"...if someone supports an overwhelmingly pro-abort candidate like Rudy, they really don't have standing to challenge the relative pro-life bona fides of other candidates..."

This is closer to the impression I'm getting. I understand Jim's logic - FR isn't for supporting liberals, and he's said, no doubt with good reason, that Rudy is a liberal. I happen to agree, but then I don't think the GOP is particularly about conservatism anymore in the first place.

I am distressed to see so many of us gone for having supported a GOP candidate, one that is well thought of by most Americans, even if he does turn up as a "liberal" upon close examination. But the GOP has had its share of "liberals" over the years.

They are not gone for that. Once again, they are gone for continuing to either spread falsehoods about conservative candidates or belittling core conservative values - after repeated warnings from JimRob to stop.
