What the hell are you talking about?
The only splitters are the usual suicidal right wingers who love immolating themselves on the alter of philosophical purity.
Look, I'm leaning toward Romney or Thompson if he dives in but by God I will vote for Rudy...with vigor if he's the party's nominee.
You people talking about voting third party are absolute fools. I will not contribute in any way shape or form to Mrs Bitch having a second go round in the WH.
What utter idiocy...An example of demanding ideological purity would be complaining because Fred Thompson only had an 86% conservative rating in the Senate.
Opposing RINO Rudy is no different than opposing a Democrat. Other than tax cuts and national security/law and order, JULIE-ANNIE IS LIBERAL ON EVERY OTHER ISSUE.
If he was running as the Democratic nominee, you'd be opposing him. And, if he somehow gets in to office and behaves like the liberal he has always been, you'll be the first one shocked and to complain about.
Conservatism can't succeeded when so many "conservatives" are dumb enough to delude themselves into thinking a liberal Republican is going to advance a conservative agenda.
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb....
