Exactly, I will never understand the devotion and giving the OK to Rudy. NEVER

And to see it here at FR is shocking and very disappointing.

I couldn't agree more. It's actually disgusting to see so many compromise their principles.

As the Gipper so eloquently stated,

"So, it was our Republican Party that gave me a political home. When I signed up for duty, I didn't have to check my principles at the door. And I soon found out that the desire for victory did not overcome our devotion to ideals".
--Ronald Reagan remarks at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans, August 15, 1988.

Many Rudy apologists will have to 'check their ideals' to get him elected. Many others of us would never do that.
