Before you take your principled stance on abortion, gay rights and gun rights and flush the Country down the liberal toilet consider the future if we let principles blind us to reality.

Worse, if Rudy loses, like I think he will, we will have thrown our principles down the toilet for nothing.

Like the cheezy shows where the criminal tells the good hero to put down his weapon or else he'll kill the hostages. So the hero does so, and then the criminal smiles and shoots the hostage anyway.
