I wonder if there might be some pushback against the overly self righteous single issue voters that many think are hurting the republican party.

Especially from young Republicans. Definitely.

No, it would be tolerant people such as yourself that must be pushed back. Supply sider? Impressive results a mayor? Pffft. All I know is that Rudy is pro gay and I will not under any circumstances vote for they guy in the primaries or as a candidate [even when logic should be reminding me of the alternatives] because of his views about homos.

I'd rather lose to a liberal Democrat than lose to a liberal Republican. I will NOT vote for Rudy, in any election. At least with a liberal Democrat in office, their destruction of our national values wouldn't amount to a personal apostasy for my complicity in that election.

Indeed, when Democrats go about their efforts to bring our nation down, at least they bear the complete blame. I will not have the same results attributed to me and my vote.

I've already seen ENOUGH Supreme Cabal members bear Republican genesis and liberal rewriting of the Constitution. I will NOT see that again. I will not vote for it. I will not convince myself that Rudy will hold true to MY colors instead of his.

At least, Hillary will be more honest about her intent, even as she lies through her teeth about it. THAT's saying something.

If Rudy gets the nod, my vote goes to Tancredo or whatever third party candidate runs, or if none do, then the Libertarian candidate. Rudy supporters NEED to realize that Rudy WILL cost Republicans the election. When a sizeable percentage of your OWN party will not vote for YOUR man, then you have put forth a loser.

I'd rather see the other side win than see my side 'win' in title only. It's not about 'which side wins'. It's about which agenda leads. With a contest of Rudy vs. Hillary (or fill in your loser here), America's best agenda loses, no matter the outcome. I could NEVER support that.

You can cry all you won't that Rudy is better at least than Hillary. I don't see it. In fact, he's worse because he would tag the responsibility of the fallout of liberal socialism with MY label. NO way, no how. Not on my watch.

~faith,
Timothy.

Actually, the one issue voters are the "anyone but Hillary/Obama" crowd.

I'm a one issue voter...one issue at a time which includes big government, RTBA, abortion, WOT, political correctness, CFR, entitlements and the list goes on and on and one. I'm a Conservative first and foremost. If the Republican party can't serve up a Republican candidate that is a conservative I'll either vote third party (if there is a candidate that is a conservative) or write myself in again as I did in 2004.

The reason many do not support Rino Rudy is not just one issue. He is on the wrong side of guns, gays, abortion, global warming, etc.....

Which "single issue" are you so worried about?

The problem with Rudy is that he is wrong on *all* the issues. Pro-life? Rudy's got a record of nominating democrats as judges by an 8-1 margin, supporting federal funding of abortion, and seeing abortion rights in the constitution. Support secure borders? Rudy's to the left of GW Bush on immigration, opposing English as an official language and turning New York into a sanctuary city. In fact, Rudy brings nothing to the table for conservatives of any stripe.

What is that "single issue" in your mind, if you don't mind explaining?

Far as I can tell the single issue is that he's a flaming liberal. THat's makes it an impossible "issue" for a conservative to swallow.
