Of course not, but people (I don't know if you are one) who threaten to defect which, objectively, would help Hillary Clinton become President, should Giuliani win the nomination, do deserve to be maligned.

Excuse me but did Reagan leave the Democrat party or did it leave him? The GOP is going to go Democrat-lite and call their detractors defective?! This is America. We have a freedom of conscience in this country. The political party is supposed to courting my support, not demanding it. It's a market-based system. If the "leadership" of the GOP thinks they can sell Rudy, let them try. Don't be surprised, though, when market share declines due to lack of market research.

The party is truly becoming Democratic when it demands my support rather than giving me an acceptable product. Consider our "mouthing off" in the primaries a desperate shout of market research.

"defective"? LOL. No. Defectors. People who defect, are called defectors, in the English language.

All this is true. You have freedom of conscience. I am simply questioning - as is my right - the wisdom of a conscience that would lead one to defect and opposte/not vote for Rudy Giuliani in a hypothetical election against Hillary Clinton. And you're not defending that choice/threat either, because you can't.

I totally agree. "Desperate" being the key word.
