Pat Robertson endorses Rudy Giuliani. And I’m not making that up.
They say shocking news comes in threes. First we get news this week that Rep. Ron Paul raked in more than $4 million in just ONE DAY, on an interesting fundraising campaign that coincided with Guy Fawkes Day. (This was also the Nile’s birthday, but rumor has it that this had little to do with Paul’s decision to use November 5 as a fundraising push.)
But even more shocking than that comes news this morning that Pat Robertson — yes, that Pat Robertson, who once suggested that maybe we’d be better off if a nuclear weapon hit our State Department — is endorsing Rudy Giuliani for President.
I can only imagine the sh*t-eating grin that Rudy has on his face right now, as you can bet he’ll be throwing this endorsement out there left and right to quash the talk that the religious right is uncomfortabl e with him due to his somewhat pro-choice inklings and his tacit support of some gay rights. Mitt Romney must be so pissed right now. After all, Romney fought so hard for the endorsement of uber-Christi ans Bob Jones and Paul Weyrich, that a Robertson endorsement seemed written in the stars.
More on this later, but surprising news nonetheless. Ron Paul rakes in $4 mil in 24 hours; Pat Robertson endorses Rudy Giuliani; what shocking news comes next? Perhaps the Miami Dolphins, a sentimental Nile favorite, might win a game?
Now that would be truly shocking.

Many christians have already figured out that the Top Christians leaders are too power hungry to stick to priciple and have sold their souls to win nothing
The Ron Paul grassroots used the movie V for Vendetta (loner fights totalitarian government) as the November 5 theme to get 4 million dollars. That is attention getting.
But for me, a Christian, by the way, it is the principles behind Paul that wins my support.
What Romni didn’t/doesn ’t realize is that fundamentali st Christians believe that Mormonism is a cult — a bastardizati on (illigitimat e form) of Christianity .
Oh, they’re winning something, Flo. They’re winning tax cuts, deregulation , crooked judicial appointments , war, the police state, etc. They’re winning alright. Robertson may be a world class piece of shit, but he ain’t no fool.
Besides, it’s a win/win for the religious right leaders. If they can keep issues like God, gays and guns alive, whilst burying issues like wealth disparity, militarizati on, debt and corruption, they get both the powers of the idiot masses and the corrupt government.

JMJ,
Your generalized statements will not win arguments.
[…] From Jones of the Nile: […]
Isn’t it fitting that one man out of touch with reality (Robertson) endorses another man who seems to make his own reality up at a moments notice (Giuliani).
