Oh, yeah. The GOP "progressive" standard bearer: pro abortion, pro gay rights, pro gun control, pro illigal immigration, pro environmentalism. Go Team!!

I can understand the MSM's push for this candidacy. I can even understand the push from radio pundits. What I cannot understand is the enthusism for Rudy displayed on this forum. It seems as if many FReepers - perhaps even most - are eager to concede defeat in the Culture War and are turning on those who still think it is worth fighting. On some of these threads, it looks as if FreeRepublic has morphed into FreeAbortions (at taxpayer expense). How do you account for it?

I don't know. Maybe someone should ask the FReepers where they stand on Rudy:

It is a loud minority. Look at the recent FR poll. Rudy only had the votes of a 15% minority of freepers.
