"If Giuliani is nominated, I hope the GOP is prepared to go it alone -- without the support and votes of their base. Pro-abortion, gun-grabbing and pro-homosexual marriage views are going to send the media slobbering and the GOP packing for yet another four years."

Where do I begin. Let's start with pro-homo. He's AGAINST gay marriage. Now as far as homos go, personally, I disagree with their life style but as long as they do what they do in the privacy of their own home I don't care and nobody else should either, especially not the federal government. As far as abortion goes, we have a pro-life President now but we are still having abortions. No president has the power to stop abortion. Rudy has already said he supports strict constructionist judges like John Roberts and if he does that then maybe Roe v. Wade will get overturned. But even if it does get overturned I hope you're not naive enough to think that would stop all abortions. The abortion issue would then revert back to the states and do you really think California would outlaw abortions? Being pragmatic in our thinking we all know we can't completely stop abortions. So therefore this point is basically moot. As far as anti-gun goes, he's not going to push for more gun control. Are the Democrats doing that now? No. Nobody has since the 2000 election and nobody will. Now lets review history. World War II ended in 1945. SEVEN years later in 1952 the most popular general of the war, Dwight Eisenhower, won in a landslide despite far right extremist Republicans not supporting him in the primaries. History always repeats itself.

Interesting point about Ike-he was a moderate, not liked by "The base" of his day, who won the nomination when Taft released his delegates to him.

As for the social conservatives, catering exclusively to them was part of the reason why the GOP lost this round.

Well then, if he wants the nomination, he better damn well state he is not anti 2nd Amendment, not pro-abortion and not pro gay marriage. Now how hard is that? If he does not do this soon, he is not going anywhere. Simple.

The heck of it is, they don't keep it in their bedrooms. They've basically been given a free hand to sexually harass children during school hours under the guise of "tolerance and diversity training".

Until that stops, I fight everything they do and try to do and anybody that aids and abets.
