Yeah you did.
Your post:
"If one is dead, social issues mean nothing."
The social issues we are talking about here include the God given unalienable rights to life, liberty, 1st and 2nd amendment issues, etc. Most of us will fight to the death to defend these rights and we're not going to surrender to the socialists or to the socially liberal "conservatiives" who will do all in their power to strip them from us.
Besides, your "if one is dead" is a straw man argument. You're claiming that no other Republican candidate other than Rudy will fight the war on terror. That's a false statement.
There are now many avowed candidates in both the GOP and the Dem fields; all but one from each party, at the end of the primaries, will be gone. One GOP candidate and one Dem candidate will go head to head, toe to toe with each other and no fringe party candidate will do anything for either major party this time around. That leaves us with a Dem candidate, whose policies and actions will lead to more attacks, by terrorist, on our soil and one GOP candidate, whose positions and actions most likely ( I don't trust McCain, even on the WOT ) will be the reverse of that.
Ergo, my statement, which is factual and has nothing whatsoever to do with an old COLD WAR canard from lefties.
