Very Strange Bedfellows
By Joshua Rosenstock | November 7, 2007

Now this really gives me the creeps.
Two of the creepiest guys in the country ‘joining’ forces.

It really goes to show you how much BS is involved with the evangelical/”value voters” movement when one of its longtime leaders is comfortable throwing away everything he has fought for the past twenty plus years in the name of getting in bed with a pro-choice, pro-gay rights politician.

Homework Assignment for tomorrow:
What might there be, however subtle, in Giuliani’s platform, that is consistent with the Evangelical geopolitical world view?

Comments like “Giuliani will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans” make me want to “frow up!”
Robertson is either a world-class hypocrite or has been locked in a closet for the past six monts.
Giuliani’s whole campaign is based on FEAR, not hope.
And while I find him despicable, I’m afraid his cynical message will resonate with enought voters to win the nomination.
And if the Democrats choose Hillary, Rudy will certainly win the White House.

Reading Robertson’s statement, it speaks for itself.
Will it speak for enough voters to give Giuliani the candidacy and subsequently, the election?
Quien sabe amigos?

Robertson has made a deal with the Devil to help get a Republican elected.
I imagine it’s all about Armageddon politics and defending Israel in his demented mind.
Wayne Barrett at the Village Voice broke the story of how Giuliani’s claims of terrorism expertise is a fraud.
As Jeffrey Feldman has pointed out in his piece at the Huffington Post:
“…the Rovian machine quietly recreated the exact same phony image of Giuliani in the press that George W. Bush has worn for years:
strong on terror, nice to have a beer with.”
And:
“Just as George W. Bush’s ’strong military’ campaign depended on powerful allies hiding his AWOL record in the National Guard, it seems that Giuliani’s ’strong on terror’ campaign depends on powerful friends hiding his past ignorance and recklessness on all things having to do with terrorism.”
Also:
Forget ‘America’s Mayor.’ Rudy Giuliani is George W. Bush’s ‘get out of jail free’ card.
And Dick Cheney’s.
And Karl Rove’s.
And Condi Rice’s.
And Don Rumsfeld’s.”
I think this is what’s really going on with this bizarre embrace of nasty Giuliani by one of Satan’s very own minions.;-)

Hope Robertson luck is better than Robert Johnson’s. His ‘deal with the devil’ didn’t buy him much longevity and his notoriety had to wait years, for others to discover it and benefit by it.
