Rudy would have to renounce his views on abortion, gay marriage, and immigration in order to get the nomination. I don't think he intends to do that.

Unfortunately you are quite correct. Personally, I look for leadership in a president. I really don't give a hoot about issues as far as the office of the POTUS goes. I want issues to reside in the party platform and in congress.

A democratically controlled congress is not about to pass laws against abortion or gay marriage, so that possibility is rather moot and foolish to even discuss. If Republicans manage to pass these laws amidst a Democrat controlled congress it would be nothing short of a miracle and I would expect Rudy to get religion and not veto legislation his own party passed regardless of his own personal convictions.

Rudy is a RINO. He cannot energize 30% of the US electorate which is conservative.Its too late not to undertand that the USA is divided by a cultural war in the fields of education, 2nd amendment , and 1st amendment rights, taxation and the economy,military spending, not to mention the environment. Today,abortion is way down on that list because so called moderate Republicans have become conservative Republicans in droves. The great moderate wash of the Republican party, predicted by the RINOs has not happened, and will not happen by 2008, if ever. The opposite has happened.

The RNC has already alienated its conservative base, without a conservative candidate, the conservatives will not vote or will write in the name of a conservative candidate in 2008, and Nov. 2006 was a message.

No conservative will vote for a RINO candidate, just because he wears a red tie. The gang of 14's "RINO" members abandoned the conservative legislative agenda, and cut the throat of every conservative politician that might offer them competition for the presidential nomination, thinking that there would be enough moderate Republicans to safely elect them as president. John McCain has become a pariah because of what he has done, and Rudy Giuliani is the laughing stock of conservatives, a poofter when a president like Reagan is needed.

The RINOs and their RNC soft cheeses were wrong, if anything ,more moderate Republicans have joined the conservative camp than anyone would have guessed, even months ago.

Only a died-in-the-wool, authenticated, bona fide, straight up conservative presidential ticket will bring the conservatives back to vote Republican, and there will be no Republican president in 2008 if that does not happen.

RINOplasty has taken on a whole new meaning.
