So you and all the rest of the hard liners can abstain and Hillary's minions will get her elected while you sit around because the Republican candidate doesnt represent everything you stand for. There are more issues than abortion and gay marriage.
I'm definitely no hardline rightwinger. Like Reagan, I'm just a mainstream conservative. Conservatives have principles and while we do negotiate and compromise from time to time, we don't surrender basic core values and beliefs. Conservatives don't vote for pro-abortion liberals. We respect all human life, born or unborn. If you have a problem with that, too bad. I've voted GOP for 33 years. In that time I voted for one pro-choice candidate, because I thought it was right. That would be Gerald Ford in 1976. And we all know what happened to Ford.
I agree with your line of thought. Rudy is better than Hillary any day. If the people that are against Rudy don't turn out. Guess who the next president is.

There are very few, if any, issues where I agree with Rudy, actually. For many of us the only reason we are Republicans in the first place are issues like abortion and gay marriage. You forget that, you think that all social conservatives also agree with you on the other "republican" issues. They don't. For me, I also disagree with him on the right to keep and bear arms - where he is a clear anti, in addition to the other things you mentioned, and I hardly consider him a fiscal conservative, though he could at least pretend to run as such.
