I didn't say anything about abandoning the items contained in the CWA. The CWA included fiscal, economic and social issues. The CWA was successful and helped to increase the number of seats the GOP ultimately gained. No one is talking about one issue here. If you look at Spiff`s chart, you'll see exactly where Rudy stands on ALL the issues. He is opposed to the vast majority of items contained in the GOP platform. Rudy opposes them because he is a liberal.
What 'social' issues?
Lower taxes, legal/criminal reform, etc. All the issues in the CwA were about govt infrastructure.
Calling Rudy a 'liberal' is exactly what I mean. He's a political conservative, as I understand it. Lower taxes, strong on crime, efficient manager.
But you're completely rejecting him, and won't even allow that he's a conservative.
If you want that to be the R party, then the R party's majority status will be a memory, in my opinion. I'm a solid political C, and you'd label me a liberal. So I, and the many like me, won't be a part of your party.
Good luck with that.
