In a sign that the impending apocalypse is drawing nearer, extreme Christian Pat Robertson endorsed extreme hedonist Rudy Giuliani today. I can understand why Rudy would want the endorsement of Robertson. He needs to increase his conservative Christian street cred to widen his support base. With Giuliani's less-than-moral past, what better way to whitewash that image than joining forces with the founder of the Christian Coalition? I'm surprised that Robertson would endorse him though, given that he is anti-gay marriage (Rudy was for it at one point in his political life) and that he is anti-abortion (where Rudy was pro-choice). I'm amazed that when those two touch, they don't annihilate each other in a flash of energy like matter and anti-matter colliding.
I know politics makes strange bedfellows, but this one makes my skin crawl. I used to like Giuliani, back when he was a moderate. But his pandering of the far right is pathetic. I could excuse him for his womanizing and his post-9/11 grandstanding, but this is too much to swallow. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.
As a fairly liberal Democrat (just left of pro-choice, just right of repealing the 2nd Amendment), I'm curious on how Republicans feel about these two. Leave me your opinions on this one. I'd really like to know.
