As the Gipper so eloquently stated,
"So, it was our Republican Party that gave me a political home. When I signed up for duty, I didn't have to check my principles at the door. And I soon found out that the desire for victory did not overcome our devotion to ideals".
--Ronald Reagan remarks at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans, August 15, 1988.

I won't have to 'check my principles at the door'---the way that many conservatives that will vote for Rudy will.

Bear in mind, that like Guiliani, Reagan himself was once a Democrat.....and even , as Governor of California, in 1967 signed legislation liberalizing abortion laws.

The true left in this country finds more in common with totalitarianism elsewhere in the world, than in what you or I would think or want for one another or our families... and would, if it could, bring that mindset to bear on those it perceives stand in its way.
