Unfortunately for Republicans who think Rudy is the only person who can win, he can't do it without conservative Evangelicals.

Oh, I agree completely.

I cannot imagine why any evangelical would vote for Rudy in the primaries.

But if they stay home during the general? Then they deserve the regional minority party they will have inherited.

I've held my nose in just about every general election, voting for the lesser of two evils. Is that too much to ask from these folks?

Tommy, I've figured the Rudy Rooters (Rudybots) out.

They are like battered wives who just 'can't' leave the mutt who beats the crap out of them. They keep making excuses for the abuser with junk like, 'Well.. he'll change. He'll stop beating me - he told me so'.

Or like the family of an Alcoholic, they are enablers and are codependent on-with-to the Drunken sot. They too make excuse after excuse for the bum.

Miss a family gathering, make an excuse - 'He's sick with the flu.' Miss work due to a hangover - They call in sick for the bum. They'll hide the bum in the basement and feed him booze as long as he doesn't publicly embarrass the family. And when he does, which he will - here come the excuses, fast and furious.

THIS is the exact pathology of the Rudy Rooters, down to a 'T'. Rudy can beat them or embarrass them and it's excuse, after excuse, after excuse. 'He'll change', 'He said', 'It's different now,' etc, etc, etc.

This past weekend I Googled 'codependency' and 'Alcoholism' (the Rudybots were getting unusually wacky on a thread) and what popped up describes the Rudy Rooters word for word.

(I had a friend (mentor) die of Alcoholism, his family enabled him and were codependent. The Rudybots actions, 'logic', are like deja vu all over again)
