At this point, I'm not even certain a mayor has the qualifications I want in a CIC, so all of the anti-Rudy posts mean little to me.

I like to wait until the first of the candidate debates before I settle on a favorite. I like to see who articulates his positions the best and who can handle himself in debates. I also like to hear all the good ideas brought forth and debated and the bad ideas debated a refuted.

As much as I am against Brownback's WOT positions, I want to hear his flat tax proposal in the debates. I can see "some" good in all of the GOP candidates.

FWIW, I do think the serial spamming and trashing are a waste of bandwidth and really only serve to inflame.

Pity a candidate were he reduced to spamming and unable to articulate his own views. Ditto for supporters and detracters of various candidates.

As opposed to the Rudy boosters ripping Reagan's legacy?

Or belittling pro-life groups as not wanting Roe v. Wade overturned, lest the donations stop?

Or claiming that those opposed to Rudy are against the military?

I've seen all that. If anything, the Romney supporters are much better. They (and he) at least realize they have to bridge the entire party. The Rudy boosters seen to think they can tell the right wing to go pound sand and that core right-wing values are a hinderance to winning the White House.

And that, quite frankly, is why you see this kind of response. I was not as driven against Rudy until I saw the hammers coming out against Reagan's legacy.
