Washington DC, November 8 (CNA).-Pat Robertson, televangelist and founder of the Christian Coalition, on Wednesday endorsed the socially liberal Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.

"It is my pleasure to announce my support for America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans," Robertson said during a news conference with Giuliani in Washington.

Giuliani, former mayor of New York, supports abortion rights and homosexual rights despite the Republican Party's official stands against such issues.

Robertson, who made an unsuccessful presidential bid in 1988, is also the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Christian Coalition and Regent University. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Robertson claimed in a statement that the attacks occurred because Americans had insulted God and lost the protection of heaven by "allowing abortion and rampant internet pornography."

Robertson did not mention his differences with Giuliani on social issues in Wednesday's statement.

How many people have heard this audio clip with the lady from Iowa shedding tears about about how "sincere" Obama is? She starts crying when she mentions holding Obama's hand. I don't know about the rest of you but I found this audio clip to be very funny. Who in their right mind would start crying over a presidential candidate holding their hand? i think this woman watches too much of the Oprah show. Please listen to the sound bite.

Here is the audio clip. Click on the audio link right under the lady's picture. The link says " Listen: Geri Punteney Says Barack Obama Seemed 'Sincere'

hello everybody,
I am thinking of joining the navy. but i would like a job that will let me stay in the ship all the time. i do not want to go in the ship and then go to the land. I just want to be in the ship. I speak a lot of langauges, and i am fluent in all of them. For instance, I speak English ( of course), Spanish, Arabic and French. And currently i am learning chinese and Japanese. It is very hard, but i love learning new things. I don't want to have an interview yet. But I know that I love the navy. the thing is i don't want to join the navy and then because of my languages they will send me to be on land on iraq or something like that. i love to travel and workout, I want to join the navy but i don't want them after bootcamp to send me to Iraq. I will go anywhere they want but I will not leave the ship. What should I do ? What should I choose? How about intelligence Department, will I have to be on land for that or will they keep me on the ship?
Please let me know??? Thanks

My son has gone through problems and has got to the point that I cannot help him. He has bills. Although he does not talk to me, the collectors call. I have told them over and over again not to call because of my health problems and stress levels. They have been told to take my name off their list over and over again. Today, one collector called at 1:00pm. Next, at 6:00pm, another person from that agency called. Today was the last straw and I am attempting to keep track of calls. What can be done to these inconsiderate people?

Would you support a tax system where your income is not taxed, but higher taxes are placed on the items you purchase?

I am not talking about high taxes on things like food or water or even clothing as those are things that everyone needs. I am talking about taxing movies, cars, electronics, things that are not a needed to survive.

If this was done then people who spent more money would be taxed more. The person buying a boat or hot tub or things like that would end up paying more taxes in the end. So basically the people who have the money to spend would end up paying more taxes.

I know a lot would have to be worked out to make sure the poor dont end up getting taxed to death, but if that could be worked out would you perfer this method of taxation?

and would you support a person running on this platform?

It was reported in the press today that although vets make up only 11% of our total population they make up 25% of our homeless population.

Do we owe these homeless vets any special treatment or programs to help them?

What type of relationship does the president have with Congress?

Are things getting done in Washington?

You can be honest, but please no bad words or name-calling. I am a supporter of Bush, although I do disagree with several of his policies. How do YOU think he's doing?

Thank you.

Ok, so this is a tricky one here and any help would be greatly appreciated, also the speedier the answer the better as I have to move quickly on this one. So a woman came to speak at my school yesterday about privacy online, to make some points about Facebook she created a fake Facebook account that was not under her own name, took embarrassing images of people from the school, and used them in her presentation. However the pictures were either blurred or the face was blocked out, however due to the audience (a school in which these people belong), some people were still able to tell who the pictures were of. I want to know if what she did was legal, and on a significantly lesser note, what the consequences could be were she ever taken to court for doing that. Thanks for your help!
