These people are starting to sound like anyone who is for Rudy must be sent to a re-education camp and soon. That's eerily reminiscent of another kind of person than a conservative, if you know what I mean.
I agree with you .. did you see my #201 ..??
Guess they don't like some of us not marching in lockstep! I thought that was what being a Conservative was all about -- we could think for ourselves and not be mind-numbed Robots (Rush)!
Gee, that's so subtle /s
I'm both a social and a fiscal conservative, I don't believe the two are mutually exclusive. Clearly the best chance the GOP has of retaining the WH is w/ a candidate that represents both wings of the party. Any candidate that repreesents only one side of the party WILL be defeated.
Frankly, I find Rudy an engaging person and would consider him if he stepped up to the social issues as a conservative, in the absence of that I'm afraid I can't support him. I have no ax to grind, its not personal, its just that lukewarm reps are a waste of everyone's time.
Look at W. He was not the conservative candidate in '00 but he won the GOP because he was "electable". The best that we can say about his performance is taxcuts and WOT, everywhere else he's been dismal (and let's face it on WOT he's been less than brilliant).
Still, I think everyone here agrees that a hitlery pres. would be a disaster of biblical proportions.
If we must have this debate now is the time for it, but I hope that we can elevate the rhetoric above the "you're a facist" level of discourse.
The issues are too important, our resources are not infinite and our enemies never sleep.
