I just don't think a "real conservative" can win this time around. I feel Rudy and maybe McCain are the only Republicans that can win in 2008. I'm willing to forgo the social issues, issues where the President has the least influence, to keep Hillary out and put in a strong leader that will continue the WOT. I'm looking at the big picture. Sometimes life, and especially politics, is a compromise and if you don't compromise you get nothing. Right now, I'll take 80% because I feel 2008 you either take 80% or get nothing(Hillary).
Looking at the big picture:
Hillary elected=Constitution trashed
McGiuliromney elected=Constitution trashed
Constitution trashed=end of republic as we got it from the founders. Difference between candidates= zip point zilch. Would any of the above be worthy of my vote? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Big picture: FIND A CANDIDATE WILLING TO CONSERVE THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC. Stop electing RINOs and rewarding bad political behavior.
Oh, and your "80%?" With Hillary it's 5%, maybe; with McGiuliromney, maybe 6% at best. No 80% or anywhere close to it unless you're just another RINO liberal... are you?
