However, for Rudy, this statement is a flip flop. He has supported taxpayer funded abortions in the past. I don't trust him and won't be voting for him.
I don’t trust him, but I trust Hillary will NOT appoint a justice who will overturn Roe.
There WILL be at least one court appointment in the next term. If it’s Rudy vs Hillary, I can vote for a candidate who SAYS he will appoint a good justice, who I don’t trust, or I can vote for Hillary, and pray that she is lying to me and will actually appoint a good justice.
If that’s what you care about, Rudy’s the choice in that instance. At least he SAYS he’ll do the right thing. Hillary promises not to.
Huckabee would be perfect on this issue, but another segment of the conservative movement finds him unacceptable, so we can’t consider him.
NO candidate gains the support of all the conservatives, and every conservative right now thinks their particular point of conservatism is critically important and therefore disqualifying to be opposed. Thus, no conservative can claim they will get the conservative vote.
This means the moderates, even if they were INCLINED to go with the “conservative” choice simply to stop Hillary, can’t — we won’t GIVE them a candidate to support.
If this continues, the moderates will give US a candidate, probably Rudy. We were told that Fred Thompson would be the solution, that if we just got him in all us conservatives could drop our candidates and all would be well.
But for some reason, Fred’s not polling much better than any other candidate, and certainly has not drawn a lot of votes from the other candidates, except Rudy.
Instead, a subset of the conservatives have jumped ship on Fred, and are now chasing after their new hero, Huckabee. But he’s already tainted, and there’s nobody else in the wings.
I’m also beginning to think that Hunter isn’t the one either. Everybody SAYS he would be, if only he was more popular. But if everybdoy who said that was actually putting his name down on the polls, he’d BE popular. So I think people are lying just to avoid getting into a fight over it. If he got above 10% they’d stop lying and start fighting.
Just my opinion.
Meanwhile, I’m sticking with Romney, because he’s done nothing to make me trust him less, and Fred hasn’t done enough or shown enough support for me to put him 1st, even though whenever I can I vote him as my 2nd choice.
