I also tend to be a "big tent" ideology subscriber. There's a lot of stuff I don't like in Rudy's record but my core issues are met. So to each his own. I'll pull the "R" lever either way on election day.
***I'm a socon. Rudy isn't. I'm supporting a socon on this socon forum. If you show me where I signed up here that this is a GOP forum, then I'll gladly commit to tripping the "r" lever on that day; but this ain't a GOP forum, it's a socon forum and the rudophiles are pushing a solib onto socons and they're getting predictable blowback, especially by folks who have a socon candidate. With Duncan, my core issues are met. With Rudy, they aren't. It will only be me in that voting booth on that day. But if it's Rudy in the 'r' column, the GOP is risking much more than just losing a couple of diehard rightwing crazies. There are millions who would be disenfranchised. It will not be healthy for the republican party.
Vote for who you like. I am not trying to change your mind. This site, despite of its charter, has supported diverse views for a long time.
