“That’s a 2 way street. Those who insist on Rudy are throwing the election to Hillary.
Better they unite behind a conservative candidate that all can support. Why try to force an anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-family, pro-illegal immigration, New York liberal on America when they KNOW that it won’t fly, and they also know that it will split their party.
I assume it is because they WANT to split the party, and that they secretly desire a Hillary presidency.”
I’m not insisting on Rudy; I’m voting for Rudy if the choice is between him and Hillary. If the choice were between him and Fred, I’d vote for Fred, or Duncan Hunter. But that is not the case and won’t be the case.
As far as splitting the party goes, I will vote for any Republican that comes out of the primary - without equivocation. To me, that’s supporting the party. To me, those who would split the party walk away from it because they couldn’t get their candidate nominated.
Again, lest I be thought of as a Rudy shill, my hope would have been for a true Conservative to be leading in the polls - but alas, that is not the case. When poll after poll tells me that only someone like Rudy can beat Hillary, I have to pay attention.
Maybe I’m suffering from wild-eyed paranoia here, but when I think of what Hillary can do in terms of judicial appointments, the Fairness Doctrine, the circumvention of the electoral college, her willingness to grant large blocks of illegals and felons the right to vote, and her socialist fervor to tax our capitalist system out of existence - I cannot in good conscience consider staying home on election day.
Dear Staten,
You must understand that it is impossible for me to vote for Rudy. It would violate God’s commandments.
Let’s unite behind Thompson.
Rudy has run a strong campaign, but his nomination isn’t inevitable-— look at the Howard Dean phenomenon, or the plausibility not so long ago of George Allen winning it.
I am bookmarking this thread for history, it will be a lesson in what not to do when facing the Clintons in an election.
