The sad irony is that about a third of the country can't see the difference between a Christian who says that homosexuality is sinful and a Muslim who wants to cut your head off for taking your wife out to dinner without first covering her in a bedsheet.

Some of these people plan on voting for Rudy, too.

I am in absolute agreement with your first paragraph.

Now that we agree on the important stuff, we can waste our time on speculation. You may be right in your second paragraph, I don't know (ignorance not a euphemism for disagreement). About R. it seems his strongest claim is that "he will nominate someone like Alito and Roberts." I woudn't be surprised if his idea of someone like Alito and Roberts turns out to be someone like Arlen Specter and Lincoln Chafee. I can see the gleam in his eye when he says "I thought that's what you wanted."
