"They fail to appreciate that the name of the game is to win elections. If we lose them, we lose everything, including any hope at all of furthering our principles in the long run."

What principles? Abortion? Gun-Control? Total disdain for the Constitution? Open Borders? Please, we would love to know just what principles the Rudybots hold!!

When you have a candidate that does not share any of your principles and you vote for them, you have given up all your principles and have rendered yourself voteless. Once people are browbeaten to vote for a person based on unproven logic, that we just want to win, you can never go back. In otherwards, we can't say we will vote for Rudy without knowing that his candidacy alone is without principles. If we do that, the cause of conservatism will be gone for a long time, or maybe forever. Rudy will not further our principles because he doesn't share our principles. Neither do Republicans that support him.

If Rudy gets the nomination it would be better for our cause if he loses, proving Republicans have shot themselves in the foot.

In the end, Democrats are not going to vote for Rudy. They will vote for Democrats because they don't trust Republicans.

Without conservatives, Rudy is dead meat. But...we know you can win without us, so we have been told.

Rooty Rooters incessantly fawn over, and flack, this flawed candidate. No matter how hard we resist, the Rooters insist on inflict this guy on the rest of us.

The Rooters show signs of being victims of Stockholm Syndrome-——a psychological disturbance found among hostages.

Stockholm Syndrome is characterized by unwarranted feelings of loyalty to abusive captors.

Sap-happy Rooters ignore the obvious, succumbing to bafflegab manufactured by Rooty to keep them in his power.

What else would explain the Rooters' airheaded rationalization of Rooty’s disturbed thinking about killing the unborn on the taxpayer’s dime?

Looking past Rooty’s gun-grabbing, gay worship, draft-dodging, and ignoring Rooty's serial marriages, and public adultery are also part of the syndrome.
