBELIEVABLE! I am so angry and disgusted by this I am ready to pull my hair out! How on Earth can Robertson support a foul, disgusting, hateful, crooked man like Rudolph Giuliani? I have forgiven Robertson for some of his ridiculous comments in the past, but this has finally set me off! NEVER will I EVER support Robertson or Giuliani. I am done with you Robertson!

WOW! I am not Republican and I am shocked! Robertson endorsing Guiliani, I never saw that one coming. I would have thought Robertson would have endorsed Huckabee (a fellow man of the faith).

This just goes to show you that even high powered evangelical leaders will sell out their morals and values.

Brad-giving money to the needy doesn't mean you aren't an intolerant bigot masquerading as a Christian. Accusing others of namecalling while engaging in that very activity yourself, by the way, is blatant hypocrisy, which I've come to expect from "Christians" like you.

Giuliani needs Robertson's endorsement like he needs a hole in the head. This will only give Giuliani more appeal to the wingnuts and alienate his core constituency. At least maybe John McCain will come to his senses and realize he doesn't have to sell out to the religious kooks anymore, unless he's still trying to get James Dobson's endorsement too.

Why is it people who profess to call themselves Christians like "Brad from the great state of Texas" come on this forum and start namecalling? Real Christians are people who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who most importantly taught us to "judge not, lest ye be judged". Think about that one for a while Brad…if you can.

This goes to Brad.
"I'm a Christian and find it repulsive and irritating to hear you juvelniles rant about how "intolerant" Christians are"

I can't speak for anyone other than myself. I too am a Christian, been so all my life. Most Christians are tolerant of those who believe differently then they. On the Otherhand, there are THOSE so called Christians that preach, "Do as-I say, not as I do." That THEY are above everyone else, that is, until they show their true colors and that is where their so-called beliefs, rears its ugly head and bits them in the butt.

This just in:

Rudy gets divorced again.

Gets endorsement from the Pope

Oh how UNSURPRISING. I posted either the 1st or 2nd comment to this dumb story and now comment has been erased from the ledger by the CNN.COM censors.

As I said PREVIOUSLY, his endorsement for Rudy is a joke and I take it with a grain of salt. Rudy is one of the most liberal candidates in the field as of now and a total Fake Conservative.

HHmmm, I wonder if this comment is gonna be up more then 5 minutes if AT ALL. You censor freaks.

Christians in this nation are either misled, or plainly STUPID. But then,it all depends on how you define the word "Christian". If Bush is regarded as "born-again", nothing else that follows should surprise you.

Who is suprised, some of these so called evangelist are such hypocrites!

Most don't practice what they preach, because they are the most judgemental people you ever wanted to meet, and God's word is crystal clear about judging.

I feel sorry for Giuliani. What candidate in their right mind would want the endorsement of a hypocritical diamond smuggling religious fanatic who blames gays and liberals for every bad thing that happens in this country?

This endorsement will only marginalize Rudy even more than he's managed to marginalize himself. It will probably cost him the GOP nomination as well but that's irrelevant because not a single Republican candidate in the current field stands a chance of being elected anyway. The only possible good to come out of this is that maybe John McCain will stop trying to suck up to the evangelical pseudochrisitan hatemongers.

Brad, we liberals do not call all evangelical Christians right-wingers or fascists, just the ones who want to impose their theology on the nation and control the personal lives of all their fellow citizens.
And I would not call Robertson a fascist. He is just a quack.

Is it just me or is this endorsement just highlighting the split among social conservative voters?

He'll surge because of this endorsement.

Posted By Sean C, Raleigh NC : November 7, 2007 1:50 pm

Yep..just like an electrical power surge–his itty bitty breaker will pop, and his lights will not just be dimmer–they'll be out. Everyone in my reasonably conservative neighborhood thinks Pat is a little nuts. His endorsement only applies in Virginia, relatives, and a few GOP who haven't read the papers.

Dear Brad from Texas,

Please don't presume that Christian = Conservative. Frankly, as a very liberal Christian I find it offensive when fundamentalists like you (and Pat Robertson) espouse that the only way to believe in God (and, apparently, the only way to vote) is in accordance with your political and religious points of view.

While I do find it sad that liberals are bashing Christians on this blog, there are many Christians who have certainly given them plenty of legitimate reasons to bash us.

The fraud endorses the fascist!

When will evangelical Christians learn that the Republicans play them for saps election after election?

An EXTREMELY laughable pair indeed….
PATHETIC…

This is to Roger from Conway, SC…….you are absolutely the dumbest person ever. Your comment has nothing to do with this article, and everything about it is just completely stupid and false. 1) MOST top republicans DID ask Craig to resign, and he didnt. 2) How about when democrats do bad things….and other democrats don't ask them to resign. Does that make Democrats hypocrits? Like when leading Presidential candidates have staff members that are openly hateful bigots, and nothing is done about it? Or when powerful US SENATORS are known to have killed innocent women by drunk driving….and gotten away with it…..shouldnt he be asked to resign? Let alone face jail time? YOU are the hypocrit….get it right.

Another thing that both of them share, both are S.O.B.'s!

Hey Brad,
we're not dumping on Christians who live by the values of peace, love, hope and charity (which hopefully applies to you), but when a so-called Christian leader spreads words of intolerance against other faiths, and uses his pulpit for political ambition and monetary wealth, then we rightly can say that he is right-winger, and open to criticism.

Matthew 4:8-11

Again, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

November 7, 2007

Again, Guiliani took the Christian right to a very high mountain and showed them the White House and its splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and endorse me."

The Christian right said to him, "As long as you can beat Hillary Clinton! For it is written by shrewd politicians: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'"

Then the Guiliani accepted their endorsement, and GOP staffers came and attended them.

I am glad he has done this – even the average casual Christian has more discernment than this phony Mason. Dr. Ron Paul has been espousing true Christian principles of "just weights and measures" in our financial system, "just war" and "the golden" in our foreign affairs, and the basic principles of Christian liberty, that government and law are only to protect our God-given rights of life and liberty and property to pursue liberty, wisdom, virtue, and happiness in service. Hopefully the Christians will see these phonies for what they are and rise up and support the Champion of the Constitution, Dr. Ron Paul!!

Now this is a meaningful endorsement. Southern states and moderate Christians will add to the voting totals for Rudy Giuilani. He's now going to pull ahead of the pack ; and he really knows what he' s doing out on the campaign trail. He'll surge because of this endorsement.

Why is it every time a story about a Republican or a Christian comes on the ticker there are so many spiteful comments? All I see is the same old liberal name-calling– "fanatics", "fascists", "right-wing haters"… I'm a Christian and find it repulsive and irritating to hear you juvelniles rant about how "intolerant" Christians are. The simple fact is Christians typically give more of their hard-earned money to needy people than secularists and for the most part are good, decent people. The hateful things I see on the ticker prove that many liberals are just as "intolerant" as they claim Christians are, if not worse because they name-call without backing up any of their claims! I can't wait to see how many of you adolescents spew your angst toward me now that I have said this… and hopefully CNN doesn't remove my posting like they did last night regarding the Cheney impeachment article!

So much for Guiliani being a moderate. I wish CNN and others would stop reporting that he supports abortion rights and gay rights. He doesn't. He doesn't thik gays and abortion doctors should be executed, but that doesn't make him a lefty on those issues.

Giuliani isn't pro-abortion (is anyone really pro-abortion?) but he is for free choice in America. There's your difference between the highly regulated liberal ideal with more rules and regulations at ever turn, and the "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" attiude of Giuliani.

Your choice.

I like your righteous indignation people. Just proves the major point – American evangelists supports certain economic interests while using religious rhetoric to rally their electoral base. Rudy Giuliani supports the same economic interests. So, it is not surprising at all that Pat Robertson endorses a like-minded candidate. I do understand how abortion and so-called "values" could be an issues for some but in a "real-politic" world these "values" are very much subservient to economic and power interests of those who order the music (and provides donations)

Is this good or bad for Rudy?

The mayor of New York who once took on the Vatican regarding abortion has now gained Pat Robertson's support? How does this make any sense. Rudy is not a President Christian evangelicals should be supporting. He supports abortion is unacceptable, and for Pat Robertson to use his sway with Christian voters is appalling.

Rudy is the closest to the perfect candidate for Republicans, with his good solid background of crime-fighting, budget management and economic expertise. He lowered taxes several times over his terms in NYC. If he fulfills 75 percent of my criteria for a President, that' s all most people can ask for.

If I were Giuliani, I wouldn't be too proud of this endorsement. The only thing it ensures is that the blind sheep that make up the Conservative Christian Movement will now blindly follow him.

My question to the Conservative Christian Movement would be: where is your judgement now? Giuliani has been divorced twice – both times in order to marry his mistresses. So, now this is ok?

What this tells me is that the Conservative Christian Movement is not judgemental because they're sticking to their values and morals. They're judgemental when it is convenient and when it will get them what they want.

One loser endorses anothre loser. Dumb and dumber.

This is religious hypocrisy at its worst. Pat Robertson's endorsement of Rudy goes against everything that his 700 Club stands for. Robertson obviously does not represent the true evangelical movement in this country. While it is unclear what he stands to gain from putting his stamp of approval on a pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun candidate like Guiliani, one thing is certain. Robertson's overall stature and influence in the Christian conservative movement is radically diminished. If Rudy is the GOP nominee, real evangelicals will NOT go to the polls and hold their nose as they vote for him. Better they sit out 2008…possibly giving Hillary or Obama and the Dems the White House then reemerge in 2012 supporting one of their own. Just as Pat Robertson has become Judas to the cause, Rudy Guiliani is the socially liberal left wolf pretending to be just one of the flock. What would Jerry Falwell do?

Anyone who would take Pat Robertson serious, or better yet actually donate money to the man, should re-evaluate their definition of morality.

Robertson liken the Democratic Congress, mass media, and homosexuals to the Nazi extermination of the Jews. I'm no fan of the Democratic Congress but last I checked they weren't having people rounded up in concentration camps.

Robertson warned Florida that is Disneyworld held their annual "gay days" that God would bring about terrorist bombings, hurricanes, earthquakes, and possibly a meteor. None of which happened of course.

Robertson warned that the feminist agenda is an anti-family movement which encourages women to leave their husbands, practice witchcraft, and become lesbians. He also went on to say, like it or not, when a woman gets married she has to accept that the man is the head of the wife and family. That's the way it is, period.

And the clincher of them all is when Pat Robertson said Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution, "He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" This statement prompted Israel to cut all ties with Robertson regarding the building of a Christian heritage center along the Sea of Galilee.

Pat Robertson is the walking definition of a moron. He presses this point home every time he opens his mouth.

Robertson just lost any credibility that he might have had. Endorsing Rudy is like making a deal with the devil…

Congratulations, Mayor Giuliani. You're easily on your way to the nomination !

Pat Robertson is a hate mongor. Period.

Gay rights will move ahead in this country like it or not – this is only more proof. Its about time.

Now I've seen it all….. the globalists have a new team player on their side. Its a sad day in America!

your crazy you lost your moral stand.you sold out

Hilarious – You have the GOP candidates bending over backwards to be more conservative than the next and then you have Robertson picking a would be winner. It is all about POWER – I think the evangelicals would figure that out by now. It is all about politics as usual. The left right and middle lose with this current system we have now. Learn about the issues and vote what you believe – not what people tell (or Sell) you.

HUHHH???? Talk about the odd couple. Just goes to show the state of the GOP. Lost and confused, desperate and willing to compromise anything for the sake of friendships and power. Independent party, here I come!

"prophet Stan" is off his medication again and roaming free.
When will this country get back to separation of church and state? Pat lovers should be ashamed.

How long are we going let Guilliani get away with posing as a moderate? He isn't … not even close. His foreign policy advisory team is a collection of strong neocons … the same happy chicken hawks that brought us the war in Iraq … led by an advocate of bombing Iran … now. On the social issues, he gets credit for being pro-choice while has committed to the Religious Right that he would appoint "strict contructionist" Supreme Court judges … code words for the repeal of Roe v. Wade … and has said that he would be OK with that repeal. Extremists like Pat Robertson do not support moderates. If you are a moderate, be afraid of Gulliani.

Pat Robertson claims to be a man of God, but he is nothing more than a liar and a religious zealout.
Pat, the times that you claim that God talks to you or answers your prayers is not God, but the opposite.
The way you use your electronic pulpit to spread your words of intolerance and fear to feed your ego requires that we check you out for the mark of the beast.
Rudy, good luck with having Pat on your team. We can only pray that a day will come that the endorsements of these right-wing lunatics will no longer be required.

Monte Brown, New York, NY

"The Republican Party has become a pit of slippery snakes with poison venom"
and how are the dems any better they are in bed with code pinkeye and the moveoners, these people have just as much hate in their hearts, for people who dont think like them. Both extreme right and left would do a great service to this country when they realize they dont represent anyone who isnt associated with them. Be objectionable both the dems and repubs make up the lowest rated congress in US history, and you cant trust any of them, not even your girl billary.

This will only hurt Giuliani in the general election, can't he see that?

Probably not, he was an autocrat in New York and will be one in D.C., ask someone like me who was in NY when he was mayor, what a scam.

Giulliani is going to destroy the Republican party, because he'll expose how worthless Christian right is when it comes to their morals, and the rank and file Christians will stay home and stop supporting the sell outs.

CNN is looking to hire – blog monitor. Qualifications:

- Liberal
- Supports Hillary
- Lazy
- Inconsistent in performance
- Unconcerned about fake posts
- Poor grammar, spelling in posted articles
- Indifferent to supporting a service (blog) offered by CNN to the public.
- Hairy Chimps considered

If Pat Robertson is not concerned about his soul, he really should consider his reputation.

Move along, nothing to see here. crackpot endorses another crackpot. these so-called front runners in both parties leave much to be desired.

Gee, what a shock: Hatemeister Pat Robertson is a total hypocrite, endorsing a pro-choice candidate.

Goodbye, American religious right-wing. We ain't sorry to see you go.

Some of these comments are so ugly and full of hatred. I'm not a fan of Pat Robertson, who has said many foolish things and whose perspectives I don't share. I'm a Protestant, just not his variety. But, please don't meet him with hatred. We need to come together as Americans to face the challenges before us. If he can overcome some of his prejudices to support someone who differs with him on many things, this is something. It is also something we should all try to practice as we elect a president who will not be 100% of what each of us want. Let's not divide this country further. Let's have a little charity, a bit more mutual respect, and try to work with whoever is elected, even if we didn't vote for that person.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Just another perfect example of separation of church and state. Oh wait……

What this actually is is a perfect example that a vote for any of the Republican candidates is a vote for the same type G.W. Bush mess that we have had to endure for too long.

And I care why? Christian Zionist supporting a horrible candidate?? No more wars for Israel!!!!

Big WHOOP.Pat Robertson and his ilk are irrevelevant today and every day.This will mean less votes for Giuliani,not more.How stupid can people be to listen to the garbage these so called ministers spew?Jerry Falwell is now roasting in the pit of hell for what he preached,mainly hate.

Ron Paul is a true Christian. He should have endorsed him instead.

Oh, this is rich! Pat Robertson can be likened to the Taliban with his views – nuts to say the least. If Guiliani had any brains, he would've run for the hills with this endorsement. Then again, what else can one expect from religious radicals?

A religious scum bag endorsing a corporate idiot. Why is this even news?

The only reason why Robertson is backing Rudy is for one thing and one thing only: Rudy can beat Hillary. No other GOP candidate can.

WatchingHillary.com

How can a christian leader support someone who believes abortion is OK? I'm shocked.

Am I late to the Attack-Pat Party?

I jus can't wait to here yall say awful things about Pat and Christians. Of course the funniest part is… most of yall liberals "pile on" religious leaders for not being more pious yet yall are dead-set on supporting a candidate (Hillary) whose husband is a sexual predator.

It's like Larry Flynt up in arms because Laura Bush wore a knee-length dress.

…And the so-called "leader" of the religious right just sold his soul to the devil. How can anyone back this man?

Pat Robertson is a liar as well as a hypocrite. He's not endorsing Guiliani because he claims he's a friend. He's endorsing him because he's the frontrunner right now. No fundementalist like him would ever endorse a person like Mitt Romney, who if he is a good practicing Latter-Day Saint would have better moral standing and character than most politicians. And he wouldn't endorse any of the other Republican candidates because they're not popular enough. And let's get one thing straight, P. Harvey from Kansas, Mormons are NOT cultists! You should get to know them a little better and search the RIGHT sources, as everyone should. But I digress. Pat Robertson, and people like him, gives all religious people a bad name, and it makes me very sad.

Hillary is the anti-Christ. Did you really think Pat was going to vote for her??

Pat Robertson is a morally corrupt man who should leave the church immediately. He uses Christianity as a political tool to sustain his power. Does anyone remember 8 years ago when he lambasted McCain for his moral stance… and now he finds it conveniant to support Giulliani an extremely corrupt individual.

What can be said that hasn't already regarding the devil himself…Pat Robertson….HYPOCRITE par excellance!!!!!! The very same man (Robertson) who's life is dedicated to fight against the evil left and the imoral abortionists now endorses the mayor of 911? The pro-abortion mayor of 911?…This is perfect..it lends credence to the weakness of any/all republican candidates…except, of course, for Ron Paul!!!! The devil belongs in Hell…so does Pat!!!!!

THANK YOU Pat Robertson.

Thank you for proving Conservative Christians can be pragmatic, not so narrow-minded to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Conservatives can differ but still vote for Guiliani. Give Rudy a chance to show his conservative values in Washington DC. However, let Rudy know it is a temporary permission slip. Should he decide to abandon the values we DO share – it will be a one-term opportunity.

Pat Robertson is a moron and a sellout. Giuliani can keep his crappy endorsements. Im voting for Ron Paul.

HOW CONVENIENT! This alliance will generate endless "rationales" for all future heat-waves, floods, hurricanes, etc…, oh yeah, and WARS.
The most dangerous sins of mankind include arrogance, self-rightousness and the misuse of religous and political authority over others in to subvert individual thought and behavior.
Each individual is given the gift of free thought. People like Pat and Rudy spend their lives figuring out how to steal this gift from as many people as possible. IGNORE THEM!

Unbelievable! How can you endorse a man with Giuliani’s marital background and his position on abortion? I will immediately be canceling my CBN monthly donation and redirecting funds to a morally conservative Christian organization.

Posted By Marie,Virginia Beach,Va. : November 7, 2007 12:08 pm

No such thing. In order to truly follow Jesus' teachings, you have to be a liberal.

It looks like Robertson is more strongly against Mormons than he is against abortion and gay marriage.

There is nothing religious about the "religious right" and nothing Christian about the "Christian Coalition." They are all about access to power.
Let's try going back to the wisdom of our founding fathers–keep religion out of politics and maintain strict separation of Church and State. Otherwise both are corrupted.

Pat Robertson endorsing someone who has had a penchant for marital infidelity AND dressing in drag?
I guess it all depends on what the definition of "values" is…..

nothing like having a humble christian man as a supporter….i wonder how much giuliani paid?

Did we really need another reason not to vote for Giuliani?

First of all, this will only be detrimental to Giuliani in the general election.

Second, Robertson and other conservatives shouldn't be sacrificing their values in order to make an attempt at electoral victory.

Robertson's endorsing Guiliani.

So what? Robertson has no credibility in my opinion and his "endorsement" is no more or no less valuable than anyone else's. Why does it matter who he endorses?

CBN has always been the more liberal thinktank of the GOP anyways. There are far more good Christian Conservative organizations out there.

As far as Mrs. Clinton goes, there should be no worry. As we all know, the forgetful pot smoking Democrats never make it to the election polls, or they are too busy on their Internets, so any GOP candidate will win. We should, as the Conservative Christian majority of this nation, be looking for a real conservative to vote for.

There is a draft movement for Vice President Cheney to run. I hope that is successful. We need to defeat the Godless Terrorists, and he seems the only one with the intellegence and gumption to do it.

Why is this such big deal when Romney has already received several of these endorsements? CNN is so biased towards Gulianni becasue they want him to win the GOP nomination and then Hillary can stomp all over him. Romney is the only one that can stand up to her and they know it.

With so many genuine christians and conservatives running, who could use an endorsement by leaders in the pro-life movement, I find it incredibly discouraging that Robertson chose the one pro-abortion republican to support. This is truly a sad day and proof that the moral majority is no longer moral nor a majority. I only hope Dobson holds firm in his rightful condemnation of Guiliani as an opportunist who is only trying to further his political ambitions. Vote Huckabee '08 — he's the only light in this pathetic crowd of connivers.

Hasn't Rudy been tossed out by his wives about 6 times now. Maybe he will be at a bakers dozen once the presidential election rolls around. Why doesn't Reverend Satan support someone who has actually stayed married, perhaps Hillary…

I really hope all the people that watch Pat don't fall for this. This coming on the heels of Brownbacks support for McCain. How interesting. It's also on the heels of a government review of evangelists expenses and fleecing of donations. If anything, this shows that Giuliani supports 23k toilet seats with money that should of gone to the poor.

I don't fall for TV religion, but we need to reach out to our elders and grandparents and tell them the truth and to not fall for false promises from the synagogue of evangelisim.

And "prophet stan?", you should speak in clear English if you have a point to make. Babbling won't help your cause at all. I hope you are speaking from full knowledge and truth when you open your mouth as well.

Who cares who Pat Robertson endorses?

Dear Pat Robertson,

Posted By Mike,Downers Grove,IL : November 7, 2007 11:05 am

Dear God:

Actually, Jerry Falwell's down here with me. He's sharing a room with D. James Kennedy, and I've already reserved space for Pat Robertson, Gary Bauer, and James Dobson.

Yours truly,
Satan

Is has been clear for some time now, to all but the least educated among us, that the social conservatism espoused by the majority of the Republican party:

1) Takes a back seat to Neocon Fascist Empire-building.

2) A grand lie used to dupe a group of voters who only care what a politician says, not what they do or how they live.

Its the Neocon Brotherhood. Whether you are a fundamentalist Christian fanatic, or a cross-dressing, divorce-happy mayor who failed his people in their time of need.

The only reason Giuliani is being so propped up is that the party thinks he can win New York, and thus, the general election. It'll never happen.

If the Republican party wants any power going forward, they must turn their backs on Neoconservatism on become true Republican Conservatives once again.

I can't believe Robertson would do this. I am under the impression he was coerced. Robertson clearly understands the challenges facing America's sovereignty and the new world order pushers so naturally I would expect him to support Dr. Paul. The good doctor is also the most principled person running for president.

What is Robertson's motivation for doing this?

Hey, Rudy, You just managed to lose my vote!!

As a graduate of Regent I am DISGUSTED!! I want all the readers to know that Dr. Robertson and almost all of the schools faculty would bring in anti-abortionists that said 911 was the work of God because America is allowing abortions. They also justified killing abortion doctors. This is a school that taught us in Family Law that when a couple comes to us as attorney's for a divorce we ought to minister to them and discourage them from getting a divorce. AND they were TOTALLY against homosexuality. They compared the Clinton's to devils for their socially liberal views so….I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SUPPORTING GIULIANI!!! I mean this is hypocracy to another level I am disgusted!

GREAT, one VAMPIRE endorses another one.

If Giuliani wins the presidency by some evil miracle, I'm wearing a cross and a garlic necklace.

I really hope all the people that watch Pat don't fall for this. This coming on the heels of Brownbacks support for McCain. How interesting. It's also on the heels of a government review of evangelists expenses and fleecing of donations. If anything, this shows that Giuliani supports 23k toilet seats with money that should of gone to the poor.

I don't fall for TV religion, but we need to reach out to our elders and grandparents and tell them the truth and to not fall for false promises from the synagogue of evangelisim.

I am one of your 700 Club members giving to you. Pat where is your head at? you can not play both sides of the fence. Right is right and wrong is wrong! I will pray for you to see the light and GOD TO GUIDE YOU .

This is the perfect match. Pat Robertson wants Armageddon and Giuliani is the man to bring it.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time! So much for your values, Pat!

I admit, I am quite surprised by Mr. Robertson's endorsement, as well. After all, by all standards of the most traditional Christian conservatives, Giuliani is a huge failure. On marriage number 3, and estranged from his children due to their suggested lack of parenting skills, and personal ethics and inability to forgive and do the right thing for his family. Now, I am certainly not against the former mayor, but the Bible says "Charity begins at home." That means love. It is a shame that he wants to lead the entire free world, but can't get his home life in order. It sounds like there needs to be more personal sacrifice on his part to move forward in that area. And is it also possible that Pat Robertson now wants us to do something that we should have all been doing all along…? That is getting all of the info you can on the candidates, prayerfully and carefully weighing it all out, and then voting according to your heart and mind, for whom you feel is the best one for the job. Previously it sounded like we all should have just supported the former Pastor, Huckabee, and left it at that. It will be interesting to see what other Christians think of Pat Robertsons' move.

how fitting! a man who wants gays to burn in hell endorses a candidate who once dressed in drag on SNL. HAHAH

Guilliani thinks this endorsement is good , he thinks he will then get the neo evangelicas to his side

WRONG !

Great – two guys who don't stand for anything but thier own selfish pursuit of power

Yet another reason not to vote for Giuliani.

Unbelievable! How can you endorse a man with Giuliani’s marital background and his position on abortion? I will immediately be canceling my CBN monthly donation and redirecting funds to a morally conservative Christian organization.

Is it just me, or does Rudy look very similar to the Crypt Keeper? I could care less about Pat Robertson…..he's just as crooked as the politican he supports.

Just for the sake of accuracy, folks, it's morals and moral values. has nothing to do with morale.

As far as Robertson, I don't think he has much credibility left after some of his recent faux-pas'. I really don't believe he's gonna bring a lot of votes to Guiliani with this endorsement.

Mike,Downers Grove,IL:

I have to tell you, I think your post is one of the best I've ever read on the ticker. Very creative. You rock man!!

As far as Robertson goes, do people still listen to this hate filled windbag? If he is a good example of a Christian, I am so happy not to be one. Too bad the politicos feel that need to court this despicable person.

Giuliani is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and Pat Robertson is the leader of the self-righteous indignant hypocrite reactionaries. The two of them know darn well that although Giuliani says that he is pro-choice, if given the opportunity to appoint Supreme Court Justices he will pick reactionaries who will reverse Roe v. Wade. Pat Robertson is not a man of God. Pat Robertson is a plain hater and a charlatan and he sees Giuliani’s election as killing two birds with one stone. Giuliani can put on a pro-choice mask, but he is not pro-choice. Why would a religious fanatic even get involved with politics if his underlying intentions were not disingenuous?

Giuliani’s endorsement by Pat Robertson just proves that American should not trust the Republicans at all. The Republican Party has become a pit of slippery snakes with poison venom. Pat Robertson is just going with who he believes will beat Hillary. This is one endorsement that I am not worried about at all because the ideology of Christian conservatives and right wing haters will not dominate this election. Pat Robertson can shoot his chops all he wants.

Bret, did Pat Robertson even have a soul to begin with?

GOD BLESS PAT ROBERTSON AND RUDY GIULIANI HERE THE WORD OF GOD TWO LOSER BECAUSE OF NO LOVE AND ARE SELFISH MEN WHO NEED TO BE LOOK UP TO FROM THE WORLD POINT BUT GOD SAID THEY LOVE THE WORLD MORE THEN HIM JESUS 1ST JOHN 215.NOW WATCH GOD WORK.

To sell your soul for a win….that is what is wrong with Social Conservatives…..no integrity at all

Dear Pat Robertson,
Now that I have Jerry Falwell, you are next.

I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing. Rev. Robertson endorsing a pro-abortionist.

God save us, next Rev. Dobson will endorse the cultist Romney and all we have worked for will have been undone.

A long plane ride to Israel? Maybe Rudy can get Pat back in on the Christian development next to the Sea of Galilee. That is, if praying with Israeli PM Ehud Olmert last summer while Lebanese Christians were under attack didn't do the trick.

Well, that pretty much brings Giuliani's political career to an end. Like an awful lot of people, I want nothing to do with ANY candidate endorsed by nutjob Robertson.

This time it's Pat Robertson who needs to repent. Guiliani does not share the values of evengelical Christians, and there should be no compromise on the part of Christian leaders. Disliking the Democrats doesn't justify compromising with someone like Guiliani.

Mr. Robertson might as well have handed the country over to Satan himself. Be prepared for the Good Lord to bring rapture after the November 2008 elections. He will not stand by as his country is given to heathens and savages, whether they be the adulterers or the Mormons.

Well, at least Dobson still hates Giuliani, right?

I am confident that Giuliani will be the next president…I'm a moderate Republican…and having endorsements from the far right….isn't a good thing…

The hatemongering Christian fascists will support any one with a (R) after their name.
They are not a religion but an arm of the GOP.

With Pat Roberston's endorsement I am certain all the lemmings, er evangelicals, will flock to support and vote for Rudy. I guess all the other Republican presidential hopefuls can go home now.

Too bad Roberston picked a candidate who has nothing more to offer than, "I was mayor of New York City on 9-11″ and "I'm the only Republican that can beat Hillary."

Disgusting. I don't know why Christians think this war is at all justified or ethical. Dare we coin a new term: Christo-facsism?

If Robertson truly believes in the hatred and intolerance he spreads, then he should have endorsed Romney.

If I were Giuliani, I ask Robertson to take his endorsement back!

This wont help Giulianis' chances, It will hurt him among non pat fans.

Fundamentalists like Pat Robertson make me sick to my stomach.

Bad news for Hillary, real bad news……

Pat Robertson is an old loon whose endorsement means nothing. Anyone still listening to him is seriously out of touch with America.

Good Luck with that. I don't think America is going to make the same mistake three times by electing an evangelical christian as president. Sorry but the evangelical crowd has displayed nothing but hate and vile. I will be so relieved to see this crowd of hypocrites and loons shoved to the back of the room.

Great news! This will kill Rudy's candidacy among educated independents and make the Democrat a shoe-in!

Rejoice! More hypocrisy from the so-called "Christian" right, Hallelujah! Uncle Pat is endorsing a known adulterer, working on his third marriage, who has a poor relationship with his children! Not to mention the fact that he is pro-choice on abortion and was one of the most fiscally irresponsible mayors of New York. After all the sanctimonious flatulence passed by Robertson, Falwell, Dobson and the like (especially during Bill Clinton's administration) I DO NOT EVER AGAIN want to hear any "born-again" lectures on family values.

Wow, Robertson just made it that much easier for everyone to know who not to vote for. Anything Robertson supports, the opposite is usually true. I wonder if the plane that their friendship bloomed on was one of Robertson's private planes bought with funds from ripping off suckers stupid enough to donate their $$ to his organization…err Robertson family bank account.

OMG…..If Rudy wasn't DOA before, he darn sure is now………Thanks, Pat.
Do you Hillary Clinton promise to faithfully execute the office, blah,blah.

Giuliani was married to his second wife when he got his girlfriend pregnant. He got an abortion for her. Then he married her.

Robertson's support of Giuliani makes Robertson one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

Once again, Pat Robertson dislpays his hypocrisy by endorsing Rudy, a friend of abortion and gay rights. Mr. Robertson may be a Christian in his own mind (personally, I think Jesus would side with the sodomites and un-wed mothers among other oppressed people), but he sells out his own professed beliefs with this endorsement. How does his flock feel about that? Or do they follow that blindly?

There is a political motive behind this…as with everything he does.

i think i would rather have the endorsement of castro, chavez, and bin ladin. they are not as fanatical as robertson

Interesting. We'll see if the sheep do indeed follow the shepherd now I guess– even when the shepherd is making backroom/boardroom deals.

Robertson's support of Guiliani is an indication of him being out of touch with mainstream Christians. Toughness on crime and fiscal conservatism are important, however virtues such as reconciliation and compassion are more relevant today with unrest in the middle east and Dharfur. Prior to 9/11 Mr. Guiliani has used police-state tactics on the citizens of New York City and has a checkered past as it relates to protecting individual's civil liberties. We would do well to thoroughly scrutinize Mr. Guiliani's approach to addressing the complex issues of global terrorism, diplomacy and the socio-economic future of this great nation. As a fellow Christian, I embrace Mr. Robertson as a brother, however I suspect that many other believers (myself included) will choose to differenciate themselves from his view on this matter.

Wow. And up to this point I thought Guiliani was running as a moderate candidate. But if you think about it, its makes sense: moderate voices from both sides have stopped winning primary elections a long time ago.

Thank goodness REVEREND Pat Robertson came out to endorse a spiritu-, I mean a political candidate. I had almost forgotten about him. He hasn't said much since his call to have Hugo Chavez assassinated.

I don't remember reading about how Jesus endorsed any of the Pharisees, Sadducees, or Roman politicians.

If politicians actually behaved like followers of Christ, like they say they do, they wouldn't need Pat Robertson to lead people to their party.

Heinrich Himmler endorses Hitler. These guys are anachronisms, and anybody who really knows Christ would run from them.

I agree WB!!!! Let's keep our Christian leaders and pastors in prayer!

What a Joke. Is Pat Robertson even a Conservative anymore? Is he that easily corrupted that he would toss out his Own values just to support a media propped up candidate like Rudy Guiliani who is as Liberal a candidate there ever was. Needless to say, I take his endorsement with a grain of salt and couldn't care less. I'm for Ron Paul, the only True conservative Republican.

So I guess abortion is not really that big of a deal for Mr. Robertson. What is happening to the party that stands for "life"? REAL Christians cannot vote for Rudy, so that pretty much sums up what kind of Christian Mr.Robertson is!

This guy supported war with Israel and Hezzborah…I don't trust him.. He can endorse politicians with whoever he want but will loose to Obama anyway!

I cannot believe that someone with such strong christian views would endorse out of all the candidates Guiliani???

The married 3x's, even to his own cousin, crossdresser. What is this world coming too???
Vote for someone with some morals. Vote Dr. Ron Paul.

This is proof that Republicans are only intersted in winning and that their claimed Christian morals are a lie! I am a Christian and I am a Democrat. I can't wait to hear how my "Conservative Christian" friends defend their nominee.

Mr. Robertson has morals?

We shared a plane ride and we are both cancer survivors—are these the standards now for picking the most important job in the country? Isn't this the same man who said the US deserved 9/11 and wasn't Rudy mayor then? Isn't this the man who keeps saying things he has to come out and apologize for the next day? So everything Robertson has always stood for is no longer important because of a plane ride and surviving cancer?

Is this a shock? The Republicans are continuing to prove that they are not the party of morals, but the party filled with opportunists and wavering convictions under the name of their God.

This should come as a surprise to no one. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and both are fundamentally dishonest, self-serving zealots and blowhards!

Giuliani is great for Conservative Christian values, after all, he married his cousin and had an affair when he was married to his second wife.

This is ridiculous. Pat Robertson does not speak for the Christian community. If he did, he would not be endorsing any of the current candidates.

I did have some confidence in Pat Robertson, but now I don't know.

Whoa!! How'd that happen?

But I still think Brownback's endorsement of McCain is bigger.

This only shows that there is one person out there with even fewer principles than Rudy Giuliani — and that would be Pat Robertson. This also shows that for the rabid right, values really mean nothing. It's simply about power. No wonder the GOP is thick with the likes of Tom Foley, Larry Craig and Tom DeLay.

Good, hopefully being associated with this nutjob will torpedo Giuliani's chances in the general election. Sad that most of the country doesn't realize what a prat he is.

Shame on you Pat.

Giuliani over Hillary. The lesser of two evils..

Well, This proves that Hillary is the Devil, once and for all.

So, it's not about morals and family values after all. Just what is it about anyway? I am so disappointed in Pat Robertson that I won't watch him show anymore. Never again.

These guys have Huckabee, who represents the views they supposedly espouse, but they prefer to back someone who they think will win.

This shows that Robertson and his crowd are much more interested in power than values. Since the whole reason for their public personas is supposedly based on principles and values, this rather undercuts any reason to listen to them, doesn't it?

I am, as a Christian, so glad to see the influence of Robertson and his kind diminishing. They are an embarrassment with their power and influence grubbing. IMO, they cannot leave public discourse too soon.

Can anyone say "Jack Abramoff?" Or "Ralph Reed?" Where were their apologies for misleading their followers who fund their pontificating? All they did was whine about how they were mistreated and misunderstood, just like Hillary after her last debate. And frankly, there is very little to differentiate Robertson from Hillary, especially now that she's endorsed her Republican clone.

Mr. Roberson, I am disappointed with your decision to support someone who refuses to protect the unborn child. Shame on you!

Wow! I must say that this comes as a really big surprise!

the endorsement is a clear conflict with this man's moral standing. it represents the confusing pathway the Republicans are walking that will lead to the victory of Hillary or Obama. Yay!

An endorsement from Robertson is like the kiss of death.

I would be running from this "endorsement".

When did he get morals and values? he's in it for the money that the sheeple give him.

Good for Rudy Giuliani.
This backing should help him alot.
Good for Robertson, the Cristian Coalition will appear less of a cult.
Roberts can sense a winning race horse when he sees one.

So is he backing Giuliani because…

A) He wants to back the candidate he thinks is going to win.

or

B) A crusade against Muslims has topped abortion and gay marriage as the top issue and he thinks Giuliani is most likely to invade Muslim countries.

or

C) He's actually such a sleazeball that he would totally compromise his insane principles just to back a friend.

I would say it's the other way around.

I don't know which one has been shortchanged by this alliance. Rudy is a bad bet for America's integrity. (What little we have left)
Robertson's claims, or reputation among the gullible, of morality are baseless. Thinking people want self determination. Not life as dictated by Christians who are anything but Christ like.
I'm beginning to think that Ron Paul will have my support. In spite of the unlikely prospect that he will succeed. At least he espouses common sense and fairness with every individual citizens in mind.

So, let me see, the reason why religious conservatives hate President Clinton is that he was a womanizing unfaithful husband? Ummmmm.So, Pat Robertson endorses "what kind of man" for president. Go figger!

I do not agree with Robertson's social positions, but even I can see that he's selling out here. Further evidence that politicos will ride with the perceived front runner no matter what. Where is individual character? Only Ron Paul seems to consistently stick to his stated positions.

Who would've known?

Hillary Clinton has accomplished something amazing- she has united a right-wing christian zealot and the pro-choice pro-gay NY mayor.

..and she's uniting every other faction of the Republican party.

In 2004, the GOP screamed "gay marriage" as a tool for victory.

Now all they need to say is "Hillary Clinton."

Robertson's endorsement of Giuliani exposes these so called Christians for what they are, power hungry hypocrites. They have obviously been seduced by the prospect of power, money and influence. The two cornerstones of the Conservative Christian political agenda, anti-abortion rights and anti-Gay marriage have been sold out to the highest bidder. Robertson must be drunk with the prospect of coming back into the limelight.

I'm shocked and disappointed as a christian and as someone who has actually watched Robertson's 700 club. Robertson has lost credibility to me. I will continue to follow the word of God but not the word of "a man of God." Such a man is still a man and corruptible.

Pat Robertson sells soul to devil, endorses Fascist hatemongering "liberal conservative." A sad day for Robertson and his family, indeed.

LOL!!! You just lost all your credibility Pat Robertson. Apparently, you sold out to the special interests that fund you and Washington. You are toast buddy!

Look at the face on him – he looks like
a crazed chipmunk about to bite someone.
Drunk with power…

Pat's kooky….I truly don't believe that he's much of a Christian.

Ha!!! I love it, this just shows how pathetic the Republican party and the religious right have become.

The best Christians are in the pews. Christian leadership, especially the evangelical leadership, is shot through with incompetence, corruption, and delusion. Evangelicals are eager to believe someone who says that God talks to him. Many evangelical ministers hear voices, I believe, but not from God. Just from their own minds, telling them what they thing God would probably say. All religions have people who say they hear the gods or God, not just Christianity.

Robertson smiles a lot, but the things he says are not nice and they are not funny. A few examples of Mr. Robertson's statements follow:

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."

"How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?"

"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore."

"They say vouchers would spell
the end of public schools in America. To which we say 'So what?'
For all we've been getting for our tax dollars out of the public
schools, they should have disappeared years ago."

""You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them."

Mr. Robertson would be dangerous if he were competent.

Shame on you Mr. Robertson! How can one say he is a Christian and endorse a man running for President of the United States that has the opposite values pertaining to life and morals?

The last thing that Pat has is morals. He has not been a Christian for a long time. He is simply a politcal tool that would sell his mother for power….hence, his support for Rudy. Rudy is for ALMOST EVERYTHING that Pat says he is for. Once again, Pat shows his "true" colors. He believes Kristians is spelled with a "K". Shame on him!

Not for a friendship, I think, but for the reality that Guiliani is likely the only republican candidate who would stand a chance in the general election.

I am incredibly disappointed in Pat Robertson's decision to endorse Giuliani. Robertson seems more concerned with a GOP-er defeating the Dems than he is with supporting a GOP candidate whose stances on ALL issues are unapologetically biblical, like Mike Huckabee. The only good I see coming out of this is causing Christ-followers to realize that God does not have a political affiliation and start doing the research to make their own informed decision. Robertson is NOT the mouthpiece of God.

who does this hurt I would guess Fred thompson and Mitt?

This confirms my personal feelings that the religious right will support/vote for anyone willing & crooked enough to spit out their extremest views. Regardless of the candidates morale values. EXAMPLES Senator Craig & Vitter…if they were DEMS the right wingers would be demanding that they resign…GOP=HYPOCRITES

Are you kidding me? How can a Christian leader endorse a candidate whose social policy is the complete opposite of Christ's teachings? My opinion of Robertson just fell enormously.

Rudy means 911.

I am surprised! I would have figured Mike Huckabee!

Who cares what Pat Robertson thinks? How is his opinion newsworthy?

Well there is a good reason not to vote for Rudy..Anything Robertson likes has to be utterly corrupt and sleazy. I wouldnt want an
endorsement from anyone that deals in war diamonds,props up murderous African dictators and personally profits from all of it. Robertson is
a crackpot and really should be in
jail,not on T.V. shilling energy drinks,spouting biblical nonsense
and definately not endorsing
political candidates as the head of
non-profit religious institutions.
I hope Senator Grassley sees this
story and starts investigating this
this televangelist con artist too..

Another reason not to vote for Guiliani!!!

Mr. Robertson – You need to READ the BIBLE – what ever happened to "christian moral values…?" Read the Paul letters -The Ten Commandments? adultery, thou shall not kill? abortion, and on and on…something like we know the "tree by its fruits?"

A match made in heaven! Why…given all of Rudy's utterly crazed neocon war monger 'advisors'…the demented Pat Robertson must logically believe that the answer to his hopes and prayers concerning Armageddon are effectively embodied by his 'chosen'candidate! When he's not in drag of course…God help us all.

Dear Pat Robertson,

Now that I have Jerry Fawell, you're next.

Sincerely,
God

Yet another reason NOT to vote for Rudolph.

It's amazing that the endorsement of a lunatic like Robertson can actually help someones campaign.

LET'S SEE,TWO FAILED MARRIAGES,CAUGHT CHEATING ON HIS WIFE,AN THIS GUY GET'S AN ENDORSEMENT FROM PAT ROBINSON,WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL.THIS MAN IS NOT WHAT THE REPUBICAN'S ARE ALL ABOUT.HE PARADES WITH GAY RIGHT GROUPS AN IS FOR ABORTION.WHAT WILL ROBINSON GET OUT OF THIS DEAL?

Why doesn't he list the reasoning behind his support. That would be interesting!

Isn't Pat Robertson the man who urged his followers to pray that a certain Supreme Court Justice would be stricken with cancer? It is only fitting that one hypocrite endorses another.

To me this doesn't mean anything then Pat robertson just wanting to vote republican and choosing the leading man Rudy Guilliani . They already told everybody they want to go with the winner and not the loser .

Guilliani's liberal views already pissed a bunch of people of , This will hardly make a difference

He might win the nomination to go as far as to win the white house , not a chance

They are both nuts!

This is great news. The most important issue facing this country is national security. All other issues, including social issues where conservatives typically part ways with Giuliani, are meaningless if we don't protect first and foremost the security of our homeland. Pat Robertson obviously recognizes this fact, and his endorsement will go a long way to getting conservatives to join moderates and independents to support Giuliani and defeat the disastrous policies and positions espoused by the other side of the isle. Way to go, Pat, and on to the White House, Rudy!

All we can say is wow! this proves that Pat and my rep party are not as moral as they claim to be! I would never endorse a guy who had been married 3 times to be the leader of my country and the example to my kids and grand kids.

I wish I could be optimistic about this. The lead fanatic in the US. Robertsons's behavior is little better than the gumba islamic fanatics. Transplant him to Iran: translate his rhetoric, fanatical positions, outrageous predications–then how would he be perceived. I know he is a sincere man, and has done many good things, for thousands of people–but I find him a little scary and somewhat unstable as a public figure. My 2 cents.

Giuliani is a joke.

HAHAHA! The Chaucerian fraud Pat Robertson endorces pro-gay pro-choice pro-war Republican! Excellent! Dems will win for SURE now!

Pat Robertson is finally showing the true nature of his character. As a conservative televangelist he has been a driving force in transforming the Republican Party into the party for Christian Evangelicals and their values. Yet, when it comes down to winning an election, he is willing to endorse a candidate who is pro-choice on abortion and supports expanding civil rights for gays….yet is perceived as ellectable. Pat is willing to conveniently toss away his religious convictions for political expediency. It exposes both his political and theological hypocrisy.

Who cares of a christian who is so much pro war….He can endorse who he want but will loose to Obama anyway!!!

HEY! GUESS WHAT!

I don't know.

OH! NOW I REMEMBER…CAPITULATED INTO BIGDEBT! POOF!

Mr Robertson you are compromising your morales and values as a christian for a so called friendship.
