I’m an early supporter of Rudy, but I am not happy with his latest comments on abortion. I did think his statements abotu the type of judges he would appoint were helpful. However, for me the WoT remains the one overarching issue this election. Until another stongly pro-life candidate can demonstrate traction in the polls, and $$$$..I will have to remain with Rudy..

I can see your point, although I don’t think polls at this stage in the process have any meaning other than wish-fulfillment for the persons conducting the poll. We’ll have polls that matter when the primaries begin!

Regarding the WoT, I honestly don’t see why Rudy should be considered a particularly strong choice. He has no government experience of defense, and his role post-9/11 was disaster recovery and confidence-building, not defense (and even less, offense).

What, specifically, do you anticipate he would do, as President, to make us safer from jihadist attacks?

“However, for me the WoT remains the one overarching issue this election.”

I am truly puzzled about why people think that RJ will be such a warrior king when it comes to the war on terror.

All I ever saw him do was to run around after 9/11 and give pep talks. He also told a few Arabs where to stuff it.

BFD. Any two bit politician would have done the same.

Anyone care to show me the error in my thinking?

Except that he undermined those statements by saying a strict constructionist, in his opinion, could uphold Roe as long-standing precedent.
