Rudy isn't putting himself forward as socially conservative. It's obvious that he is far from it so it doesn't come off as the hypocrisy that comes from Newt. The American people have and never will like Newt. He blew his chance by this foolishness.
You summed it up perfectly.
Oh, so you subscribe to the theory that since everybody knows that the left is all trash without morals, they can do whatever they like, but if a Republican does it he's a hypocrite. Hypocracy, by the way, is the only sin the left recognizes.
My main point was that I will NEVER vote for Rudy because he's a liberal and quite possibly a tyrant in the making. Newt may have no chance, but I'd be a heck of a lot more inclined to support him than Dolph.
