I agree with that.
However, if that perfect world does not happen, and if Giuliani is the nominee, anyone who supports the man betrays their faith and their politics. As you've pointed out there are tons of reasons not to support the man -- so the single issue charge doesn't hold water -- so why the insistence in the "conservative" media that Giuliani is our man?
That said, conservatives must decide on one candidate within weeks. As it stands we're splitting our vote and assisting Giuliani in that regard.
There are those who say there is no such thing as a "conservative media" and the fix is in for Hillary's Presidency. By pushing Giuliani as the nominee, the path is well-lighted for evangelical Christians to withhold their votes as Giuliani's many negatives are splashed in our faces for the next 12 months, all of which puts Hillary and her evil consort back in the White House.
Conveniently, those who fabricate history will pronounce that it was those stubborn, uncompromising Christians who lost the Presidency for their party, thereby further weakening whatever clout the religious right still has.
Falwell's gone. I haven't heard anything from Pat Robertson lately.
The question we need to be asking is why can't someone like Duncan Hunter pick up any traction? He's a perfectly reasonable candidate. Even Huckabee doesn't look so bad.
If the press says Giuliani is the front-runner enough times, people will believe it and vote accordingly. Sadly, we most often do what we're told.
And the bad guys know this.
