...if Giuliani becomes the head of the Republican party and abortion becomes the official policy of the Republican party, does the Republican party also wear the mantle of "evil?"

A straw man, and false, argument. The GOP will not adopt abortion as its official policy and Giuliani will not recommend that it does.

"A straw man, and false, argument. The GOP will not adopt abortion as its official policy and Giuliani will not recommend that it does."

Wrong. Didn't you see the attitude of the departing Rudy supporters: "The conservatives have held their boot to the neck of the GOP for too long. The nation has moved away from conservatism. Conservatives cannot win. The GOP needs to govern from the middle. Abortion and gun control, etc., should never again be allowed to be dominate issues."

The RINOs, moderates, centrists and outright liberals within the GOP who fervently support Rudy actually do support his liberal stances. They want Roe vs Wade to survive. They're ok with the gay agenda and want it to succeed. They want gun control. They want amnesty for illegals. They're ok with and favor big government.

If they succeed in dumping the pro-life conservative wing from the GOP, there will be nothing stopping them from moving their agenda.

I agree with you that Giuliani would not immediately cause the GOP to adopt anti-Constitutional positions such as Roe, gun-grabbing, etc. as its official policy. However, a winning Giuliani candidacy certainly would cause the GOP to adopt his stances as their de facto policies. Generals tend to fight the last battles. If gun grabbing, etc. can win the GOP the presidency, why would it ever go back to the Constitutional stance (regardless of what the official platform says)?
