I have a feeling that a President Rudy would break more promises than President Bush, but hopefully after the primaries we WILL get a REAL conservative to vote for who will WIN, and we won't have to worry about broken promises.
For people who don't think that Rudy pushing for civil unions is a big deal, I don't think they understand the gay agenda. It is incremental, like a frog slowly being boiled to death. FIRST you convince the masses that "civil unions" are fine, and it esculates.
Here are some examples of how the gay agenda is winning, but I hope that people will do their own research, as well:
"On March 10, Catholic Charities of Boston had announced that it was being forced to shut down its highly regarded adoption services, since it could not in good conscience comply with the government's demand that it place children for adoption with homosexual couples. Caught between the rock of Catholic teaching, which regards such adoptions as "gravely immoral," and Massachusetts regulations, which bar adoption agencies from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation, the Boston Archdiocese had hoped to obtain a waiver on religious-freedom grounds. But when legislative leaders refused to consider the request, the archdiocese was left with no option but to end a ministry it had been performing for a century.

Is this a sign of things to come? In the name of nondiscrimination, will more states force religious organizations to swallow their principles or go out of business? Same-sex adoption is becoming increasingly common, but it is still highly controversial. Millions of Americans would readily agree that gay and lesbian couples can make loving parents, yet insist nevertheless that kids are better off with loving parents of both sexes. That is neither a radical view nor an intolerant one, but if the kneecapping of Catholic Charities is any indication, it may soon be unsafe to express.
"As much as one may wish to live and let live," Harvard Law professor Mary Ann Glendon wrote in 2004, during the same-sex marriage debate in Massachusetts, "the experience in other countries reveals that once these arrangements become law, there will be no live-and-let-live policy for those who differ. Gay-marriage proponents use the language of openness, tolerance, and diversity, yet one foreseeable effect of their success will be to usher in an era of intolerance and discrimination.... Every person and every religion that disagrees will be labeled as bigoted and openly discriminated against. The ax will fall most heavily on religious persons and groups that don't go along. Religious institutions will be hit with lawsuits if they refuse to compromise their principles."
The ax fell on Catholic Charities just two years after those words were written. Where will it have fallen two years hence?"

ACLU Seeks Mandatory Homosexual Sensitivity Training 7/14/2005
By Robert Knight
Group goes to court in California, Kentucky to promote the “gay” agenda in schools.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing school districts in California and Kentucky in an attempt to force them to conduct mandatory homosexual appreciation sessions for students and staff.
In south Los Angeles, the ACLU of Southern California, along with the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), reached a settlement requiring mandatory attitudinal training at Washington Preparatory High School.
“The training is a model for the state,” said Christine Sun, staff attorney for the ACLU of Southern California, in a press release.

In July, the National Education Association (NEA) will vote on new resolutions designed to encourage and promote the idea that teachers across the nation should increase their efforts in furthering the homosexual agenda in schools.
Specifically, the new resolutions encourage the development of curriculum to
“meet the needs of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender students (GLBT),”
solicit the “involvement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender educators in developing” classroom instructional material,
disseminate programs that support GLBT students,
recognize GLBT teachers as “role models,”
encourage teaching students about GLBT people throughout history, and
coordinate with GLBT organizations to promote the “heritage, culture, history, health and care of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.”
