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.

Good call. Me too. Pro-Illegal Immigration

As Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics has pointed out, Rudy is an adherent of the same approach to illegal immigration that John McCain, Ted Kennedy, George Bush, and Harry Reid have championed:

"While McCain has taken heat for his support of comprehensive immigration reform, Rudy is every bit as pro-immigration as McCain - if not more so. On the O'Reilly Factor last week Giuliani argued for a "practical approach" to immigration and cited his efforts as Mayor of New York City to "regularize" illegal immigrants by providing them with access to city services like public education to "make their lives reasonable." Giuliani did say that "a tremendous amount of money should be put into the physical security" needed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border, but his overall position on immigration is essentially indistinguishable from McCain's."

That's bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and "America's Mayor" actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:

"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."

If you agree with the way that Nancy Pelosi and Company deal with illegal immigration, then you'll find the way that Rudy Giuliani tackles the issue to be right down your alley.

I used to give a lot to the NRA and its affiliates (I am an Endowment Member) but I quit when they made some really stupid moves here in Maryland as to who they endorsed and who they refused to endorse. In some cases, they refused to support an "A-" candidate when the opponent was a "D-" and in others they they supported a lower rated candidate apparently because he was the incumbent.

My advice to you my FRiend is to hand out your contributions yourself to candidates you support and not rely on someone else's judgment.

Donate your money as you see fit.

"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.)"

Anyone who is unenthusiastic about defeating those scumbags should vote for them. They are no better.
