VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (W.) Oct. 20, 2006 -- Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Coalition, says the organization accomplished its goals years ago and should closed its doors.
"The Christian Coalition, I gave it a series of goals," Robertson told WordNews.org. "No. 1, to take control of the Congress for conservatives. That took place in 1994. The next thing was to have a majority of conservative Republican governors. That took place. To have a major influence in one of the major political parties. That took place. The last thing was to have a born again Christian in the White House. That was it."
Robertson, the founder and chairman of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) Inc., Regent University, and host of The 700 Club, pauses for a moment and laughs.
"The coalition accomplished all of its goals, at which time its purposes had ended and the most merciful thing that should have happened to it was to put it in the ground and have a memorial service and tell it good by. Unfortunately, it stayed on too long, the leadership was not handling matters that it should have. It wasn’t well led in the last few years and the chapters were not coordinated with properly."
