Mitt Romney said Pat Robertson strengthens the pillars of our community?

The guy who said God told him there would be nukes in 2007? A PILLAR? Mitt Romney gave the commencement address at Regent University, Monica Goodling's alma mater, the very school that is dedicated to the destruction of the separation between church and state. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, talking to a fundamentalist Christianist who is sure LDS is a cult and not a religion???

Think Progress helpfully reminds us of Pat Robertson's wonderful Christian attitude:

Robertson on the vote in Dover, PA in support of evolution science:

I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city.

Robertson on September 11:

Two days after the terrorist attacks, Mr. Robertson held a conversation with Jerry Falwell on Mr. Robertson’s TV show “The 700 Club.” Mr. Falwell laid blame for the attack at the feet of “the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians,” not to mention the A.C.L.U. and People for the American Way. “Well, I totally concur,” said Mr. Robertson.

Robertson on Islam:

I believe it’s motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it’s time we recognize what we’re dealing with. … [T]he goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination.

Robertson on former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke:

Robertson suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s recent stroke was the result of Sharon’s policy, which he claimed is “dividing God’s land.”

Robertson on assassinating Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez:

I don’t know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it.

Robertson on the federal judiciary being a greater threat than al Qaeda:

Q: You’ve said that Liberals are engaged in an all-out assault on Christianity…and that the out-of-control judiciary, and this was in your last book “Courting Disaster” is the most serious threat America has faced in nearly 400 years of history, more serious than al Qaeda, more serious than Nazi Germany and Japan, more serious than the Civil War?

Pat Robertson: George, I really believe that.

Wow. Good choice, Mitt.

Yes, and he can leg press 2000 pounds! That's the real attraction to Romney.

Hmmm. Tell me again how the Islamic goal of world domination is different, and therefore "evil", from the Evangelical Christian goal of world domination?

Aren't the goals the same for both religions?

Isn't "evil" defined based on one's religious perspective?
