Well, coming on here and posting over and over and over again that you will bolt the party if Rudy gets the nod does seem like bullying, threatening, intimidating tactics, to me.
We all have our breaking point. If McCain got the nod, I would not vote for him. But does that mean I'd react like post 189/199 when asked about it?
My friend, I respect ya'lls opinion. Rudy isn't my first choice, Newt is. Altho I do believe Rudy would do a good job, so if he gets the nod, I'd vote for him.
I don't think he'd grab guns, I think his policies in NY were geared to NY, and he wouldn't apply them to the nation. I personally don't care about gays, or abortion. I think he's shown he's a good manager, and he's tough on crime/defense. We could do worse.
It is a fact though, not a threat, that millions of staunch conservatives will not vote for a liberal leader. In my post 161, I laid out a short list of items that are not "social conservative" positions, but simply conservative positions, that Rudy does not ascribe to.
Should the party promote a candidate because the MSM considers him to be the best, or should the party promote the guy who most closely reflects its platform and Reaganism?
This is a battle for the soul of the party
