And, I don't consider myself a one-issue voter. But, good grief, with just about everything I really, really care about... borders, 2nd-Amendment, civil unions, abortion, and such, it seems that Rudy is on the opposite side. Then, were he to receive the nomination, there'll undoubtedly be, along the way to the election, a steady drumbeat of stomach-churning stories about adultery and mistresses and such. I just can't swallow all that. It's just way too much. And, I'm a lifelong Republican who has always voted for the "R" candidate. But, I'll just have to consider some 3rd-party option, if Rudy is the nominee.

He certainly is opposed to the majority of what Republicans and the Party Platform stand for:

Looks pretty accurate to me.

Looks pretty accurate to me.

I think your chart comparing Rudy!'s positons with the dem-o-rats and Republican party platforms is the best in-a-nutshell facts in one place. Keeps it short and simple.
