"This is one conservative, pro-life Republican who would be very happy to vote for Rudy for President."
And I am another.
What Rudy-bashers should understand is that, at least in my case, I do not endorse Rudy's stance on many issues, but I understand them - and I do NOT, in these dangerous times, let them act as a deterrent to voting for him.
These are dangerous times, dangerous times. Rudy's leadership is PROVEN in the pressure-cooker bastion of liberalism that is New York City.
It's not lip service - his ACTIONS speak for themselves. Yes, including suing a gun manufacturer, whom he believed was indirectly responsible for the death of cops. Rudy is nothing if not fiercely pro-cop.
I would vote for ANY Republican before I would stay home and let Hillary pollute the White House yet again. You want to oppose Rudy? Oppose him in the primaries. But if he IS the Republican nominee, and you stay home rather than support him, who is the real RINO?
If a registered Republican doesn't vote for the Republican candidate, it's the quintessential definition of Republican in name only.
What could be more RINO-esque than NOT voting for the Republican candidate?
Yeah, Rudy was so cognizant of such that he pushed a corrupt crony for the most important anti-terror job in the country.
>>>>>And I am another.
Yeah right! You and that other Staten Island sellout, Vito Fossella.
Lets throw conservatism overboard, political expediency comes FIRST! Rudy is da'man.... BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
What a joke.
Uh... that's what we're trying to do. The problem is, it's an uphill battle as the RINO GOP leadership (yes, I have no problem calling them that as the party lurches further and further left) and the MSM cheerleaders annoint Rudy as our one and only. It's simply disappointing to see so many on this board shout down debate on who our candidate should be by positing the bogeymen of Obama and Hillary. After we find a candidate we can unite around, we turn to face our foes. Not doing so is going off half-cocked... and that is no way to win a fight.
Be skeptical of the media. They do not cheer Rudy for the benefit of the GOP. They do so because they see he will be easy to crush for Hillary. Even if they don't, the true believers won't vote for anyone without a (D) next to their name. If the GOP goes leftward, they aren't going to peal voters from the (D), just lose support on the right. That, again, is a recipe for electoral disaster.
