My first thought. Except I never believed the 65% figure.
Rudy is not conservative, nor is he a Republican.
He was a good sheriff for NYC.
But that’s about it.
Yeah, I think it is inflated too.
I think he would have been a better senator for New York than Hillary.

Do we really want abortion mentioned in the Constitution?
Roe v. Wade is a horrible decision and should be overturned because it has put into the Constitution an alleged right to abortion. Those who framed the Amendments that abortion rights are supposedly based on would have been shocked to have know how their words were twisted around in such a way by future members of the Supreme Court.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion will return to being a decided by each individual state, as the Tenth Amendment intends any issue to be decided when the Constitution is silent on that issue.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people."
An "Abortion Prohibition Amendment" has zero chance, absolutely zero chance, of passing in the America of 2007. The moral climate of America will simply not support it. This is no longer Grandpa's America.
If however, the Amendment Fairy went POOF and put the "Abortion Prohibition Amendment" into the Constitution today, the moral and political climate of America is such that the "Repeal of Abortion Prohibition Amendment" would pass in record time.
The next step would be that the pro-abortion forces would then fight to put an "Abortion Rights Amendment" into the Constitution and have abortion truly be a Constitutional right.
That would be the worst outcome of all.
If I were a politician trying to get votes in a liberal state, I would tell the pro-abortion forces that I was against an "Abortion Prohibition Amendment".
Translation: "I do not want to push such an Amendment because it has a snowball's chance in Hell of ever passing but I will appoint Supreme Court Justices that respect the Tenth Amendment and will overturn Roe v. Wade."
Once elected, I would appoint Supreme Court Justices that respect what the Constitution actually says and would overturn Roe v. Wade.
That would be the best outcome politically possible in the moral climate of America today and will remain so until the moral climate of America changes.
