A crock. The majority, if not all of us are pro life and support the 2nd Amendment. I guess you've missed my posts about those matters. Maybe you should educate yourself a little bit before you make such blanket and provably ridiculous statements.
When you call people who don't agree with you about all the issues or about a candidate, I think you're projecting when you call people liberals.
Fair enough, Peach. I apologize.
But why do the pro-Rudy people constantly refer to the conservatives here in such belittling terms, and say how glad they are that us social conservatives are finally going to be kicked out of the GOP?
It's like they like Rudy more for what he represents, i.e., clearing social conservatives out of the GOP, as Arnold is doing in California, than what his positions are.
I would LIKE to be enthusiastic about the GOP's chances in '08. I've been a life-long Pubblie, starting when I was 13 yrs. old and campaigned door to door in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa for John Schmitz, and I served two terms as an elected precinct person, so...if there really IS something to favor about Rudy (BESIDES his electability vis a vis Hitliary!!) I would like to read it.
But so far, most of what I read talks about his polling numbers, and how he's really not as bad as his past positions seem to indicate.
THAT sort of stuff does not get the base excited, and believe me, I know the base...I AM the base, at least here in my small southern Oregon county, where I have made countless calls throughout the years to people on behalf of Pubbie candidates and have walked countless precincts passing out flyers for numerous campaigns and candidates.
All I was saying is, if all y'all really support Rudy for reasons OTHER than "thank God the whole-loafer, dragging-down-the-party Social Conservatives will be kicked out or rendered moot," let's discuss them with cordiality and respect.
I do remember Rudy from his days as mayor, by the way, and he was great...I just know he is a liberal in ways that disturb us social conservatives.
