Is Rudy Giuliani reading–and reacting–to God-o-Meter? Just as his GOM reading was on a glide path to 0 for inspiring a third party threat from the Christian Right and for telling religious conservatives to respect him for being honest about his socially liberal positions, America’s Mayor cranks it up to 5 by accepting the Family Research Council’s invitation to speak at its Washington Values Voters Summit later this month.
Giuliani is the last A-list Republican candidate to accept the invitation from DC’s top Christian Right lobby–Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, and John McCain and most second-tier GOPers will be there. How he finishes in the straw poll to be conducted at the summit may shed some light on the Republican primary’s big unanswered question: will a chunk of religious conservatives warm to Rudy if he doesn’t completely ignore them? A respectable finish in the straw poll would undermine the third party threat, but a washout could revive questions about his viability and provide another boost to rivals like Mike Huckabee.

I really dont’t think we as christian has a solid stance any more. We seems to want to vote for the candidate who has the best chance to win. Has the chracter of the world invaded the church? Christian principals are never popular. we must vote our conscious,and trust God for the results. As a Christian I will not fall for ills of this world,when it comes to voting. God supercedes everything. To God be the glory.
