That would be best. In the meantime, we need to send a loud and clear message to the GOP and its liberal, moderate and pro-abortion RINO wing, and other weak-kneed, hand-wringing members, if you abandon the party’s long-standing conservative principles and the party’s platform of defending life and liberty by nominating a constitution trampling abortionist, you will never ever win another election and your party dies.

Exactly.

I have to admit that if Rudy is the nominee I am going to have to do a long wrestle with my conscience to be able to support him.

On the other hand, if he can convince me, which he hasn’t yet been able to, that he would appoint strict constructionists to the SC, I would probably have to hold my nose and vote for him. But I don’t have to decide just now, and hopefully I never will.

Here’s what I see as wrong with the plan to withhold conservative support from a liberal Republican. Whatever Hillary gets done is FOREVER. We’ve been fighting 40 years or longer, 60 if you go back to FDR, with nothing of the Fair Deal or the Great Society rolled back. Liberalism is a one-way ratchet.

After 8 years of the Hildebeast and her pinko judicial appointments, will anything be left worth saving of America? Maybe, but why take a chance?

On the other hand, as you know, liberal Rs like Nixon and Ike did immeasurable damage, as did conservatives like the magnificent Ronnie Reagan and George Bush the first with ill-considered appointments.

Jim, you may rest assured that I will think long, hard, and prayerfully on my choices for both the primary and the general election, and I may well come down on your side.

God bless you for this wonderful site and the courageous work that you do.
