Robertson... obviously fear of Clinton is overriding common sense. Giuliani would be a disaster for social conservatives, and yet they flock to him out of fear. Sad.

As for Brownback endorsing McCain, it isn't social conservatism McCain needs a "bridge" to -- he's in deep doo-doo over immigration, and Brownback isn't going to help there.

Brownback was the favorite of National Right to Life in my opinion.

NRL despised McCain for McCain-Feingold.

I’m surprised at that endorsement.

As for Pat Robertson, he likes to follow the wind and I think his finger feels a Rudy breeze out there.

Does anyone remember that Giuliani was the one who handed the NY Senate seat to Hillary? Think he won't do it again?

Rudy is a Clintoon shill.

Wake up people.

This has got to be a major blow to Romney and Huckabee, who are both courting these endorsements, as if the endorsement of Robertson and Weyrich is going to bring with it any votes to speak of.

The prolife vote is going to be split, making the other legs of the social conservative stool-immigration and guns- even more important. Fred realizes this and while touting his prolife credentials and his reliability on federalist judges who really will reverse Roe v. Wade, he is assuming the mantle of the only major “secure borders” candidate (as opposed to the others, especially Rudy, McCain and Huckabee), having already secured his position as the candidate of gun owners.

Fred will get a very solid share of the prolife vote, because he is the most likely to appoint the judges who can actually mover the ball forward. But he is going to get the lion’s share of the Immigration and 2nd Amendment vote. That will be the difference.

God used King David to His purposes, and David had done much worse.

“Giuliani would be a disaster for social conservatives”..

Yes, because you know NYC became SO much more liberal under his reign than under Koch and others.... (Rolling Eyes)

No surprise with Brownback. Whenever “comprehensive immigration reform” have been introduced in the senate during the past couple years, both McCain and Brownback have both voted in favor of it.
