I agree 100%. Conservatives are in the minority, just like Socialists are in the minority, just like Libertarians are in the minority.

Rudy can pull enough people together to get a republican in the white house. No one else can. Conservatives need to get over themselves and get busy electing people who support their agenda at the local level where coalitions are not needed. Build a congress that reflects conservative values then get a coalition builder like Rudy into the White House.

Its digusting how so many people stayed home during the last congressional election and let the Republicans lose Congress.

There is more important issues then abortion and being able to owning .50 calibre sniper rifles or machine guns.


Abortion and Gun control are not huge issues when you consider the country is going to go bankrupt within 30 years if we don't do something now about the size of government and the cost of entitlements.

We have huge problems facing this country which is why we cannot under any circumstance afford to have Hillary elected.

John, I'm going to politely disagree with this. When the country does go bankrupt within 30 years, the one God-given, constitutionally enumerated right that I and my family will depend on most is the 2nd amendment. I'm not referring .50 cals or machine guns (though there is absolutely nothing wrong about those types of firearms). I'm talking about my semi-automatic rifles and handguns that will be necessary to protect and defend the lives and liberty of my family and I against criminals (who will never obey gun-control law) and tyrants.

I won't support any candidate in a primary election who has shown a propensity to agree that more gun-control (which has been implemented with a policy of incrementalism since at least 1934) is a good thing regardless of what the constitution has to say about it.

Should that type of candidate advance to the general election, even with a (R) behind his name, well, I haven't yet decided if I can hold my nose that long.

FRegards,

H-T
