If Rudy wins, I will pray to God that he does what he claimed he would do.
But until that day, I will remember that Bush, who I certainly trusted on judges, nominated a woman who, while she might have well been OK, didn’t even have constututional knowledge sufficient to answer a written questionare.
I’m not as sour on Rudy as most people here. If he wins the nomination, and he continues to suppress his liberal tendencies, I’ll probably even support him during the general election, even though I think his election might put conservatism back 10 years.
At least we’ll have a fiscal conservative in the white house. And maybe he’ll get tired after 4 years and we can elect a real conservative.
But I won’t cry myself to sleep in November if Rudy loses, even to Hillary. I know the sun will rise the next day, God will still be in control, and our country will soldier on. And Hillary will guarantee a conservative backlash that will win back the house and Senate, just like her husband did with her help in 1994.
There’s always a silver lining, and I refuse to vote in the primary based on fear and defeatism.
I will always remember GHWB (who I trusted more than I will ever trust Rudy) saying, "Read my lips, no new taxes." And then breaking the promise the first chance he got.
I will never again believe a candidate who promises something that is totally inconsistent with statements they have made in the past (remember it was GHWB who had once ridiculed Reagan's economic campaign platform as "voodoo economics").
