I can't, however, agree with them that the WoT is SO important, that we can afford to give a liberal RINO a pass to the presidency.
RINO-rudy's support of gun-control (a Constitutional issue) and abortion (as much a MORAL issue as a religious one) is a deal killer for me, and MANY like me.
With these things on the table, I'm not focusing on issues like gay marriage (though I think the traditional definition and application should remain between a man and a woman), and I'm certainly not worried about gambling at this point.
I think we can find a real, Conservative (with a capitol "C") that will be tough on the WoT, AND believe in, and support and defend our CORE issues.
Why settle for a RINO when we can have the real deal?
I'd take Hunter, Pence, Huckabee, Tancredo, Newt, or most anyone else over ANY of the three supposedly in front now.
Pence, Tancredo and Newt are good, but I don't know how strong they will be in the general election. Hunter is weak on fiscal issues and trade, and Huckabee is a full-blown tax-raising cigarette-hating RINO. But I will vote for anyone who favors the WOT.
As for deal-killers, what would you do if the election was between these two candidates?
A conservative who is pro-choice (and conservative on all other issues)
A liberal who is prolife (and liberal on all other issues).
I would vote for the conservative.
