So, anyone who disagrees with your dictates as to what constitutes a Republican is a traitor/RINO. As I stated before, Rudy stood by the Republican Party in the face of unrelenting hostility from DemonRats in NYC. It's very easy to be a Conservative when you are in an area of the country where you are surrounded by fellow Conservatives. I am a Conservative in an area of the country where the Left reigns supreme. NYC is a cesspool of Leftist insanity. Rudy did what he had to do to get the things he wanted done. He certainly was not a fake Republican like Bloomberg. Rudy got tremendous support from Staten Island Conservatives while he was Mayor. We helped to get him elected and re-elected. We loved him for his courage and strength in resisting the forces in this city that are now turning it back into a Leftist sewer.
