Despite Rudy Giuliani's pro-choice stance
when it comes to abortion, televangelist Pat Robertson has decided to
endorse the Republican presidential candidate.
In the November 7th press conference where
Pat Robertson announced his endorsement, none of the reporters asked
Giuliani to comment on previous controversial statements of Robertson in
the past.
Pat Robertson has said that "the
abortionists," "the feminists," and the American Civil Liberties Union
"helped this [the attacks of 9/11/2001] to happen." MediaMatters
has a very in-depth article on things
that Robertson has said in the past that completely contradict
Giuliani's principles and campaign.
"I am very, very honored by this
endorsement," Giuliani said in the press release. "Pat Robertson
is a very well-known leader, person of great, well-deserved
reputation...understands, I think, to a very large extent what America
is all about, and has very well articulated what are the overriding
issues of our time."
Of course, money is money, an endorsement
is an endorsement, and votes are votes. And if Robertson is
campaigning for Giuliani - well, maybe Brack Obama should accept that
endorsement from Brad Pitt, after
all.
