the Congress would check any insane gun control measures he might try to pass, why would he even try?

My point is, being a "moderate" Republican president doesn't mean much unless you can show me an aggressive leftist agenda these RINOs plan on advancing. Everyone here thinks Rudy would be spending night and day passing gun confiscation laws and opening abortion clinics - its an over-reaction.

For the record, I don't think Rudy will get the nomination. But for sure, we need to have a fair primary process that includes everyone - if we start off by essentially "litmus testing away" the guy who is polling #1 from entering the primary process - we are going to appear intolerant, and we will lose independent voters that we need to win the election.

If that's the case, then why vote for him at all? If the President is truly that incapable of influencing policy and lawmaking, then why are you championing RINOs like Powell and Guiliani at all?

C'mon now...think your ridiculous excuses through.
