I am speaking for myself. Thats my opinion. You don't like it, too bad! JimRob has already denounced Rudy Giulinai`s candidacy as him being far too liberal to gain the GOP nomination. What "real" conservative wants wants a big govt, pro-abort, anti-gun, pro-gay, pro-illegal at the top of the GOP ticket? Lets stop talking about selling out just to win. Besides, the right cosnervative can win. Everytime Republicans choose the lesser of two evils, we always lose.
During the Cal recall campaign, Jim was backing Tom McClintock, not Arnold. 1-2 days before the election he announced he would be voting for Arnold. Here we are with 22 months to go and Jim is speaking out loudly. That counts for something, but its still only one vote. Conservatives will not vote for Rudy in the primaries. Wanna bet?
Maybe it won't be Gingrich, Hunter or Tancredo who conservatives back in the end. But it definitely won't be Rudy Giuliani.
Your second post:

Your second post disproves the first. JimRob started out backing McClintock and switched late for good reasons. YOU said that "in the end" conservatives DEFINITELY won't support Giuliani. I called you out for speaking for conservatives, and you replied you were speaking for yourself.
I am not so presumptuous as to make blanket statements on who anybody will support in November 2008, or in the primaries, and I don't buy the argument that conservatives won't vote for Rudy. Some will. In fact, and it pains me to say this, some will vote for Barack Obama because he looks good or he has a deep voice or because it would be (as Dirty Harry put it in "The Enforcer") "Very Stylish" to vote for a black candidate. Not every voter out there - conservative or otherwise - is always motivated by a particular agenda. It's just not that simple.
