Good for the DNC! It's about thime we started letting the RW

When the Rev. Pat Robertson endorsed former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for the presidency, he created a schism among evangelical Republicans – one that may cost the GOP the White House next year.


Since Robertson, the founder of the influential 700 Club, stood with Giuliani at a joint press conference on Nov. 7, a major backlash has been under way in the evangelical community over the endorsement.

“It’s going to hurt him,” Scheffler says. “For years and years he talked about what issues are important. This makes a mockery of it all. It is a complete betrayal to our movement. It’s a disgrace.”

Michael Cromartie, director of the Evangelicals and Civic Life Program at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, says the Giuliani endorsement was “past Mr. Robertson being the pragmatic politician.” Cromartie tells Newsmax: “He is not taken seriously. For the religious conservative movement, it has moved on. Mr. Robertson is important only as a curiosity to the mainstream media. I don’t know anybody in the evangelical who is sitting around saying ‘I am going to wait for what Pat does.’”

I appologoze for posting something from newsmax, but I do enjoy it when there's unrest amoung the RW nuts!When I first heard about Robertson supporting Rudy, I expected a fracture in the RW, and I'll be THRILLED if they try to propup a 3rd Party candidate they think THEY can support! I'm a bit surprised they haven't done so already!
