... The reason: the Supreme Court. The oldest and frailest members of the court are all flaming liberals. They are clinging to their positions in hopes of waiting Bush out. They will attend court in wheelchairs with portable oxygen if they have to, because they know what is at stake. Right now, the court is tenuously balanced between liberal and conservative, but leans liberal. If the flaming lefties can hold out until ’08, and if the Republicans and conservatives fail to unify around a candidate and win, the next Democrat president will appoint young far leftists to the court, and we will be screwed for a long time to come.

This is exactly the way I view the importance of winning the election. And, BTW, Thank You for your kind words. I appreciate it very much.

I have never asked anyone to vote for Rudy Giuliani but have been supportive of him after looking over the field, doing some research into his actions and policies as Mayor of NYC. Of course his leadership after 911 was admirable. As a conservative Republican who is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment, I had to reconcile my own beliefs against someone who is an admitted pro-choice candidate. I also had to look at his view on our Constitutional right to bear arms. I read a lot and tried to get to the true character of the man. I have come to the conclusion that other conservative Republicans have done the same thing and have arrived at the same decision as I have. They think Rudy Giuliani CAN WIN and WILL WIN. And having a Republican in the White House, instead of a Marxist/Ultra Liberal is my only objective. All three of the leading Democrats are into Socialism and will take this country down the wrong road and will have 8 years to do it. Two more Liberal Justices could set us back to where we were during the Clinton Administration.

I respect everyones opinions and would like them to respect mine, even if they vehemently disagree with me. If Fred Thompson finally gets off the pot and decides to run and can get any kind of traction with the rest of the country, I'll reconsider his lack of fire in the belly and the "Experience" factor and put all my efforts into his campaign. Until then I will continue to support the candidate I think has the best chance of winning. Losing is not an option we can afford. There's too much at stake.

I fully expect to be banned from this forum for my continued support of Rudy, but that's the fine with me. I can certainly understand, and wholeheartedly agree with, a forum dedicated to advancing conservative principles. I just cannot understand driving our car over a cliff in an election as important as this one. Rudy Giuliani will never be able to corrupt our principles and doesn't have any desire to do so. If he wins he will be there for 8 years and move on. And we will have the power of the bully pulpit during that time. Our Republic will survive and so will conservative Republicans.

Thanks for giving me a chance to express my feelings and motives. I am not the enemy. I have actively fought against abortion and for adoptions for decades and will continue to do so. No matter who resides in the White House.
