Most likely because if Rudy wins the Republican nod it's a win/win for them. If Rudy is President they get a Liberal, if She who wears the pants is President they get a liberal.
They also know that if Rudy gets the nod it's an almost certainty that Pants will win. 10-15 percent of the Conservative vote is Christian(they will never support a Pro-Abort/Pro-Gay candidate), at least 60 percent of the voting public, Democrats and Republicans, are gun rights supporters(They would never support an Anti-Second amendment politician like Rudy).
It's almost as if Rudy is being forced down our throats so that we will lose in 2008.
What if Rudy stated that 9/11 had changed his views and then moved more into the Conservative camp by abandoning those positions listed; how do you think he would fair then?
I heard Richard Miniter being interviewed on the radio Friday A.M. He writes for National Review Online and is author of "The Shadow War", "Disinformation" and "Losing Bin Laden - How Bill Clinton's failure's unleashed global terror"
He is well conected in political circles.
He stated that Rudy is getting the Social Conservative Republicans in Michigan to write checks to his campaign. They hear what he has to say and they are liking it. If he's able to get Michigandrs to no only support him, but write checks, he should be able to get the same results countrywid
Many Christians would much rather have Rudy for president than Hillary; even if some people on FR have already said that hey WILL vote for her.
What nonsense. They hated his guts because hes NOT a liberal. If he was President of the whole country he's be 10 times as conservative as the ineffectual Bush
