Rudy is pro-abortion. Do you consider that something to overlook, or a plus?
I’ve stated this a gazillion times.
1) If social issues were so darned important to the Republican party, maybe Newt should have taken the time to write just a few short sentences about those issues in his Contract for America. He found the time to write about welfare and other issues that Republicans were working on and that are part of the party platform with regard to personal responsibility.
2) The states have had better luck dealing with abortion issues than the feds have had in 30 years and Rudy is all for state’s rights which, last I knew, is what conservatives WANTED.
3) Ted Olson has known Rudy for over 25 years and says they’ve talked about this matter and Olson is convinced Rudy will appoint strict constructionists if he gets to make SCOTUS appointments. I know that freepers are throwing everyone under the bus if they say a kind word about Rudy or endorse him in any way (which Ted did) but I refuse to dishonor Barbara’s memory by talking about Ted in such ugly terms and I take him at his word.
4) There are many kinds of conservatives. Fiscal, law and order, social, etc. I don’t consider someone who is pro choice to be a plus to the party, but I hardly think it should disqualify someone as qualified as Rudy from the presidency, nor do I think it should result in such a meltdown among socons and others on this forum.
