Unfortunately for conservatives, not all republicans are evangelicals.

I wish the evangelicals would be honest and stop identifying themselves as (and attempting to coopt) the term "conservative".

It's pretty clear from this and virtually every other Giuliani thread that the evangelical conservatives (values voters, social conservatives, whatever) consider themselves the exclusive bearers of "conservative" values.

It is the haughty exclusivity (which we see from them in other domains) that makes their posts rather repellent.

So c'mon you values voters, you social conservatives, you evangelical conservatives... fess up to what you are and stop trying to slander other conservatives.

I like the ring of "Evangelical Party". And best of luck on that.

By the way, it's unlikely that I'd support Giuliani, there are too many other good candidates out there.

Ah, the march of the "only true conservatives".

Oh, it's one of the oldest silly debate tactics on the web. Those folks are just using 'liberal' as an insult for anyone that doesn't agree with them.

If I only had a nickel for every time I've read someone saying, "If you don't agree with me about (fill in pet issue here), you must be a baby-killing, gun-grabbing, faggot-loving liberal!"

You can call me "evangelical" all you want, it's still a falsehood. I'm not insulted by it even though you clearly intend it to be an insult.

BTW when you ran down your list, you missed the two most important issues in my eyes and they have nothing to do with morality.
