Of course it's a free country and people can vote for who they want.

But I'm also free to call them retards for allowing that woman into power because Giuliani doesn't think gays should be outlawed (like I should give a crap what those people do in their own homes).

I'm a conservative, i.e. I don't want government telling me what to do, or anyone else what they should do in their own homes. If people don't like Rudy's social policies, do they think allowing Hillary (whose social positions are far worse) to win in order to "send a message" will achieve ANYthing?

Yes it sends the message, "I am tired of being burned by the GOP so I am going to set my self on fire".

If you think that's the big reason for people opposing rudy, then you may want to watch the names you're slinging, mr. pot.

Reasons to oppose rudy:
1. Pro illegal immigration - fought to maintain NY as a 'sanctuary city' against the federal government.
2. Pro roe v wade, even pro public funding of abortions.
3. Gun grabber. Proposed federal 'assault weapons' ban. Wants federal handgun licensing - and I'm sure which will be as strict as NY city, which means it will be next to impossible to get a handgun.
4. Pro campaign finance reform.
5. Has a pattern as a statist willing to violate the first amendment - lost several court cases on those grounds while mayor of NY city

Then there's the other little things - kerik, questionable consulting things, "one in a million" draft exemption based on his absolute unique abilities as a law clerk, etc etc etc.

Rudy is one of thes candidate the MSM wants the republicans to run. You should be asking yourself why that is.

You say that you're a conservative. Why would any conservative vote for a liberal?

They are the exact same social policies. They always were.

Why should people waste the time to vote for a Xlinton clone with a big R?
