Please keep in mind that the Second Amendment is not a "social issue" but a Constitutional one.
The right to not have one's life terminated prematurely without having committed a crime or having been convicted thereof by a jury of one's peers, thus receiving due process of law, is another, arguably Constitutional issue, albeit one rendered fuzzy in some minds by disingenious arguments about when, exactly, life begins.
Actually, there are plenty of threads for those who are so inclined to promote or dismiss Rudy, at least one an hour--or so it seems, so let's not hijack this one.
And Rudy will have to make clear that he'll push no federal gun control, or else he'll not stand a chance in the primary.
Abortion, you're just going to have to understand that there are reasonable, intelligent people who believe in the conservative use of federal power who disagree with making a federal law against abortion. Our coalition was built on the understanding that neither side would make any changes to abortion laws, with the exception of over-turning Roe v. Wade. We both want this thrown back to the states, and not a federal issue.
I'm more talking about the attempts of the socials here to take control of this coalition and force the rest of us out. I don't specfically mean to stump for Rudy. My first choice is Newt, who is pro-life. I'd settle for Rudy as a backup, cuz he fits the coalition's needs.
Except now the socials are trying to change the agreement.
