You all make very good points. I'm furious and frustrated with Rep. leadership that we are being put in this position at all. I have three sons and two nephews in the military. I have a very personal stake in who the CIC is. I also have a moral code that prevents me from casting a vote for anyone who supports abortion and the gay agenda. This presents me with an unacceptable quandary. Glenn Beck says go by the 80% rule: if you agree with a candidate at least 80% you can vote for him. But if the 20% means abortion on demand, gay marriage, and unchecked illegal immigration?

I feel certain, considering the political climate and the role of the media in politics, once we let go of family values they will disappear from politics for good. Any progress we've made in restricting abortion and holding off the gay agenda will be lost. Moral relativism will rule the land. Once the Republican Party believes they can force us to compromise they will write us off for good. We (Christians and pro-lifers) must stick together and vote for what we believe, not against Hillary. If we turn out in the primaries we can make sure Rudy doesn't get the nomination. It's not like we don't have any other choices!

GREAT POST!

We must ensure that we do NOT end up with the following choices:

Candidate A --UNACCEPTABLE (Rudy)

Candidate B --MORE UNACCEPTABLE (Hillary)

The operative word above is UNACCEPTABLE. If you want to unite the Party and ENERGIZE the base, Candidate A must be at least ACCEPTABLE.
