And that is what will happen if Rion Rudy is nominated. He will split the party and lose.
Yes, history must not be repeated.
Amen
Thats electoral accountability. The Republican Party earned what it got. The Republican Party betrayed its own electorate, and rather than back peddle, the Republican party is trying to create a NEW electorate by becoming "moderate".
Conservatives watch with silent mirth as the RNC and its back room boys fail to back the candidates who would unify the party and renew its promise to the conservative 40% base.
If they continue in this folly of tyranny by abandoning 40% of their electorate, the Republican Party will seal the fate of this nation into the hands of a radicalized Democrat Party.
Shame on the Republican Party. Rudy Giulliani is no president. And he never can be. His political expertise is strictly municipal. He has some big financial backers, and to make sure he does his best in return for their lobby support, Giulliani intends to run as an independent if he fails in the nomination race, ( he left his party affiliation blank on his election commission filings)and will take the New York vote with him.
You see this is not about the nation calling Rudy to service in its time of greatest need. Its actually about Rudy and his lobbyists.
Screw Rudy. He is of insufficient character , experience, and caliber to be president of the USA. He is not fit as a liberal to lead and unify the Republican party. Therefore his nomination would bring about a definite loss for the Republican party, either by failure to beat an Obama ticket, or by splitting the Republican party as an independent.
Either way , its all about Rudy, not about the nation, or the people.
Like millions of conservatives, I will not vote for a liberal. Those days ended for me with the Gang of 14, and its tyranny and abandonment of the conservative legislative agenda.Thats where the liberal Republicans put we conservatives,out the door, and they will not get us back by running a liberal for the nomination. We learned the hard way, and the Republican party has yet to learn the same lesson we have.
So there are very real reasons for NOT voting for a liberal like Rudy, and they are not as many suppose, based on intransigent conservatism, but on a real history of minority liberal Republican tyranny and betrayal of trust.
