"Some folks find it much easier to throw in the towel. They could care less about conviction. They have no principles to fight for.
It's 01/2006 and they have the white flag waving for Liberals and will not lift a finger for a Conservative."
Why the heck can't you and others understand that that isn't the issue?
We will certainly support the candidate if he meets your/our
"conservative standards".
The issue is IF Rudy is the nominee will he get ALL of our support.
Those that have the best interests of this country in mind will have to say YES.
We still have a long way to go.....Rudy is in the lead now and it's up to the others to prove themselves and take over.
We have a long way to go to be supporting a Liberal at this stage.
Why surrender? Why not fight?
You say,
"The issue is IF Rudy is the nominee will he get ALL of our support.
"Those that have the best interests of this country in mind will have to say YES."
I think the problem that acquiescence and enthusiasm are both forms of support. If Republicans unenthusiastically acquiesce, and the 'Rats turn out as usual, you get a repeat of 2006. (and Hillary/Obama/some other Maxist totalitarian to be named later.)
If Rudy is the nominee, the money I usually contribute to the Republican Party will all go to the NRA. If Rudy convinces them he deserves it, maybe they'll give him some. I hope that's all the support he'll need.
