Because he has an "R" by his name.
I really don't know why some people post here and claim to be conservatives. No, there is no such thing as a perfect conservative. But when someone is pro-choice, pro-spending, pro-tax hikes, pro-Global warming environmentalist, pro-amnesty, pro gay marriage, pro embryonic stem cell, pro government...how stupid do they think we have to be to believe he's a conservative and we're just acting out of spite because he's not "pure".
Some of these people were furious when i supported Leiberman, and on some issues leiberman is more conservative then this liberal they are pushing. Difference was? I didn't claim Leiberman was a conservative. i didn't LIE. nor did I try to get him into the Republican party. I did what we're supposed to do. Support conservatives in the GOP, and support pro-Americans in the other party. of which there is only one anyway while the other choices were anti-American in that race.
Truth is pragmatists is another word for Liberal carriers, and they don't care a wit about the mission statement of this site only getting their "R" into office. being they know the leadership is NOT led by Conservatives and more often then not pushes the Liberal in the primary, their agenda is fairly obvious.
Opposition to Rudy is more then led by ONE issue, it's led by every plank of the Republican party except pro-defense. If we are going to vote for a Liberal that has only one redeeming value, let's go recruit Leiberman. He has already proven he can retain enough Dems and Indy's against another Dem to win. And he, at least, has a cleaner personal life.
Ouch!
That's going to leave a mark!
