The big news today is that Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President. (Well, I guess technically for the GOP nomination, but is there really any difference? I mean Hell would have to freeze over - to a depth of several kilometers - before Robertson would ever endorse a Democrat.) Now this is the thrice-married, twice-divorced, estranged-from-his-children, abortion-"rights"-defending, embryonic-stem-cell-research-supporting Rudy Giuliani. Hardly a model of upright Christian living and believing. Once again the Religious Right reveals what truly matters to them - Republicans running the nation. If the moral issues were really paramount Pat could have thrown his support to a Republican hopeful who shared the same convictions. But one of those candidates wouldn't stand a chance against the Democratic nominee.
I am beginning to think that the 700 Club types would support Beelzebub if he ran as a Republican. Clearly a Democrat is more to be feared than the Prince of darkness himself!

I heard that on NPR this morning, too. Well said.
That hilarious. There's an inverse relationship between hypocrisy and pragmatism.
My political party, (Libertarian), suffers from the opposite problem.
They are so entrenched in their positions, that they will not budge. This reduces their ability to affect policy.
So I too wish Mr. Robertson would be less hypocritical, so that he would also be less relevant.
Disappointing, yes. Surprising, no.
I'll admit, my first reaction on hearing this was to think "Yeah. We'll support abortion, turn a blind eye to euthanasia, and generally embrace the whole Orwellian post-911 package. Oh, and make your church perform gay weddings the minute we think we can get away with it."
"But hey, at least we'll torture [insert ethnic slur for Arabs], so that makes us better than those other people! Rudy! Ruuudy!"
Fr. Charles Ledderer, The Dakotas, USA you are impersonating a Catholic priest. Your identity is fictitious. There are people on here that are believing you. I am asking you not to trick people anymore.
