I don't like it, either, but if Rudy is the nominee, I really don't see another way out of the mess. The Republican Party cannot abandon the social conservatives so completely by nominating someone completely antithetical to their views (at least Romney pays them some lip service). If so, they will go back to the status they had during the New Deal-Great Society days, when the only person we could elect as President was a general who was allowed to win a war. It will take a generation or more to rebuild this party, and the unborn will have been forever abandoned by that point.
What's the sense in voting for the guy with the (R) next to his name, if the brand no longer means anything?
There are indirect Romney/McCain links to Soros, as well. According to Michelle Malkin, Soros donated money to the Main Street Individual Fund, a group she links to the Republican Main Street Partnership.

McCain is currently listed as a Republican Main Street Partnership member senator:

When Romney was in office, he was a member governor (along with Pataki and Schwartzenegger):

Are these indirect links close enough to be meaningful? Who knows.
And I will blame the party elites for running RINO candidates we can’t vote for.
“Beware of an Arnold Dressed as a Rudy (Could Giuliani Spread the Damage Nationwide?)”
Ever since that crapola last week out of Schwarzen - Kennedy’s office basically FORCING homosexual Indoctrination on school kids this is what has been on my mind. Is this what a Rudy Presidency would bring us nationally?
“He made conservative promises, broke them and moved Left as soon as he was safely in office.”
And that could never happen with Rudy, right?
“What if the Witch was running as a Republican?.”
Well that would automatically make her acceptable now wouldn’t it?
(sarcasm)
The GOP would also be abandoning small government conservatives by nominating Giuliani. There may be a few who care only about taxes who would still support him. However, most small-l libertarian types care about the overall size and intrusiveness of the federal government, not just about taxes. For the latter group, Giuliani would be a disaster.
So, the current leader in the polls represents an abandonment of 2/3 of the Reagan coalition (and IMO, his national security record doesn’t merit the support of the defense hawks, either). As the old curse goes, we live in interesting times.
“For you social conservatives (I’m an economic Conservative) Mitt is against gay marriage and abortion.”
Yeah, NOW he is.
“Vote for the GOP nominee, period.”
What if Hillary had an “R” after her name?
It isn't who you endorse that 's being compared. It's your tactics in doing so. Calcowgirl is correct: you are employing the exact, same "Us or Them, you're no conservative" rhetoric that FO employed constantly. Lots of the candidate partisans are full of the same tactics, from all sides.
As Calcowgirl points out, we are supposed to be adults making informed adult decisions. Personal attacks do nothing to further those decisions. Scorched earth vituperance is offensive, no matter whom employs it, let alone when it is dumped on fellow conservatives whom you might well want at your back in the General elections. GSGOP was a scarred vet here in the Arnie/McClintock wars, and has earned respect from the rest of the "Ilk" for his opinions on the subject. I don't recall your contributions at that time.
Think about that.
Al Gore(R) for president! He can win! /s
Thanks Lex. You said that much more diplomatically than I did. FWIW, ReaganMan was a very avid anti-Arnold during the Recall posting very compelling arguments as to why Schwarzenegger should be opposed and withstanding some of the worst flames. I learned a lot from him at the time.
RM, I regret the manner in which I delivered the message (but not the message itself as Lex describes better). For that, I apologize.
Boy was I wrong. I expected to see, in the first few posts, Arnold dressed up in Rudy’s drag costume.

I support SB 777!
That is a question that none of the Rudy rooters can answer.
A man laments the “Collie-Forniya” that he voted for.
As for me, I’m voting for the Big DH in the primaries.
Fixed your tagline.
>>>>>It isn't who you endorse that 's being compared. It's your tactics in doing so.
My tactics are to see the best conservative candidate gets the nomination. Not some liberal, centrist or moderate. You can get a better insight into my political reasoning at post #60.
For your information, FO was supporting two liberals. First Schwarzenegger and then Giuliani. His posts in support of Rooty is what got him banned. I don't support liberals of any stripe, nor do I condone liberalism of any kind.
>>>>>I don't recall your contributions at that time.
Looks like you don't know a damn thing about me either. In the 2003 recall election, I supported conservative Tom McClintock over the liberal Ahnold. I took as much abuse from the Harpies, as anyone who dared to oppose Ahnold. Maybe more. And I'm proud of it too.
Now I'm supporting conservative Fred over liberal Rooty and I'm proud of that too.
Forgot one thing.
Anyone defending Rooty Toot, is fair game for attack. That includes your precious goldstategop.
Should have put that last line in quotes.
