Pat Robertson has been known recently primarily for his, shall we say, "surprising" statements: After 9/11 The 700 Club host commented that God was "lifting his protection from us" because of acceptance of homosexuality. He suggested the United States should assassinate Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. In 2006 warned that "the coasts of America will be lashed by storms. There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest." And at the beginning of this year, warned that terrorist will attack the US with mass killing, possibly millions of people, major cities injured." But last week, may have been his most surprising declaration of all:

The conservative Christian, who founded the conservative Christian Coalition, endorsed liberal Republican Rudy Giuliani! The former NYC mayor supports abortion and gay rights—two issues opposed by Christian conservatives. Robertson believes Giuliani will support the war on terrorism, appoint conservative judges, reduce crime and limit federal spending.

I asked my source at CBN why Robertson would endorse a pro-abortion, pro-gay rights candidate and not thoroughly conservative Mike Huckabee. His answer, "Giuliani has a better chance of winning."

If the election choice comes down to Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, conservative Christians won’t have any candidate who passes their abortion and same-sex marriage litmus test. Many will simply choose to stay home election day. Others will be forced to more closely examine which candidate most closely aligns with issues Jesus considered important, rather than simply asking "Is he or she pro-life and anti-gay rights?"

"I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink? I was a stranger and you invited me ink, I needed clothing and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sister of mine, you did it for me" (Matthew 25).

So, who do you think Jesus would elect?
