You said:

I'll support whoever wins the GOP nomination....and I'll support Rudy for that nomination because I think that

a. He would be the best president in the WOT of the crop of candidates and

b. He can beat Hitlary

Now look at what I posted earlier today:

"I see three basic claims being made by the RudyBots:

1. Rudy is a security expert, tough on terrorism,
2. He isn't John McCain,
3. He can beat Hillary."

Its like I was reading your mind. LOL

Problem. What else is there? Rudy is completely wrong on the social issues and he's nothing more then another big government Republican. Haven't we had enough of big government Republicans? This conservative has had enough. I say, no thanks Rudy. I want limited government.

The President is not a legislature or the courts - which is where the 'social issues' are legislated. So the whole threat of his stated personal views on these issues is WAYYYY overblown.

Rudy knows that trying to impose those views is a recipe for defeat. He is nothing if not a shrewd, dollars and cents kind of guy. He will assure the social voters by appointing conservatives in the Judiciary (or he'd be a one-term president), and will veto anything too over the top that Congress passes.

So he won't be a Reagan or a GWB, but his ability - and even less so his desire - to affect these social issues is WAYYYYY overblown.

Where the President has a leading role is in defending this country. And anyone following his career knows that he can and will use the "iron fist" against our enemies. He did it with the criminals in NYC and he'll do it with al Quaeda abroad.

Remember that he personally (and privately, in dead seriousness) asked President Bush to be allowed to "throw the switch" if bin Laden was ever captured, tried and sentenced to death.

See the big picture folks. Hitlary's (or any Dems Federal Judges are the ones who will try to legislate (imm)morality; Rudy will appoint conservatives who won't. Or he'll be a one-termer, and I guarantee you that he is nothing if not a smart cookie. He is not an ideologue but a pragmatist. And pragmatism dictates that he govern as I have laid out above.

Hitlary, OTOH is a doctrinaire Marxist who believes is shoving her policies down your throat at any cost, consequences damned.

So when the police come to yoour door to tell you that you have to send your homeschooler to public school under the law just signed by Hitlary, you won't have me to blame for it - for I will walk over broken glass to vote against her.
