Open minded rinos will support conservatives, but for "real conservatives" supporting "rinos", You can forget it.
The "real conservatives" have a whole series of litmus tests. The words "closed minded" and "intolerant" come to mind.

BINGO!!!
I learned a long time ago that a person's character is much more important than their belief on tax policy or defense.Those opinions change with the circumstances.Integrity wins out in the end.
Dear staytrue,
"Open minded rinos will support conservatives, but for 'real conservatives' supporting 'rinos,' You can forget it."
Funny, from where I sit, it doesn't seem that way at all. I'm in Maryland, and voted and supported our current Republican governor, Bob Ehrlich, even though he's quite far from being a Republican conservative. I notice that Sen. Santorum pulled out all the stops for Mr. Specter, even though there was a viable, real, actual, genuine conservative who could have won the nomination. Many of us were supportive of Mr. Schwarzenegger in California, and of Mr. Giuliani when he was running for different office in New York.
We recognize that real, conservative Republicans aren't going to play well with every electorate in every state.
But the office of President of the United States of America is a little different. Mr. Giuliani might pass for a Republican in New York, but not nationally. It is important that an actual Republican run for the presidency as the Republican nominee, rather than a liberal who calls himself a Republican.
I have nothing against Mr. Giuliani, I think he's a swell guy. If he wants to be mayor of New York City, or a US Senator from New York, or governor of New York, I'll cheer him on. Heck, I might even be persuaded to send a small donation.
But I won't support him or vote for him for President of the United States.
