Typical leftist tactic, calling those in opposition to liberalism "haters."

These tactics are more evidence of the disturbed Rudy cultists. Cognitive dissonance is used in politics is very similar to the way it is applied in cults.....such as Scientology.

Those of us who don't immediately agree to vote for Giuliani in November 2008 are depicted as a "problem." We are constantly ridiculed, demeaned, and accused of hate.

Same insidious tactics used by Scientologists to get others to bend to the cult.

Posting "dissonance" is intended to hammer an intellectual nail into established conservative beliefs so as to create a "new reality."

The desired result is to discredit and marginalize conservatives......so as to strengthen the Rudy cult.

Funny. As one who supports Rudy, I'd say those are the tactics of those who vehemently oppose him. I guess it's all a matter of perspective. Either that, or one of us is "projecting."

I think Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani should get divorces and then just go ahead and get married to each other...

Then we could have two liberal New York lawyers in the Whitehouse rotting the country from the inside out..

Devastating post, Liz.

These people don't get it.

Many of us conservative Republicans have been battling liberalism for our entire adult lives. Some of us started even earlier!

Today, many Republicans believe its right and proper to accept a political reality outside the conservative mainstream. These people have no real comprehension of what it means to stand by ones principle and personal integrity. Caving into the liberal agenda is the same as accepting the Democratic Party platform.

Actually your problem may be reading comprehension.

I've been on most, if not all, of the Rudy threads. The vast majority of Rudy FReepers (with a ping list well over 140 or so now) have consistenly said that we're quite okay if Rudy is not your choice.

I say that 10-20 times a day. It's okay if Rudy happens not to be your choice. He happens to be mine.

With very rare exceptions, I have not spoken against any of the other candidates.

On the other hand, Rudy and his supporters seems to be the one everyone loves to hate.

I haven't seen anybody saying "you" or your compatriots are a problem because you're not supporting Rudy.

You're a "problem" because you can't believe that conservatives are supporting Rudy. They are.

You're a "problem" because you can't believe Christians are supporting Rudy. They are.

Rudy supporters are being called RINOs, abortionists, gun-grabbers, pro-gay-agenda, liberals, leftists, socialists, Marxists and more.

THAT'S why you're a "problem."

I don't care who you support. Find a candidate and talk 'em up.

It's not OUR fault that Rudy is the only one making news.
