Pastor Wilton says "I didn't mean it"

What he said at the time:

"I am proud to stand alongside Governor Romney as he pursues our nation's highest office. His values are my values – protecting the sanctity of human life, defending marriage and strengthening the family. We need someone in Washington who will stand up for traditional families and Governor Romney is that person," said Dr. Wilton. "While we may not agree on theology, Governor Romney and I agree that this election is about our country heading in the right direction. Governor Romney is the best candidate to stand for conservative values in Washington."

Does that sound like an endorsement to you?

But now he's saying that he made a "personal error" in agreeing to support the Romney campaign. So much for good judgment from this guy. I wonder if other RR leaders will rescind their endorsements, too.

Looks like the Religious Right is not accepting Rudi as their Champion either....Huckabee is moving up-- while Freds run is stagnating from what was expected- with a campaign organization that keeps losing top people, that the Blogs rumor mill say are being run away by the "trophy wife" trying to micromanage his campaign.... I think Rudi may have ran his course too- when Republican actually look at him they should recognize that he is no true Republican...

Altho none come close in a head to head matchup with Hillary in the polls with McCain doing the best at 43% of the vote.....

And Colbert has moved into double digits nationwide--if the vote were today-- the overall numbers show Hillary Clinton at 45%, Rudy Giuliani at 35%, and Colbert at 13%.

Which to me shows that many in this nation like "none of the above" and that a strong 3rd party candidate could have a heavy influence on the outcome of the election....

Buchanan: GOP Would Lose Soul with Giuliani

Monday, October 22, 2007 5:39 PM

Support for Rudy Giuliani represents a return to liberal Republicanism that would strip the GOP of its hard-won progress on moral, social and cultural issues, warns Pat Buchanan.




In his new column “Conservatism is a Tower of Babel,” the GOP strategist and one-time presidential candidate examines Giuliani’s political record, concluding that the former New York City mayor and federal prosecutor is certifiably a liberal Rockefeller Republican.




He describes Giuliani as a, “McGovernite in 1972 [who] boasted in the campaign of 1993 that he would ‘rekindle the Rockefeller-Javits-Lefkowitz tradition’ of New York's GOP and ‘produce the kind of change New York City saw with ... John Lindsay.’ ”




Buchanan points out that Giuliani ran on the Liberal Party ticket and supported Mario Cuomo in 1994.




“Pro-abortion, anti-gun, again and again he strutted up Fifth Avenue in the June Gay Pride parade and turned the Big Apple into a sanctuary for illegal aliens,” Buchanan writes. “While Ward Connerly goes state to state to end reverse discrimination, Rudy is an affirmative-action man.”




Rudy, Buchanan notes, has attracted “those inveterate opportunists, the neocons, who see in Giuliani their last hope of redemption for their cakewalk war and their best hope for a long war against Islamo-fascism.”




Buchanan maintains that a Giuliani presidency would represent a return and a “final triumph of the Republicanism that conservatives went into politics to purge from power. A Giuliani presidency would represent repudiation by the party of the moral, social and cultural content that with anti-communism once separated it from liberal Democrats and defined it as an institution.



“Rudy offers the right the ultimate Faustian bargain,” writes Buchanan. “Retention of power at the price of one's soul.”

Pollster: Huckabee in GOP top tier
Former Arkansas governor surges ahead of Romney in latest survey

Rasmussen Reports, a top political polling firm, is adding former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to its daily tracking of top tier GOP presidential candidates following a surge that pushed him past former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Rasmussen – the nation's most accurate polling firm during the 2004 presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry vote totals to within half a percent of their actual outcomes – said today "for the first time ever," Huckabee moved into the top four.

"Rudy Giuliani remains precariously atop the pack with support from 20 percent of Likely Republican Primary Voters nationwide. Fred Thompson is close behind at 19 percent while John McCain enjoys a second straight day in third place with 14 percent of the vote," the report said.


"Huckabee continues to gain ground and is just two points behind McCain at 12 percent. This is the first time all year that Huckabee has surpassed Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor slipped another point and he is now at just 11 percent nationally," Rasmussen said.

Rudy is apparently FOX's candidate of choice. They demanded John McCain take the ad off the air that includes his "I was tied up" comment in the latest debate because it includes the FOX logo. But at that time Rudy's official website was running an ad from that same debate with the FOX logo on it. In fact, there were several FOX links on Rudy's site. McCain has refused, so far, to pull the ad. And now FOX says they've notified ALL candidates to remove FOX from their websites.

The Fox News Channel sent notices to the campaigns of the leading Republican presidential candidates ordering them to stop using images from their Fox appearances in their campaign ads. The notices were sent out after the network was criticized for singling out only Senator John McCain’s campaign in barring use of the images.
Earlier in the week, Fox had demanded that the McCain campaign cancel an advertisement that prominently featured his performance in a debate Sunday night that Fox News had sponsored. The advertisement featured a video clip of Mr. McCain’s shot at Senator Hillary Clinton for pushing a $1 million earmark for a museum commemorating the Woodstock festival in 1969, ending with the biting observation that he was “tied up” during the concert. Mr. McCain was in a North Vietnamese prison at the time.
Earlier tonight, the Web site Talking Points Memo pointed out that the campaigns of Mr. McCain’s rivals, specifically Rudolph W. Giuliani and Mitt Romney, made liberal use of footage from Fox images to promote their candidates, but had not been told to remove the images.

“Our legal team has been alerted and there will be cease and desist orders,” said a Fox spokesperson.
Rival campaigns have privately suggested that they believe Fox unfairly skews its coverage in Mr. Giuliani’s favor, citing his long history with Roger Ailes, who runs the cable outlet. Mr. Ailes, a former Republican operative, worked as a media consultant on Mr. Giuliani’s first, failed bid for mayor of New York City in 1989 and the two have remained close ever since.
Mr. McCain, appearing on Fox immediately after Sunday’s debate, even joked with one of the hosts, Sean Hannity, about what he saw as his obvious support for Mr. Giuliani, without mentioning his rival by name. Mr. Hannity, who is the host of one of the most popular shows on the channel, begged off the assertion, saying he does not support any particular candidate..
