Last Minute Barrage of Money from Pat Robertson to His Protege

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

If there was ever any doubt that Bob McDonnell has always been, and remains, "Pat Roberson's Manchurian Candidate" (or "philosophical/political soulmate" if you prefer), this news should put it to rest.
Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell received a trio of last-minute donations totaling $40,000 from religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, his son and daughter-in-law.

Robertson contributed $25,000 on Oct. 20, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonpartisan tracker of money in politics. His son, Tim, donated $5,000 Friday for in-kind services (listed as catering) and his wife, Lisa, donated $10,000 to McDonnell today.

McDonnell said in an interview earlier this year that he and Robertson only speak a couple times a year. But Robertson has become one of his biggest donors.
So, just remember, if you vote for Bob McDonnell today, you're voting for Pat Robertson. Think about that for a minute; would you vote for Pat Roberson to be Governor of Virginia?!?

P.S. Put it this way - Bob McDonnell is Pat Robertson on social issues, George W. Bush on economic policy. What a combination, huh?
