Well now, Al. What do you have to say about Joesbucks post? It's your contention that the party won't split because of the article that starts this thread. But Joesbucks goes right on ahead and openly admits to a candidate which is snubbing the socons. All along I've been worried about a split in the base and that causing Hillary to WIN, but here we have a split in the base when the republican wins. It's a recipe for a third party.
One question, joesbucks: Why all the acrimony from Rudophiles here at this socon website if socons are such a negligible group?

I didn't say Rudy snubbed socons. I said he was ignoring the sabre rattlers. There's a big difference.
The noisey socons have been "holding court" with candidates for years who may have been ill at ease with their perceived power. Even if they were with them on their issues. Rudy is the first candidate in a long time who can and likely will work with them, but won't have to bow to them. And he won't have to walk, or at least talk their line.
Socons have overplayed their hand. Their leadership and tactics have become old. Their impose rather than expose is turning even believers away. They don't have the power they once had. Rudy's popularity, even among the quieter but wiser socons, is evidence of that.
