Imagine -- Pat Robertson has sold out to GOP standard bearer of the Homosexual Agenda! Who knew?

One California-based family advocate reacted to that announcement, saying he believes the televangelist sold out the pro-family community by endorsing a candidate who has advocated the transsexual, bisexual, and homosexual agenda.

Now another conservative in the Golden State, Wiley Drake, pastor of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, is criticizing Robertson for endorsing the former mayor of the Big Apple. Drake argues that Christians cannot support a candidate who favors special rights for homosexuals and who is pro-abortion.

"We're going to encourage people to call in [to CBN] and let them know that until Pat Robertson repents and comes back to the Lord, we will not listen to The 700 Club and we will not make any donations to The 700 Club," he says.

Drake, a former vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), says Christians are never called to put politics over biblical principles.
