"Let me put it in simple terms for you: Rudy stands strongly for issues that the vast majority of the Republican party finds anathema."
Really? So the republican party doesn't like law and order, smaller government and lower taxes? I must have missed that memo.
"The NRA and GOA will not endorse him."
So what? Did they endorse Bill Clinton (to use your example)?
"The Pro-life groups will not endorse him. "
Again, so what? Who says you need the pro-lifers on your side to win a national election?
"The pro-family groups like Focus on the Family and CWA will not endorse him."
Yes, a sordid personal life. Sooo important in electoral politics. If I remember, RR was divorced. Having been a Hollywood actor, I'm sure he had a ton of gay friends and associates. None of that disqualified him for President. All this means is that there is a legion of self-important busybodies passing judgement on someone else's life. You can stop before you post the "What kind of example" is this routine: setting examples is for parents, when it comnes to what our children grow up beliving. if I had to guess, I'm certain that at leasr half of those folks have their own skeletons.
"The border-control groups will not endorse him."
Remains to be seen, and a faulty argument in any case. The Mayor of NYC is not responsible for the enforcement of immigration law, the federal goverment is, and if Guiliani didn't pay as much attention to it as you say he should have, perhaps it was because when he took over, there were mor epressing problem (like 2,000 murders a year, a crack epidemic and attendant violence, etc). Being a Native New Yorker whogrew up here in the 70's-90's, I can tell you that illegal immigration wasn't even on anyone's radar screen, when walking out of your own front door on a daily basis was an iffy proposition.
Keep trying, though.
