Rudy and Pat: What Does It Mean?

With the announcement that Pat Robertson will support Rudy Giuliani's candidacy for president, I started to wonder how much Giuliani really knew about Robertson. Here are some quotes by Pat Robertson:

Since I'm a woman, I find this quote by Pat Robertson particularly offensive (BQ):
Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Yes. Robertson really said it.

Then there is this one from Robertson (BQ):
It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-biased media and the homosexuals who want to destroy all Christians.

I guess since most Democrats are compassionate people who welcome all people to the Democratic Party we would all be considered Pat Robertson's enemies.

I think that the Giuliani-Robertson agreement means several things. It means that both men will do and say anything to win. It means that Giuliani will pander to any hatemonger to get an endorsement. And since it seems that Giuliani has little if any respect for women, he fits in well with Robertson.
