Not that it matters ... but I don't hate Rudy. I believe that he is probably a very nice person and I would love to have him over to dinner -- I think he would be a very interesting person.

The fact that I do not want Rudy to be President of the United States does not make me a Rudy-Hater, or a hater of any kind. It does make me a principled conservative, not willing to compromise that which I will have to answer for in the next life.

I respect your opinion. The 'hook' line in the title refers to a small number of members who have recently taken the tone of discussion well-below a polite level.

The Rudy supporters cannot understand this concept.

I totally agree with your post. Hate the sin; not the sinner.
