Good post, and you are exactly right. Anytime conservatism comprises with liberalism or makes the slightest concession to liberalism, liberalism wins and conservatism loses. Period. The danger here is when we allow people like Rudy to represent us, the media happily redefines conservatism as something more liberal than it is and it pushes us, the real conservatives, onto the fringes. But thats not who we are. We FReepers, ARE, the movement.

As far as the movement is concerned, our real election is the Republican primaries. If Rudy wins, the movement has already lost for 2008 and we will no longer be represented by a true Republican in the generals. Well actually we will not be represented, period.

However the question then becomes are we willing to vote for the lesser evil of two Democrats, or will we never vote for a liberal socialist on principle. That's a serious question because in relative terms a lot is at stake. One would abashedly, unapologetically and unrestrainedly nosedive the country into Marxism...and the other would at least er hesitate a little.
