Excellent post. As I said, I will not apologize for my support of Rudy. I will admit that if this was 2000, there is no way in the world I would be looking at him as a viable candidate. But September 11th changed me, and how I look at the world. If Fred Thompson impresses me (and I am looking) as much as Rudy does, I will vote for him. Heck, I am thrilled that we could, potentially, have two such great leaders to choose from.

I am pro life, I am a 2nd Amendment voter, I admit, I am more libertarian of the gay issues, but I do believe in family values. Yet I also see a Country that will be taken over by Islamic Terrorists, if we let it. And although I would love to have a day with no more abortions, I want to be able to Thank God on that day, and not praise allah. I need to be able to vote for someone I believe will do everything in their power to fight those Islamofascits and I truly believe Rudy will do that. If I see the same potential in Fred, he may get my support. I just don't see anyone else in the field that would do that AND be electable.

If I said that Rudy is almost exactly like current President Bush, but without the morality, would you in general agree or disagree, and if you disagree what do you see in Rudy that you didn't see in Bush right after 9/11?

It boggles my mind that someone like you could support someone like Rudy at this stage, when there are other candidates who are not anti-gun, etc.
