My sentiments exactly. I voted straight Republican since 1987 and when we finally got a majority in both houses and the presidency , what happened? The RINOs of the gang of 14 stopped the conservative legislative agenda by stiffing the illegal alien package from the house.That made up my mind then, that I would never vote for a liberal ever again.
Like you I will leave rather than vote for a liberal, and if I am pissed enough, I might vote Dem , just out of spite. I certainly would vote for Joe Leibermann before I voted for Rudy Giulliani. At least Joe has a record and a demonstrated courage.
The Republican moderate movement, if there is one, is engineered from the current RNC leadership and the MSM slimes. They think that Dem moderates will come over to vote for a RINO candidate.
WRONGO! ( Why?)
Because of Obama. He will unify the Dem party, and Hillary will never receive the Dem nomination. She is hated in her own camp. And the Dem moderates will vote for Obama, rather than a RINO. Count on it. The RNC , in supporting a POS like Rudy is missing their last best chances to win the election by giving Rudy the edge.
Rudy is nothing, and he cannot unify the Republican Party. Only Newt and Duncan can do that.
You're correct on one point: Only Republicans will vote for Hunter or Gingrich.
To win the general we also need independents and crossover democrats.
