Evangelicals can sit on their hands and when Rudy wins they'll be like the black community that believes their leaders and have no say. Hope you enjoy that.
The republican party can not win without the conservative base. They have lost everytime they have tried it.
Rudy can't win without the evangelicals. No Republican could.
Or, evangelicals can show up and vote for Rudy, and be like the black community that keeps voting for leaders that could care less about them simply because they have a “D” in their name.
If the black community was intelligent, it would sit on their hands for an election, to show the democrats that they can’t take their votes for granted.
Instead, they vote “D”. And end up with leaders like James Webb, who could care less about blacks and will do LESS for blacks than the arch-conservative George Allen did. But Webb is a “D” and Allen was an “R”.
Evangelicals on the other hand really DID get politicians to vote and do what they wanted, because they were known to be people who sit home if they are not satisfied. By 2006 though, the politicians got cocky, and thought the evangelical vote could be taken for granted.
It amazes me that people are ready to make the same mistake again on a presidential scale.
“Evangelicals can sit on their hands and when Rudy wins they’ll be like the black community that believes their leaders and have no say. Hope you enjoy that.” Actually, that is my fear. I think Rudy can, indeed, win without some of the conservatives that will go third party. Unfortunately, I think that will send the wrong message to the GOP establishment. If it comes down to Rudy as the nominee, I will vote for him. But I fear what that means for the pro-life cause.
