That's a 2 way street. Those who insist on Rudy are throwing the election to Hillary.

Yes, it is. However, you'd indicated your choice was between God and Rudy. Perhaps I misunderstood you. It sounded like you would not vote for RG because of what you perceive as religious restrictions from doing so. However, by not voting you would implicitly aid the election of HC which I would think you would have the same reservations about. As I said, actions have consequences. The fact is your choice would be between Hillary and Rudy (again assuming these were the nominees). Any action you take will aid one candidate or the other. Vote for RG, he is more likely to win. Vote for HC, she is more likely to win. Don't vote at all and you cede control of the election to everyone that *does* vote and by default aid the election of whoever wins.

BTW, if you ultimately do choose not to vote Republican in the general election, I strongly urge you to at least vote third party. This way your vote is at least counted and will get the attention of the major parties. Not voting is a complete waste since the major parties only care about voters who actually vote.

HC which I would think you would have the same reservations about.

Exactly. I can support neither of them. So far as this issue is concerned, they are the same person.

The mission is to win.

The first objective is to see that the republican nomination goes to some viable, pro-life republican rather than to Rudy. Right now that would be any of the candidates other than Rudy.

Failing that, and I think we'll know by the end of February because of Super Tuesday, is to put together a winning coalition behind a viable candidate other than Rudy or Hillary.

A plurality wins the presidency, so any pro-life candidate able to take all the the conservatives while Rudy & Hillary split the liberals would be one avenue of attack.

Any action you take will aid one candidate or the other.

Suppose Fred Thompson gets the nod. Which would be a better use of $1,000: supporting Fred Thompson's campaign or buying a(nother) gun along with some ammo and range time? Which would be a better use of time: supporting Fred Thompson's campaign, or going to the range.

Now suppose Rudy is nominated. Would you answer the questions the same way?
