Try thos thought on for size: MAYBE if the GOP acted like the conservatives they claimed to be, then more people who are conservatives would vote for them! Did you ever think that some people are not "hold my nose and vote" types? This site is made up of ALL types...some of us hold our noses and vote. Some will never vote against their conscience.
I'll lay it out plain and SIMPLE for you. IF the GOP nominates Rudy in 2008...I will NOT vote GOP! I cannot vote for a pro-abort...no way no how. That is my conscience. I might can hold my nose for other things but that is where I draw the line. Some people just draw the line a little further up the road.
Instead of being mad at Libertarians...you should be mad at the GOP leadership who are making US to have to draw the line IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!
Reagan never made the GOP have to hold it's collective nose and draw a line in the distance to see how far he could push you before you wouldn't vote GOP anymroe.
That is what I expect now. I was sold a bill of goods in 1994...it got cashed last night and there were insufficient funds!
Your position is even LESS tenable than others. If Rudy agreed with you on every other position (taxes, borders, gay "marriage", etc.) but disagreed on abortion, you still would vote for him?
All I can say is "Hillary Clinton, President, 2009-2017".
Vote against Rudy in the primary, then. Withholding your vote in the general election because Rudy is the candidate is the same as a vote for abortion. Just the thing, if you want the Hildebeest and her charming First Gentleman back in the White House!
