Seems you all are on the wrong forum promoting a liberal on a conservative board. Just saying.

Rudy's fiscal and national security record far overshadows his social liberalism and bizarre personal life. And yes, Rudy is a social conservative. He promoted equal rights and ended race-based preferences. He spoke out against welfare and fatherlessness, and drove the porn merchants out of Times Square. If that isn't conservative, then I don't know what is.

Sometimes I wonder if Jesus Christ couldn't win the "base" - after all, He said "Love Your Neighbor", which automatically disqualifies Him on national security.

Whatever. We gotta long ways to go. See you at the yard.

"Rudy's fiscal and national security record far overshadows his social liberalism and bizarre personal life. And yes, Rudy is a social conservative."

I am not trying to be argumentative with you, but your two statements above are about as contradictory as you can get. First you say Rudy's fiscal and national security record overshadows his social liberalism. Then you say yes, he is a social conservative. You can't have it both ways. I understand you are sold on Rudy, but you are either living in denial by saying he is a social conservative, or you simply are not being honest. His record speaks for itself and it clearly proves that Rudy is not a social conservative.

Why must everyone buy into that as readily as you profess to?

This forum has a lot of folks that can judge things for themselves and should be allowed to do so.

A few here have become very much a bit overzealous and that applies to both sides of the Rudy enigma, if that will assuage anyone's fear that I am picking sides.

It is still very much early in the game so to speak, the trying to stifle others to advance a candidate so eagerly and or trash them as some may choose to do makes this place more than a little tedious, imo.

Pom poms may dazzle the eyes but they also litter up the view. jmo

That's why he's polling way above the pack.

There is no issue that could be considered more important than national security.

There is an endless parade of single issue voters in the general population and FReepers alike and they share the same common stupidity.

One might not like gay, gun, tax, blah, blah, stances on a particular slice of our diverse population but it's all pointless if your dead.

Abortion, gay marriage and the like bear no relevance or priority when the residents of that same city have been wiped out by the islamofascists by a dirty bomb.
