Medved's argument about illegal aliens has nothing to do with the results of third party histories and their effects.

Comes from the same bonehead thought processes.

No competition makes for arrogance, which, in politics, is expressed by candidates in monopoly parties as just doing what they want knowing constituents have no choice.

Should all the folks I have heard say they'll hold their nose and vote voted for a third party, that would clean up the arrogance fast.

Win? Lose? The election of national leaders is not a football game. You can "feel good" that "my team won", until "my team" stays on the same repressive path.

And if you vote for one of those disguised liberals, because he can win, instead of voting for a true conservative when it looks like he can't, you betray your franchise.

Not only that, but when you vote for a liberal Republican, you are sending a message to the Republican party that says "hey, I don't care if you move to the left, I'll still support you".

It is curious that no one has challenged his historical analysis.

At least Rudy has changed his tune regarding the appointment of originalist judges and the Second Amendment. Do I believe him? Not necessarily, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in the unlikely event that he wins the nomination.

Do you want another Clinton administration at this point in world affairs?

If you think that there's no difference between the two major parties, then I'm at a loss for words. The RINOs are still a minority in the GOP.

I never bought that argument. He sang a liberal tune in order to have a chance given the uniqueness of NYC politics. Now, he's at least singing a conservative tune now. He's a politician. What else is new? I'd rather give a chance to Rudy to prove that he really changed, than throw away a vote that makes sure that the Stalinists win.
