>Great post. For the Rudy detractors who don't think he's far enough to the right...... he is supporting Rick Santorum FWIW.<
Who he is supporting has no bearing on his personnel values which are not acceptable to the majority of conservatives.
Jeeze that didn't take long. Regardless of how you feel about Rudy - NOONE does more to raise money for the Republicans than Giuliani. That's what's important her NOT social issue!
Most important issue IMO is continuity in the War on Terror after President Bush leaves office -- Rudy will deliver. He cleaned up NYC, took down the mob and put his life on the line to lead the city, and to some degree the country, in the aftermath of 9/11.
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.
So if it was a choice between the witch or Rudy protecting this country are you going to stay home?
I'm a conservative and I think his hiring practices as mayor were fine.
Who he is supporting has no bearing on his personnel values which are not acceptable to the majority of conservatives.
AMEN
