Rudi's liberal views on abortion, gays, and guns--which I oppose--will not stop me from voting for him if that is what it takes to keep the Hildabeast and Slick Willy from moving back into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I can't think of a stronger advocate for fighting and winning the war against militant Islam than Rudi. If Rudi is top man I sleep well at night. I believe he has enough political smarts to not try to force his liberal social views on the party or the nation while he is president. I also question how much some of his liberal social views are heartfelt. How else but with liberal social positions is a GOPer to be elected in NYC? Name another Republican who has without faltering supported our President and other GOP candidates the way Rudi has? You haven't seen Rudi hitting the president so as to suck up to the liberal media the way McCain has. I am a conservative Republican but that does not mean I believe in forgoing power to stand on principle. Those who follow the purist path are inviting a solid Democrat congress and presidency in 2008.

Exactly right.
There is simply NO WAY in hell I am going to sit idly by, and let the Great Satan Hitlery and her super sleazy spouse back into the White House, when I could have voted in the tried and tested, strong on WOT Giuliani instead.
Against Hitelry, Guiliani gets my vote.
It's a no brainer.

"that does not mean I believe in forgoing power to stand on principle".

Wait until that "power" is used against you! You "dance with the Devil", I won't!

Your statement also means you are willing to sacrifice your principles to maintain power. That is a contradiction. People gain power by sustaining their principles. The 'bipartisanship' garbage the RINOs have attempted resulted in the RATs gaining control of Congress. Sacrificing your principles will get you the type of government you are against. You claim to be a conservative but your actions and particularly your support of Giuliani's socialist views prove otherwise.

I agree. Rudy will provide leadership. He is effective. He gets things done. I realize that the GOP is a big tent. Rudy may not be the Christian Conservative candidate, but he fits under that tent. Also, the alternative are weak. Barbour may be a candidate worthy of contention, but he needs more exposure and gravitas. He might be a good VP candidate. I don't thing Condi will run, especially since Iraq is such a problem. McCain is not reliable. He voted against the taxcuts.
Romney is a moderate (tell me why Romney would be better than Rudy). GIVE ME ANOTHER CANDIDATE THAT CAN BET HILDEBEAST!
