“>>>>>It’s also been a loss to the Free Republic community at large. I mourn their loss, especially those conservatives that left in protest.<<<<<<
Like so many others, you’re under some illusion. If someone wants to promote liberalism and oppose conservatism, then FR is not for them....”
If Rudy is the chosen candidate of the Republican party against Hillary Clinton, it is NOT “promoting liberalism and opposing conservatism” to support him.
In fact, it would promote liberalism (and oppose conservatism) by staying home and letting Hillary win. It’s THAT simple.
Now, at the risk of repeating myself...
A) I do not agree with Rudy’s social positions (abortion, gay marriage, gun control).
B) I wish there was a conservative in the race whom I could see as electable. At present, there isn’t.
On the other hand, I respect what he’s been able to accomplish, I respect his courage to say what he thinks and stand up to people, and I respect his track record in getting things done. For others of you, I guess, the fact that he showed up at a charity event in drag is evidently all you need to cross him off your list, and let Her Highness take the throne.
Rudy and Hillary are both liberals. I won't vote for either one. A vote for Rudy is a vote for liberalism and a vote against conservatism.

Crime rates came down in NYC when Rudy was Mayor. He deserves some credit for that. Although not as much credit as he is being given by his supporters. And reducing crime rates doesn't mean Rudy is qualified to be POTUS. Bottom line. Rudy doesn't represent conservatives on the issues that matter most to us.

***No, that is not enough to take him off my list. But the fact that he’s a liberal, abortionist, gun-grabbing, open borders homosexualism activist with no party loyalty, that’s what strikes him off my list.
