If he does become the nominee, would you take that as a signal that the GOP has changed direction? I really don't know what's going to happen next year.

We've seen the GOP become too soft on growth of government and irresponsible spending, repudiating our stands on those subjects. If we pick a nominee that entirely repudiates everything the party has stood for on abortion and sodomy and gun rights, then what exactly do we have left? Just some quivering people who think Rudy might win a war in Iraq or protect us from terrorism at home?

Rudy will destroy everything most of us have ever stood for. We will be left, as Reagan was when he changed from Dim to GOP, saying, "I didn't leave the party, they left me."

And that is the truth. For many of us, smaller government, balanced budgets, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, those are the positions that make us identify with the GOP.

Beyond that, at a time when we have managed to pass DOMA and PBA legislation and have managed to get CCW legislation in so mamy states, why should we vote for a candidate that represents us on nothing? Well, except for some wishful fantasy that he might save our worthless hides from Achmed's bomb.

This is very similar to the California recall with Ahnold vs. McClintock. Remember all those folks who said they must have Ahnold, only Ahnold can beat the Dim, etc.? Notice how they no longer defend him since he is governing as a Dim and talks about being 'post-partisan'? And then Rudy goes out there and praises him as a 'progressive leader' and then shoots off his mouth saying that Owl Gore didn't go quite far enough on global hotting?

No, Rudy is just wrong for the GOP. He's dead wrong for conservatives.
