I suspect that there are several reasons for calling yourself "Republican", obviously, not everyone does so for the same reason we do.
"Republican" is more than just a string of letters, it has a concise and specific definition, maybe it is time to ask some folks just why they are hanging around!
Rudy has proven, over and over, that he hasn't a clue about the definition of the name he claims, how many chances do I have to give him?
Rudy left New York office with New York still in exactly the same European cesspool he found it in, maybe he should run for office in France!
