“Golly, cal, dont the Rooty Tooters look cute in their Night of the Living Dead Halloween costumes?”
I stated right up front that I don’t have a candidate yet. What I wrote is just what I see happening. If Rudy gets the nod, and loses it alienates the values voters. If Rudy gets the nod and wins, the values voters are instantly marginalized.
Mmmmm........as a conservative, I say "be prepared."
I suggest Rooty plan now on getting help later.
A 12-step program can do wonders to help Rooty get back his self-esteem.
If Rudy gets the nod and wins, ALL CONSERVATIVES get marginalized as RUDY IS A LIBERAL!
And, for the record, check your post again. You said that he was acceptable to moderate Republicans. I contend he is "acceptable" only because those folks are too busy to look at his actual record and have no clue what he actually stands for, instead listening to fallacious talking points (and the liberals who would be perfectly happy with his autocratic form of governing and liberalism).
