The Christian Broadcasting Network put on an election night special and host Pat Robertson appeared to be dumbfounded that President Obama won re-election. Robertsons guests included Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, Regent University vice president Paul Bonicelli and Romney adviser Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice, the legal group Robertson founded. Barnes reassured Robertson that even if Obama wins, the President hardly has a mandate for anything because this was a status quo election, as apparently Barnes thinks any incumbent who gets re-elected doesnt have a mandate. But Sekulow said that Obama will likely appoint two or three justices to the Supreme Court and will use the power of the executive branch to push new encroachments on liberty and freedom.
Robertson, who throughout the program held out hope that Karl Roves prediction that Romney could win Ohio would materialize, was stunned that Obama was the winner: What have they got? He doesnt seem to have any program and yet hes been able to win a re-election, what is going on with the American people? Bonicelli said that Americans will spend their next four years regretting this decision and Robertson warned that the U.S. is looking more like Western Europe and even Zaire.

Pat Robertson is clearly an expert on Zaire, he keeps befriending their dictators and investing in blood diamond operations.
Ya, really.

(8,756 posts)Robertson and his kind are psychopathic lunatics of their own selves.
A smart betting person would wager Patterson has influenced more deaths paid for by his cons than the average media serial killer.
Sobering is the thought that so many individuals follow the lunancy and ammorality of the religious extremists that manipulate for ego, monetary, and political gain.
