WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rudy Giuliani's message to social conservatives: If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Gotta admire the guy for being so blunt.

At least he’s more honest than most politicians (not saying much, I know).

Still, I’ll be glad to leave you Rudy. I’ve been gone.

[beltfed308]

No problem Rudy.You were never worthy of my vote to begin with.

[Howlin]

It’s none of your business how my trip was.

Rudy Giuliani's message to social conservatives: If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

Done deal! Not in the primary, not in a general election.

[rintense]

To the contrary, I think he’s the horse they’re backing, and as soon as he gets the nomination, they go into Dean mode to clear the road for the Dem nominee.

[FormerLib]

If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

You got it, Rudy!

Oh, and I'm not going to give you any of my money via political contributions.

Oh, and I'm not going to give any political contributions to any political party stupid enough to nominate you as a candidate.

Go march in a gay parade now, tough guy!

Rudy trying to turn the discussion back to issues after his blooper with Judi the health secretary.

He should turn it to issues where he is strong with people voting for his nomination. His was a pretty stupid statement. Maybe to stupid.

[Dick Vomer]

If I have to chose between Hillary and Rudy, I’ll hold my nose and vote for Rudy(but it won’t be pleasant).

not me... I'll vote for the Hildabeast.... best money I ever made when they tanked the drug stocks.... got a Republican legislature, gave the conservatives most of the state houses and governorships....ended welfare....

I like my enemy to be in front of me....not stabbing me in the back like a RINO would....

so I'll skip to the polls in the fall and pull the lever for Hillary and for anybody that runs against CHET EDWARDS... the biggest weasel and Pelosi b#tt boy in Texas....

The world is littered with ‘refreshing’ ideas:

Nominating Giuliani would be the swiftest route to a Hillary or Obama presidency.

Giuliani cannot defeat them.

[wagglebee]

If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

Thanks for your permission Rudy, not that I ever really cared.

[peekingfromabox]

"He’s good for NYC, but I frankly don’t want him running the country."

Rino Giuliani is pretty good at handling disasters, like the WTC, and his campaign is becoming one.

[Howlin]

How utterly unoriginal.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Oh, what a lovely reply! Glad to see you still retain all the class you had before you left.

[firebrand]

But if that were his goal, it would mean he cared about something besides winning.

If the GOP is destroyed, it will be because it rotted from within.

[Radix]

Is that the new campaign slogan for Giuliani?

[stevio]

It is not his intention to run a good campaign, but to destroy the Republican Party.

I think a lot of us saw it that way all along. Fortunately this primary thing started so early, he was bound to self destruct. I stand by my assertion, that if he is ousted by a true conservative, he backs the dem candidate.

[Fierce Allegiance]

My, aren’t we a tad bit cranky?

[Mr. Mojo]

If I have to chose between Hillary and Rudy....

We won't have to worry about that, thankfully. The final two standing will be Thompson and Romney.

[Zathras]

Lesson #1, don’t piss off your base.
