There is a huge difference. Most here do not hate Rudy or even dislike him. We can admit that he did some good things. Cleaned the streets of NY, showed leadership post 9-11, etc. What we cannot abide by is a shift left in the party that is supposed to be the conservative party.
If you look at Rudy's record on judges as opposed to what he now says, he supported anything BUT originalists. He has nothing but kind words for the abilities of that commie dingbat Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
I am not understating the necessity to bring the party back to Reagan conservatism. It is our only long term hope. Caving to the dem positions on God, gays, affirmative action, global warming, 2nd amendment, etc is a recipe not only for the GOP decline, but for this nations decline.
Just ask the Tories in England after they rejected much of Thatcherism.
Well again, tho -- I don't agree Rud's anti-2nd ammend. Or anti-God. Gays, I don't even understand why that's mentioned. Global Warming is all a joke, and I couldn't care less.
I don't personally see the same things you do.
