In what may very well be my favorite example of irony, former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani picked up the endorsement of the most prominent figure of the Religious Right, Pat Robertson. It came as a sup rise, given that Giuliani is a pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and pro-gun control Republican. On the other hand, Robertson has spent a career fighting abortion rights, gay rights, and taxes.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Robertson believes that the biggest issue in this election would not be the moral issues or "family values" of 2004. But instead is global terrorism.
Is Robertson, alongside many other members of the Religious Right, so desperate in keeping the White House that he is willing to give up his integrity by backing a candidate who has opposed most of his agenda? Perhaps Mr. Robertson is so frightened of the prospect of Hillary Clinton as president, that he is willing to sell out his principles just to have another four years of neo-conservative rule.
Goodnight, and good luck.
