Just thought I cut in here to repeat what I’ve said before. There’s not a single GOP candidate right now, including Rudy, who wouldn’t make a great GOP president. Right now I’m leaning toward Rudy. His abortion stance bothers me not a bit. According to Sean Hannity, Rudy told him he supports the Hyde Amendment, which strictly limits federal funds for abortion.
Rudy is staunchly conservative on most of the issues that matter to me. On the other issues, despite whatever he’s said in the past, I don’t believe he’ll do a thing to roll back our rights and our freedom.
More than any time in American history, it is vital that the next President not be a Democrat. Our survival as a nation depends on it.
The thing is, the anti-Rudy Freepers seem to think they’re the ones who will decide the election. They won’t. I doubt they will even make much of an impact on the primaries. Remember that at this point in the 2000 campaign the owner of this site was calling Bush a Coke-sniffing loser, and Alan Keyes was the darling of FR’s “Real conservatives.” Their numbers are inflated because of their prominence on Free Republic, and unfortunately that has also inflated their sense of self-importance.
I totally agree with your post. Too bad such calm logic is no longer the norm here at FR.
