Posted under Christianity & Conservatism & Election 2008 & Politics & Rudy Giuliani
This article suggests it did.
The backlash against Robertson started even as the first reports surfaced that he was backing a candidate at odds with core evangelical beliefs.
The blogs lit up.
“Pat Robertson has sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver,†said one blogger. “Shame on Pat Robertson,†wrote another.
The Web site RFFM.org blasted Robertson for sacrificing “many of the issues he claimed to fight for in his attempt to, once again, bask in the public limelight. Robertson seems willing to overlook all of these ‘flaws’ within the former New York Mayor’s political character, in order to do what?â€
Robertson insisted his endorsement was aimed at a movement among some evangelicals to support a third-party candidate if Giuliani becomes the Republican nominee. But that rationale only deepened the ire of many.
Did Robertson insist his endorsement was aimed at evangelicals threatening a third party or is that just the author’s interpretation? I haven’t read that he said that in so many words. It seemed to me a straight forward endorsement of Giuliani as someone who will vigorously prosecute “the war on terror,” and be able to beat Hillary.
I am not sure which is worse, a straight forward endorsement of Rudy or an attempt to subvert fellow Christians.

Theres no need for Robertson to start backing up now!……………His credability is toast…….He has shown to all that is wise, that his desires to eat at the King’s table is greater than his principles. The fruit on his tree is rank, and his passion for politics has destroyed his decisions as a one time minister………………He should simply fade into obscurity, repent of his bad decisions, and fade from the facade of being a true Christian leader.

Most are missing the fact that Robertson is a high level MASON 33rd degree mason. Many say Robertson is a devout satanist in chrinos clothing.
Judy Ruliani is a MASON as well, and also a satanist.
Most also dont know that as a satanist, they are allowed to do as much good, as they do evil. It is the duality, the ying yang, the two faced god JANUS. Only the supposed “good” side is sold to the public.
Robertson does business with China and its Logai slave labor made products. Robertson is also in business with South African Diamond mine owners. WWJD… he would throw Robertson out of the pulpit and beat his butt with a cat o nine tails as he did the whores in the temple of his days.
Robertsons daddy was a powerful senator from virginia. Son Pat learned quickly that selling Christ, makes bigger bucks…

Last night, i am so convinced that Rudy blew any hope of a nomination by the way he answered the aborton question..
If a Presidential candidate is given the proposition to be able to change
abortion into an illegal activity, and chooses not to…says it would be left up to the ‘states’ what a joke. Rudy had a perfect opportunity to pretend to be a leader, and he couldn’t even do that.
