You know folks laugh that RINO's are an endangered species, but you probably say that poll that more than half of the GOP voters would vote for Guiliani or McCain in 2008 in a primary. Sure it is early, and a name recognition thing, but I think it does show that GOP politics is more complex than one would get a feel of from this neighborhood. The message is that we need to get along with each other to survive as an effective political force to the extent we can.
AMEN. If we don't we are sunk. Plain and simple.
I vote for the Republican in almost every case, RINO or conservative in the elections. You know how I vote in primaries. But I won't send money to Republicans who hold what I consider to be positions beyond the pale on certain issues. I explained this to my Congressman on the phone one day. He was shocked when I called him an extremist for voting against a ban on PBA but we parted company amiably.
