My take on this is that the Rudy camp is worried about Thompson’s campaign.
They compare “nu” rudy with “old” Thompson’s actual congressional record.
They are running around saying he’s a Reagan Republican.
Claiming he was a part of the ‘94 Revolution.
The rudy camp lately seems to be responding to whatever themes Thompson is hitting.
They even have Rudy praying Jesus. A fact i don’t see a lot of liberals and Christian bashers decrying. Maybe because he’s insincere?
Think that's less about Rudy trying to persuade evangelicals that he's their choice for Prez than it is a way to exploit the Mormon issue by reminding primary voters of Romney's religious views. When you look at the major candidates (those polling 10% plus), Romney's the one who has staked out the ground as being the candidate for Christians...whether or not one believes Mormonism is a Christian sect. Given the hits that Thompson has been taking by Dobson lately, looks like Romney's got some support from so-called Christian leaders.
If Rudy makes religion an issue, he doesn't have to win Christian votes in the primaries...he just has to get them to stay home stay instead of coming out for Romney.
Fair? No. But that's politics.
Another stunning example of Rooty’s unshakeable personal beliefs———Rooty worships at the Church of Whatever Works For Me.
