Oh, absolutely the Republicans can KEEP Rudy. I have respect for his leadership abilities, his strength on defense and the war against Islamofascism.
On the other hand, I won't be Bushed or Doled again. Rudy is pro-abortion (even partial birth), pro-homosexual unions, pro-gun control... Uh, no. I will no longer bow at the altar of political expediency to elect a "Republican."
But the Republicans here in SC and nationally ran me out of their party in 1996 anyway, when they caved to Clinton. In the more than a decade they held the Congress, they ALWAYS gave in, compromised, got along -- LET THE DEMS WIN. I've voted for EVERY Republican Presidential candidate since Reagan -- but I won't vote for a "Republican" who is not a principled Conservative.
Hey! I hope you can pitch in with the Duncan Hunter campaign in South Carolina. I like you, am not about to bow down in the House of Rimmon, even if it is styled a "Big Tent". I intend to do my utmost, wherever and whenever, to advance the Duncan Hunter campaign. He is the man we need in these times. I know better than to place my trust in men, but I pray God will guide Duncan Hunter, and indeed, each of us, to do His will.
