Well a case can be made for just who hijacked this party from whom. I am not a liberal, pal. I am a person who believes in most of the platform. Funny how the GOP had no problem allowing Rudy, Arnold, Pataki and others to speak to the Republican National Convention. They are part of our party and I would suggest that if you are so unhappy go elsewhere. I supported GWB, with eyes wide open. He's bashed for not being as conservative as Reagan, well he never said he was. I am fine with that.

"Well a case can be made for just who hijacked this party from whom."
It just really burns you up that the conservatives started to take over the party in the 70s. You want "your" party back, don't you? You know, the party that didn't win. The party doomed to remain in the shadow of the Dems. The party of the Northeast liberals who didn't want to dirty themselves by actually being Democrats, but acted like them.
The party that Goldwater drove a stake into and Reagan hammered it home.
"I am a person who believes in most of the platform."
Rudy doesn't.
"Funny how the GOP had no problem allowing Rudy, Arnold, Pataki and others to speak to the Republican National Convention. "
The RNC (Republican National Committee) is not the Party, in the end. Pat Buchanan has spoken at the GOP Convention too...
"They are part of our party and I would suggest that if you are so unhappy go elsewhere"
If we do this, the Republicans lose and you'll only have your side to blame for it.
Rudy is pro-illegal, big-spending, pro-abortion, and pro-gun-control. There's nothing for a conservative to support there. At least the President has SOME conservative positions. Considering Rudy's personal opinions on the issues, I would have little confidence in any pledge to elect conservative judges, either. Basically, if Rudy loses in '08, the Democrats win. If Rudy wins in '08, the Democrats win. No sale.
