"Are you frightened that we are having discussions about Guiliani's views in forum threads?"

Heh! Of course not! I just think some people here are totally freaking out. It has gone beyond debate to ridiculous fear-mongering and party-splitting. Some of these critics are coming off poorly and their message is getting lost in their emotional rhetoric.

From everything I've seen and read, Rudy is not supporting party-splitting. It is a vocal fringe element that is advocating a split. For me, I'm interested in all candidates and will support the party selection no matter how much I disagree philosophically with that person. I will not support a democrat by withholding my Republican vote.

I think that Rudy supporters are totally writing all opposition off as being 'the fringe element'. There is always a 'fringe element' ready to go off on any topic. Those people are loud and sometimes obnoxious, but there are very many reasonable Freepers who have objections to Rudy being our President. Take a look at the Freeper polls. We aren't fear-mongerers and we don't want a candidate that is so divisive that he does split the party. 'The Party' has not picked our nominee yet. This is the time to discuss our choices for nominee and to discuss their views on the issues that are important to each of us.
