Alberta,
Thanks for the ping. I am a realist and looking at the history in the party, the guy that is leading a year before has been the nominee. I have to "cleanse" my heart knowing that I did everything possible to help A nominee that is not only a fiscal conservative but a social one as well. His stance on guns, abortion and gays is driving me NUTS, JUST, freak'n NUTS. IMO VIEW HE HIS IS NOW THE "GAG" CANDIDATE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY......GUNS-ABORTION-GAY------"GAG" CANDIDATE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
I truly at this point believe we as "true Conservatives" are going through a grieving period. If you look at recent polling, 30+ percent of registered republican voters do not believe abortion and gay marriage is a big deal. I believe the party is being redefined. Maybe that is why Rudy got in so early, knowing his "curb appeal" to general electorate but also knowing his polarizing views to the base. Let everyone cry and bleed, get the base used to "this is now our world" and get over it.

True, President Bush is pro-choice and has not made a difference in this area. True, President Bush is pro-gun, he is now faced with a Congress that can and is trying to make a change. The lesson here is Congress and State rights and the SCOTUS. Can Rudy impact that? Maybe.

Only an idiot will put their head in the sand and not recognize what the movement is in the country. This is reality and I do not believe it is "bump" in this election. I believe that his polling will only get stronger.

Reagan understood politics. The W.O.T. terror and POSSIBLY THREE SCOTUS are at stake. This is the REAL RE-DEFINING moment in history.

I am really torn. Hunter is the guy, reality says we should not waste resources or money. McVain and Romney has the same chance as I have.

Reality.....it's a bitch, put a stick in your mouth, bite down and take the pain. Take the pain!!!
VOTE FOR YOUR GAG CANDIDATE........Pepto-TUMS will help!
