A while ago it was McCain sucking up to the extremists after he called them out in 2000. Rudy Giuliani, the man who has been running on a platform that consists mainly talking about the 9/11 attacks is now endorsed by a man who says that we deserved to actually be attacked. As I’ve said before, there is no such thing as being “too far right ” in this country. I hope a reporter will ask Rudy if he agrees with Robertson’s assessment and if he does not—then he should denounce this endorsement. If he’s fine with it then he should explain to all NY’ers why he agrees with Robertson & Falwell’s views. Watching Giuliani being introduced by Robertson says it all, doesn’t it?

JERRY FALWELL: The ACLU’s got to take a lot of blame for this.

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, yes.

JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I’ll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way-all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say “you helped this happen.

PAT ROBERTSON: I totally concur. The problem is that we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. We’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do and the top people are the court system.

There’s got to be a huge rift forming in the Christian Conservative camp over this one . Especially—since James Dobson has already denounced Rudy.

Dobson: …and I think by your supporting Giuliani and helping to get the nomination for him, you’re about to see the contradiction of most of the things that you stand for.

Hannity: We’re friends and we’ll always be friends…

Update: Here it comes. Robertson vs Dobson: “Greg Sargent: Top Conservative Group Wants To Know: Does Rudy Agree With Robertson On 9/11?

“9/11 is what Rudy’s campaign is fundamentally based on,” Charmaine Yoest, a vice president at Family Research Council Action, told us. “This does beg the question — does Rudy agree with Robertson’s comments about 9/11?”

Ha ha ha!

Rudy Giuliani, the man who has been running on a platform that consists mainly talking about the 9/11 attacks is now endorsed by a man who says that we deserved to actually be attacked.

So Patwa is willing to look the other way re: Rudy's stance on gays, etc?

My question is how the gop and especially the christian right can support guli, when they always run on moral values like the sanctity of marriage. Hasn't dress wearing boy been married 3 times?

Rudy won't get the nomination. He's a one-issue candidate, as the thread title suggests. He has been dubbed the "front runner" by the media, but there is a long ways to go. Once the caucuses get going, Rudy will fade away...at least, I hope so...

Couldn't the same thing have been said, more or less, about Dumbya in 2000?

Not to mention the fact that he is pro-choice and pro-gay.

I'd have to do some research on who was the front-runner in 1999. Besides, there are vast differences between Bush and Guliani. Bush appeared to have what conservatives wanted in a candidate. It's only after he was elected that Bush was revealed to be a guy who hasn't met a spending bill he didn't like...at least, until the Democrats took office. The Republican base knows that Guliani is pro-choice, and that could be his downfall unless he convinces the people that his whole campaign is not centered around 9/11.

Recent poll puts him at a statistiscal tie with hillary.

Well, despite Rudy basing his whole campaign on running against Hillary,
Hillary isn't running the the GOP primary. So what Rudy should be worrying
about is Mitt Romney is ahead in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire,
and Mike Huckabee is also ahead in Iowa and gaining in New Hampshire too.

Don't be surprised if he gets in. there are some folks out there who quite simply do not trust Hillary. He may be highly electable vs. Hillary is what it comes down to. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Personally, I do not know whom I favor amongst the Repubs, however no matter whom I would side with amongst the dems, Hillary is the nominee unless a major faux paus drives her into a ditch. Ergo, your opponent is hillabroom, and she's the one they have to gameplan for......dman

Then, he needs to demonstrate he's more than a "9/11" candidate and has something that appeals to the Republicans who have the ability to get Rudy to the Republican convention accepting the nomination. Right now, he has at least one strike against him on the abortion issue.

The amusing thing is the President has zero control over the anortion issue or whether it's legal or illiegal

As it stands, McCain, Romney or Thompson have no shot of defeating Hillary in a general election, none. Toss ron paul in there with them. Either one of them distances themselves from the pack or I see Rudy on the horizon, simple as that. He "presently" is the only one with a shot, again major issues on her part aside......dman

For the most part, I'd have to agree with you...dman

Hmmm...if memory serves me, John McCain was mopping the floor with GeeDubya and Rove's people had to use some major league dirty tricks to win (as always.)

Yeah, Robertson is a hateful little man. Anyone who pays any attention to his attention whore comments knows that. Whats the point of bumping this?

The point is to put funny Robertson 'toons on a Robertson thread so the dittoheads here won't start crying about off-topic posts.

You're welcome!

Yeah but who cares about Pat Robertson? He says stupid **** all the time. He's not relevant, especially here. And he doesn't represent very many christians out there either.

Hey, lets make fun of David Duke too, and and post funny little cartoons about him so we can all get together and go .

Whatever dude. You are who you are I understand that but it just boggles the mind that making fun of an irrelevant old man would be entertaining to you. Or that you would think it would be entertaining and/or informative to anyone else here.

[Boomhauer]

Because a thread pre-dating the 2008 party nominations really needs a bump. Tell me more about the Hildo vs Rudy election.

Obviously you do - otherwise you wouldn't be posting here.
