Eh, it's a rant I've seen multiple times; it's a standard one that's C&Ped by people who are upset with others. Bit extreme for this occasion though.
Though your line about 'hallucinogenic drugs' is a bit out there. These are the primaries; there is no reason to put all support behind Rudy this early.
@everyone else
Call it fantasy all you want. The REAL FANTASY is thinking that rock ribbed conseravtives, not just social conservatives, are going to fall in line behind such a liberal candidate as Rudy.
Is support for the 2nd Amendment a "social conservative" position, or a constitutional conservative position? Do you think members of the NRA and GOA are going to support Rudy. He is PATHETIC when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.
Is flatly rejecting the socialist agenda called "global warming" a social conservative position, or a THINKING conservative position? Rudy just admonished ALgore for not going after the supposed perps of global warming in his film, An Inconvenient Truth. The fact that Rudy was stupid enough to sit thru that garbage, much less believe it should disqualify him from the GOP nomination, though it could help him get the dem nomination.
Is being opposed to partial birth abortion, better known as infantacide, strictly the domain of social conservatives? Hell frickin NO. Even most dems understand when they see a child being extracted and having its brains vacuumed out is cold blooded murder. Yet, Rudy opposed the Presidents push to enact the ban on this abomination.
Is supporting the Bush tax cuts as social conservative position, or a fairly typical republican position? Well, Rudy was opposed, thinking them irresponsible. I see he changed his tune since, but the man who shows weak knees when it mattered and when the tax cuts passing congress was still up in the air.
Is preferring Pataki for NY Governor over that lying communist Mario Cuomo a social conservative position, or a position that even liberal republicans preferred. Yet, the Mouth that roared, Guiliani, supported the communist.
Is being an adamant foe of Slick Willie a social conservative position, or a position ALL republicans should adhere to? Well, old Rudy got stars in his eyes around Slickster and even has stated that his policies are very similar to the socialist from Arkansas.
I don't even need to go into the other areas where strictly social conservatives would take issue with this liberal NY Mayor.
Does all of this mean that Rudy did not do some good things as mayor of NY. No. Nor does it mean I hate the guy. But waht it does mean is that his ascension WILL RIP THE PARTY APART. The Gop cannot afford to veer any farther left or it will lose the most conservative 1/3 of the party for good.
