It will be Rudy.
Conservative enough, or NOT.
the only other option?
Hillary.
and if conservatives stay home or jump to third parties on principle?
Then we may lose.
It's that simple.
It's about time the three percenters who keep taking credit for this election and threatening to leave "if this or that" doesn't happen their way, to start acting out...
Yup, we need their vote.
Nope they don't run or even control the majority of the party. The pubbies were once the minority party. We may be again.
the holy roller 'my way or no way' folks will FOREVER have to vote between the available selection of 'bad,' and 'not as bad'... all out 'baby killers' or 'life and health of mother' pro choicers.
it's that simple.
And Rudy will MOST likely be the man.
And if he is, he will win, with or without the 'abortion is my primary issue' folks in our party.
We here at freerepubic do NOT represent the core of the republican party. We have a lot of constitutional party members, a lot of libertarian types, and a lot of middle of the extreme right wingers.
NONE Of which runs the republican party.
The republican party will pick who can win.
Whether we like it, or hate it.
End of story.
If bush does not get at least two conservative, prolife judges on the supreme court... our window of opportunity will have been lost, for our lifetimes.
Lay off the Kool-Aid, pal. It's making you irrational.
