I'm on the same boat. I was on the fence at first, but lately, and since that "Rudy Supporters are traitors" thread 2 days ago, I am now firmly a die hard Rudy Supporter."
Jim, I hate to be the one to say this, but - here is further evidence of the "Law of unintended consequences" at work. You could have moderated the tone of this debate, prevented it from turning into accusations of "treason" and "liberalism" being hurled around - but you didn't. You tacitly encouraged it.
So Freepers like Psycho, myself, (and at least a handful of others who have chimed in as well - and who knows how many more 'lurkers'), took offense and now, instead of being merely open to Rudy, we are positively FOR him.
And I'll eat my kevlar helmet if I don't back him til the end - either of the primaries, or the general, however far he gets.
And if someone beats him in the primaries, I will vote for that person over anyone in the Hitlary party.
No offense intended, but who allows the comments of anonymous internet posters determine for whom they will vote? I certainlt don't know a lot of people who are so easily swayed by either positive or negative feedback.
Hey, I didn't write the post. I didn't write the ones from the other side either. Sometimes I've just got to say, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
