“I dislike Rudy enough to vote third-party if he is nominated, but I agree that he had a good debate. Mike Huckabee won, but Rudy did very well for himself.”

So you’d throw your vote away just to make a point? I thought we were the party of common sense.

Other than defense, there’s no point in voting for Rudy. I’d probably go to a third party as well.

I don't think that a third-party vote is wasted when the nominees of the Republican and Democrat parties are completely wrong for the country. Rudy Giuliani has shown that he's not just a pro-abortion candidate but that he's a pro-abortion extremist in his support of taxpayer funded abortion. He admitted in the last debate that he's not committed to judges who will overturn Roe versus Wade. He's said on national TV that he opposes private ownership of handguns. He's now trying to say only that he supports "reasonable" restrictions on our Second Amendment rights, but he hasn't said that his previous position is not reasonable. He tried to duck the issue tonight, but he was one of those mayors who wanted to turn his city into a sanctuary city and refused to cooperate with the INS. A police officer had stopped one of the 9-11 hijackers for a traffic violation and found that he was in the country illegally. The police officer didn't call the INS because the attitude in our country had been that we didn't care about people in the country illegally, and Rudy Giuliani was one of the people advocating that attitude. He should be out of the race because in spite of good that he's done on some issues in NYC, he's not right for the whole country. If a huge number of people vote third party, I hope that the GOP will learn not to nominate someone like Rudy Giuliani again.
