The controversial religious broadcaster Pat Robertson joined Mitt Romney on Monday at a Virginia Beach fundraiser for the presidential candidate's campaign.

Pictures from the event, shot by a local photographer, show Robertson and Romney in conversation together along with Jeff McWaters, a wealthy health care executive, state senator and the event's host.

1. I thought Robertson was dead...

I guess it's just his brain.

2. Wow...does this mean the Evangelicals and Fundamentalists will put behind them years of hate

All for a common goal?

I don't see it lasting

4. I've stated many times

That if it looks like Romney is the candidate - the big names like Robertson would rally around him, but the hard part will be getting their flocks, whom they've told for years that Mormonism is a cult, excited about voting for him.

9. And I've stated many times that they will vote for Romney no matter

what his religion is, as against Obama. People who keep saying the fundies won't vote for Romney underestimate the power of racism.

6. The conversation...

The conversation was overheard. Nearly 100% of it consisted of the two bozos asking each other for money.
