    Rev. Pat Robertson says politics 'can't change our world'.

    Rev. Pat Robertson drops endorsements, says politics 'can't change our world'

    By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY
    2:54 PM

    One-time presidential candidate Rev. Pat Robertson, who long has made controversial moral pronouncements on topics from Alzheimer's to the weather, says no more political endorsements from now on.

    Robertson, 81, told The Associated Press this weekend that.

    I've personally backed off from direct political involvement. I've been there, done that. The truth of the matter is politics is not going to change our world. It's really not going to make that much of a difference.

    He said he "doesn't have the political influence he once did" from his perch as founder of the Christian Coalition and reigning host of the Christian Broadcasting Network's 700 Club, which marked 50 years on the air on Saturday. He said,

    When I was in charge of the Christian Coalition I was available to mobilize grass-roots support for somebody. I don't have any army right now. It's just an opinion, and that isn't quite as good as it used to be.

    Not that Robertson lacks for opinions. The AP offered a greatest hits of Robertson statements including:

    •The federal courts, pornography, abortion rights and church-state separation angered God, allowing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to occur.
    •American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
    •The debilitating stroke suffered by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was divine retribution for his decision to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
    •Haiti was cursed a day after a devastating earthquake.
    •A man whose wife has Alzheimer's disease and was seeing another woman should divorce his wife.

    But 90% of the CBN audience is overseas now and less interested in U.S. politics, Duke University professor David Morgan told AP. So maybe there's more marketing than morality at work here.

    •American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
    On his show, his words were that Chavez needed to be "taken out". That could have meant taken out of power - not killed.
