2 -- Legal reform. A clear political, legitimate use of federal power.
3 -- Welfare reform, making sure the money spent on welfare isn't wasted. A clear political, legitimate use of federal power.
4 -- Tax and legal reform. Again, a clear political, legitimate use of federal power.
What you *don't* see is any mention of abortion. Or gays. Or vice (except with reference to children, a clear difference).
No 'personal' issues. No 'social' issues.
To put a very fine point on it -- if Rudy came out and supported 100% of the CwA, but said he was still for gay rights and still pro-choice, the social Cs here would call him a Liberal.
Do you see the problem?
I see you ignoring the issues of the debate. The CWA was crystal clear. I knew where you were attempting to go with this line of replies. Sorry, I don't buy it.
To add some context to this debate. Social conservatives are the majority of the Republican Party. If a GOP candidate wants to become POTUS, he/she better have an established record that is consistent with limited govt, anti-gun control, pro-life, anti-illegal amnesty and anti-special rights for homos. These are huge issues. So is the WOT. The WOT is the #1 issue. There are Republican candidates who support the WOT and who support social and fiscal conservatism. Rudy doesn't support the GOP platform in that regard. I don't buy what Rudy is selling. Period.
