I know. But on the flip side, there are many moderates who will vote Republican if it's Rudy.
The 'sildent majority' that won the 1972 election was just traditional, decent americans, of which conservatives were a subset.
Same thing in 1984.
Same thing in 2004, except there were fewer of them.
"The Dog and His Bone" is one of Aesop's many instructive fables. It's about a dog carrying a bone in his mouth. As he was crossing a footbridge over a stream and happened to glance into the water, he saw his own reflection. Thinking it was another dog with a bigger bone, the greedy dog growled and said to himself, "I'll get that bone, too." When he opened his mouth to take the bone, his own bone fell into the water, never to be seen again.
and if Rudy is elected president over a democRAT, there will be what noticeable difference?
Who cares how many people vote for Rudy the "republicrat" if he is not going to bring conservative values and leadership to the table!
