Sorry, not buying it. Guliani is the definition of RINO, and all the media spin in the past few weeks trying to portray him as a Conservative is laughable.
Rudy's not a social conservative, But a true conservative is un-electable. Face it- government is not going to get smaller, some people will have abortions, guns will be regulated like everything else, and most all you can really do is make those personal choices for yourself.
OK, so let us welcome Obama or Her Highness in 2008! Sure I would love Rudy G to be the pure conserv we all dream about, but haven't had since Ronaldus Magnus. He is far better than any Dem socialist pacifist. So dream on and pray for a reincarnation of Ronnie. It ain't going to happen. Not with this patch of Gopers. Newt would do it but would lose badly. That the GOP cannot afford in '08. I empathise with you but I want to win.
