For some strange reason everyone is avoiding commenting on this great chart, which actually has the audacity to have sampled the voting public.

We are led to believe that SPIFFS SPIFFY excel chart is the real deal without any attribution of any kind as to its authenticity except SPIFF'S word, hmmmmm?

Right now it is still running mostly on name recognition.

[Reagan Man]

Rudy`s got huge name recognition, but not a conservative bone in his entire body. Rudy`s a lifelong liberal.

Conservatives DO NOT support big government. Rudy supports big government Republicanism. Conservatives DO NOT support gun control. Rudy supports gun control. Conservatives DO NOT support an assault weapons ban. Rudy supports an assault weapons ban. Conservatives DO NOT support abortion on demand. Rudy supports abortion on demand. Conservatives DO NOT oppose a ban on partial birth abortion. Rudy opposes a ban on partial birth abortion. Conservatives DO NOT support special rights for homos. Rudy supports special rights for homos. Conservatives DO NOT support amnesty for illegals. Rudy supports amnesty for illegals.

And conservatives don't vote for liberals. Not unless they've sold out their integrity and principles. Voting for the lesser of two evils only goes so far.
