Not a da*n thing...we’re going to principle ourselves into another Clinton presidency...

I've voted for a few candidates that have lost at state and national levels, and let me tell you - it's better to lose on principle than win on compromise. Every time.

Not that I would vote for Rudy whether he stood for abortion or against it anyway, just pointing that out.

That's your opinion.

It isn't mine, and I've voted a lot myself.

Fred Thompson's my choice and I'd much rather win with John McCain than lose to Hillary Clinton by voting third party.

admirable....

see, here's my reasoning. I will NOT allow Hillary Clinton to become POTUS without one helluva fight. The woman is dangerous, particularly considering the times in which we live.

The principle here is whether or not she becomes POTUS...Rudy Giuliani would have zero effect on Roe V wade...the Courts will decide that.

Ditto on the 2nd Amendment..particularly since he has already stipulated that he would appoint judges in the mold of Sam Alito and Chief justice Roberts...and, yes, I believe him, even though he is not my first or second choice.

The fact remains, he is a far cry from Hillary Clinton...and the statement that I have seen so often that he is "Hillary-lite" is just so much hyperbole.

"....it's better to lose on principle than win on compromise. Every time."

Spoken like a born loser. Effective politics is the art of compromise. High principles are wonderful for your personal life, but when you enter the political process, it would be better if you understood reality. Single issue "conservatives" could cost us this election.

Can you imagine the folly for the left if hard-corps liberals proclaimed that they wouldn't vote for anyone who wasn't for gun confiscation?

Single issue liberals who couldn't support Gore and voted for Nader, cost them the 2000 election. Please show more wisdom than the left wing kooks.
