ss, when you decided to write "far right" (assuming this is your term for genuine conservatives -- you know, those who would get 90%+ ratings from from American Conservative Union) did you know you were refering to founders and the great, great share of posters in FreeRepublic.com?

No, I didn't know that at all.

By "far right," I mean one-issue voters who, no matter how the candidate stands on other issues, if he doesn't support their one issue, they won't vote for him.

As for the founders, that's your opinion; nobody knows how the founders would vote in a nation threatened by terrorists.

And, I've seen plenty of people on FR say they would vote for Guiliani for president over Hillary Clinton, if that's the choice.

You wouldn't vote for Rudy over Hillary? You'd risk putting that witch into office?

ss, it would be a freak occurrence if Guliani were to be nominated by Republican primary and caucus voters. I'm not at all sure you know how liberal he is.

If one candidate were a Republican and the other a Democrat and they both favored killing off Jews, would you vote for the Republican?

Honestly, unless there were no other candidates even close, I don't think most conservatives would vote for Rudy in the primary.

I'd like to think we are better than the Dems; that we don't just vote for someone because we think he is the only guy who can beat the challenger.

I'd like to think we vote on conscience (not unconscious), and for the person that most closely follows the ideals set forth for this nation by our Founding Fathers.
