I am not trying to be funny and it is insulting for you to suggest that. The POTUS has very little impact on some of the issues you mention because the laws are made by Congress. McCain had a direct impact on CFR and the Gang of 14. The POTUS has his most important effect on the appointment of judges and on foreign policy. Rudy has stated his position on judges, and, I don't care what you say about Rudy, he totally "gets" the GWOT, as does McCain.

The most important thing for the GOP is not to let the Dems to split the party and allow Hillary to become POTUS. The damage she could do to our country in even one term doesn't bear thinking about. ANY of the Republican candidates are 1000X better than Hillary! I would vote for Huckabee, although with reluctance, if he were the nominee. I would NEVER sit it out or vote third party in such an important election. I would think that the Rebubicans would have learned their lesson about that in 2006!

Rudy has stated his position on judges...

Rudy had a long record of appointing liberal judges and has praised the likes of Ginsburg. Rudy thinks that Presidents appoint judges that think like them (You want Scotuses that think like Rudy?). Rudy says he'll appoint "strict constructionist" judges (a description that was widely used to describe Blackmun--the author of Roe v. Wade and other terrible, leftist opinions). In short, Rudy will be an utter failure on judges.

I don't care what you say about Rudy, he totally "gets" the GWOT...

Really? That is why, in the past, he has used terrorist attacks to justify taking away rights of Americans? How about those Sanctuary Cities? How about recommending Bernard Kerik for top posts in Iraq and the DHS? You and I must have a different definition of "getting it".

ANY of the Republican candidates are 1000X better than ________! .... I would NEVER sit it out or vote third party in such an important election. I would think that the Rebubicans would have learned their lesson about that in ____!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many times have folks used the same argument to give us the likes of Schwarzenegger? How about we start electing folks that actually support the Republican platform? How about that idea, huh?
