You really want the 2008 election to be waged on Womens and Guns Rights? Is that what you are saying? That in the dark face of everything that is going on in the world today, abortion and guns is what is going to make or break the presidential election?

I'm not ignoring the issues. I am simply prioritizing.

Again you ignored the question, yet asked another expecting me to answer yours when you apparently don't have the guts or integrity to answer mine first.

I agree, I think the WOT is the most important issue facing us. Of course I won't vote for Rudy in the primaries because of social issues.

In my view Newt Gingrich and Duncan Hunter are Rudy's equal if not his superior in prosecuting the war. Which requires a coherent understanding of terror, a comprehensive world view dictating how we'll prosecute the war internationally (it's more than Iraq), as well as the ability to manage the war in Congress. A potentially hostile Congress. McCain is probably supreior on this issue.

I appreciate Rudy lowered the crime rate in NYC, and has done private security consulting, but to my knowledge he hasn't addressed the WOT in any specific way. In fact I don't have a clue what he'd do about Iraq. Other, perhaps, than deny visas to Iranians visiting the UN, which makes nice headlines but that's all.

Can you convince me that Rudy has a clear advantage over these candidates, a large enough advantage to cause me to throw social issues out the window?
