The Immoral Mayorality*: Pat Robertson endorses Ghouliani
Pat Robertson has endorsed a serial adulterer for the Republican presidential nomination. Praise the load.
The Atlantic Monthly‘s Marc Ambinder sums up the reason for this nicely:
Both Giuliani and Robertson share an apocalyptic worldview about the clash with [radical] Islam; for Robertson, it is religious and based in biblical prophecy. For Giuliani, it is secular—but given his 9/11 experiences, just as personal.
Evangelical Christians cite the war on terror as their chief policy concern, and it is not that surprising that Giuliani, who is more identified with an aggressive prosecution of that war than any other candidate, is doing well among evangelicals. It’s not that they ignore his views on social issues; it’s that they see the war on terror like he does: black-and-white, good-versus-evil, a struggle for the soul of civilization.
Plus, there’s the fact that born agains really, really, really hate Mormons.
