I love Rudy. I wish he had run for governor here instead of holding out for President. He'd be a great governor. (I think Faso would be good, too, but in the People's Republic of New York, only the easily recognizable seem to get elected.)

The last thing we need is more social liberalism in the Republican Party, and Rudy is very much a social liberal. With the administration careening toward making the next two years be the fifth and sixth years of Bush the Elder's administration, the last thing we need is for the party to follow them over the cliff.

Over pandering to the Social Conservatives is one of the reasons we lost

The abortion issue went down in flames in South Dakota, Stem Cells past in Missouri, Dick DeVos was leading in Michigan until he started talking creationism nonsense, Rick Santourum lost by almost 20 points and is now unemployed, and even beyond Tuesday's disaster, The Kansas School Board members who pushed creationism mythology over science were defeated in the Republican primary, And if that whole embarrassing brain dead women thing happen in this past October or September instead of January 2005 we would have lost 10-20 senate seats and 50-100 house seats at minimum.

And of course the Theocrat's golden boy, ex-judge Roy Moore suffered a humiliating defeat by almost 40 points also in a Republican Primary in Alabama and now that buffoon wallows in obscurity writing poetry.

Now if Roy Moore couldn't win or even come close in Alabama and the pro-life issue couldn't win in South Dakota, what does that say about needing more Theocrats to run?
