I am a Christian conservative or social conservative. I am Pro-Life. I vote.
Rudy Giuliani is pro-gay, pro-gun control, and pro-abortion.
For these reasons and others, I state very firmly that I will not vote for Rudy Giuliani for President of the United States under any circumstances.
Senator John McCain has waffled on human cloning, has supported experimentation on human embryos, and has attacked prominent Christian clergy because of the, "evil influence that they exercise." John McCain has said of Pro-Life voters, on a public broadcast radio show, that they are, "otherwise intelligent people who say that that's the only issue that will determine their vote." McCain told the San Francisco Chronicle, "I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade."
For these reasons and others, I state very firmly that I will not vote for John McCain for President of the United States under any circumstances.
Sincerely,
Since the 2006 election cycle ended, FR has turned into flame wars between single issue factions who don't think a multi-issue conservative is "conservative enough" because he/she doesn't emphasize their issue above the other conservative issues. Why can't we have conservativism at all 3 levels - foreign, fiscal, and social? What is sadly taking place here are the various factions trying to bully each other.
Amen!
{McCain will lose because of his position on Iraq}
Rudy stands behind President Bush on Iraqi. Also, Rudy campaigned proudly for Talent and Santorum. Hillary would attempt to link Rudy to Bush's Iraqi policy and other red meat conservatives.
Rudy has more running room on Iraq than McCain does. Rudy has said less. He has not come out in favor of sending in more troops.
You said -- "Your as yet unsupported assertion was that "Christianity" called the LDS a cult."
Apparently, it's only unsupported in your own mind...

Yup, I think that's true. The point I was trying to make about Rudy and Catholics is that a large majority of pro life Catholics were Reagan democrats who have made the switch, they now vote in Republican primaries. And they vote their because of the social issues. Your point is a good one that puts emphasis on why I don't think Rudy can beat McCain.
In 2004, liberals sneered at some Catholic clergy who made a big fuss over sKerry's pro-abortion record. Come 2008, the same liberals will praise the clergy should they complain about Rudy's social issues stance.
Goes without saying Kuksool.
