Thanks for the warm welcome!
I'm used to the flames since my personal political views are pretty similar to Rudy's. I am sometimes stirred to defend illegal immigrants; I don't think they're nearly as bad as Tom Tancredo's guys think.
And as for social issues, I can take them or leave them. I don't think they make much difference at the federal level anyway. No intelligent politician is going to take on social issues because there is so much fear, loathing and outright hatred on both sides.

Rudy is terrific; I've been reading about and watching him for about 17 years now and he's destined for great things.
Glad you're here.
