I'd take Rudi over McCain and Hillary. Even though he is a gun-grabbing, pro-choice, gay-rights advocate. I hope it doesn't come to that. In fact, I think Rudi will not run.

If it would come to Rudy running as GOP presidential candidate against Hilarity, there would be a very big and very active 3rd Party conservative candidate come forth. I would vote for that person. I am dismayed that many Freepers would give up their basic political tenents anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-gay etc. so easily. I am glad you guys weren't around in 1776, we would all still be British subjects.

- I'm with you there and I would add that I believe that a Rudy/Rice combination would sweep Hitlery's chances into the dustbin of history.
As for Rudy's stance on gay marriage, guns and abortion, he need only declare that in all three cases that while he may personally support these issues to some extent or other, he believes that ultimately they are "states rights" matters and should be decided at that level and not the federal.
This would take them off the table insofar as a federal election issue and probably would be enough of a concession to satisfy all but the most rabid right wingers in the Republican base.
