Pat Robertson Backs Giuliani?

Although Pat Robertson says foolish things, he's no fool. That's why he announced his support for Rudy Giuliani.

I've studied Robertson for many years, met him, and debated him on a national radio broadcast. I think I know the man. For several years I even recruited operatives to infiltrate his Christian Coalition, and personally attended its Road to Victory conference in Washington DC.

One thing that you can be sure of about Robertson, actually two things, he's antigay rights and antiabortion. He would never ever back a candidate who supported gay rights and is prochoice, such as Giuliani.

So, what's he up to? I think he's trying to sabotage Giuliani's campaign. As the Republican front-runnner, Giuliani frightens Robertson. He knows that the Religious Right will never support Giuliani, even with his backing. And he knows that if he backs Giuliani, it'll scare away moderate Republicans and they'll support someone else.

The bottom line, by backing Rudy, Robertson will cause him to lose the Republican nomination for President, and that's what Pat Robertson wants.
