He won't split the base, period!
***The FR poll is a poll of the socon base.
I didn't call you a fringe voter.
***No, you call the 2/3 of freepers who said they wouldn't vote for a Solib to be fringe. That's most freepers. Again we go to the why-bother question, which has an answer in that we are not the fringe. You want to know where Rudy is over-the-top on the fringe? In his support for partial birth abortion. Typical polls nationwide show 90% or better approvals for PBA bans, but Rudy is on record against the ban. That's a fringe candidate. He's doomed. Even Hillary can run to the right against him on some issues.
I said any Republican that didn't vote for Rudy in a Rudy vs. Hillary matchup is a fringe voter, at least in my opinion.
***And in my opinion, most rudophiles are certainly not socons, but are RINOs for the most part.
I don't know what you would do in that situation. I've never heard you say.
***That's because it is false dilemma reasoning. It's an invalid question to ask at this stage.
I do know many anti-Rudy people on here have said they would vote for Rudy if he wins the nomination to keep Hillary out. I question how much you understand about politics if you think a FR poll is scientific.
***Where did I say the FR poll was scientific? How about all the scientific polls that had Bill Sali losing by such a wide margin?
"In his support for partial birth abortion."
He is against partial birth abortions, contrary to the misinformation some on here are posting. On Hannity Rudy said “Partial-birth abortion, I think that's going to be upheld(by the USSC). I think that ban is going to be upheld. I think it should be.” And as soon as Rudy got finished saying this, Hannity acknowledged, “There's a misconception that you supported partial-birth abortion”. So there we have, Rudy is against partial birth abortions.
He's for strict constructionist judges. Ted Olsen said that Rudy has been for strict constructionist since their time together in the Reagan Justice Department in the 1980s. Ted Olsen has no reason to lie.
You know Rudy is conservative on most non-social issues. An FR is poll is not scientific and can in no way tell you anything about what the American electorate is feeling. There is not point in even using it at all because it proves NOTHING!! It indicates nothing. Anyways, you have your view, I have mine, lets just leave it at that. We'll find out what happens soon enough anyways.
