If you go back and reread post #336 you will see that jwalsh said that Rudy, like Hillary, would not address ANY of his concerns.

He said that in the context of abortion. And you spin it into something more.

Is this what we can expect from the Rudy boosters to deal with all the annoying right-wingers who just don't get it? We have seen the motives of pro-life groups impunged. We have had pro-lifers belittled for caring that millions of children have been aborted since 9-11. And you have done your best to spin the other side's responses like they don't care about certain issues such as the WOT.

If Rudy were the only GOP nominee who was solid on such, you'd have a point. But he's not, so you're just blowing smoke.

"He said that in the context of abortion. And you spin it into something more."

I see that now. I didn't go back far enough in the posts to see that. I apologize. My mistake I wasn't intentionally trying to spin anything.

"We have seen the motives of pro-life groups impunged. We have had pro-lifers belittled for caring that millions of children have been aborted since 9-11."

I'm pro-life. I'm against abortion. However, I realize that we will NEVER stop abortions. Even if Roe gets overturned and the issue goes back to the states, many states will continue to allow abortions. California certainly isn't going to restrict abortions. Therefore when faced with the cold hard reality of the situation I chose not to make this a major factor in how I vote for President. I know the heart tells us we might just be able to stop abortion in this country if we just fight hard enough and never compromise but the head, pragmatic and realistic as always, always lets you know the reality of the situation.

"If Rudy were the only GOP nominee who was solid on such, you'd have a point. But he's not, so you're just blowing smoke."

I believe Rudy is the most solid though and most competent. And the other candidates, IMO, don't stand a chance of winning the general election. I'm not going to vote for someone I think is going to lose to Hillary and Obama, period.
