Here's the question I want answered:

Is Driving Social Conservatives out of the GOP Good for the Country? Thought-Provoking Must-Read for Rudy-Groupies.

[Rex Anderson]

Most of the ones here claiming to be social conservatives are not members of the Republican Party.

Go read post #385, it might show you where many of us are coming from.

With all due respect JC, NO ONE is 'driving the social conservatives' out of the GOP (heck - I happen to be one myself).

Its the social conservatives (well, SOME who describe themselves as such) who are threatening to bolt the party if their candidate(s) is nominated. Why have a party if you're just gonna go home if you can't get your way?

NO ONE on the "open-to-Rudy' side has said anything about staying home if, say Duncan Hunter won the nomination (I wish he could - but he can't).

Its the folks on your side, no doubt feeling the shifting winds and notliking it, who are throwing a collective temper tantrum.
