And if Rudy is the party’s nominee, by not voting for him, you in effect vote for the Hillary/Hussein Obama ticket. Nice Going, you really proved your point.
***I knew that sooner or later, I would be using Leatherneck’s response to this drivel.
From the bug zapper thread, “Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?”
“Thing is, “none of the above” isn’t a choice. If the choice in the general election is between Rudy and Hillary, ONE of the two WILL be President, no matter how much you detest them both, and you will have the live with the consequences of that.”
Missed this part sorry.
No I won’t have to live with the consequences of a damned thing. The Republican Party will.
A choice between horse poop and cow poop isn’t a choice.
As I’ve stated before, I think it would be the end of the GOP. GOP Candidates move to the right during primary season and Demos move to the left; and then when they get the nomination they move to the center. That means rudy would be moving even further leftward.
Once he shuts out the right from participation or enfranchisement, the rift would be complete: no more GOP as we know it, just democrat and democrat lite and maybe a new Conservative party. A similar thing happened to the dominant party several generations ago, and the Whigs were decimated when they moved away from their core conservative values & the republican party came into being.
All this re-defining conservatism conveniently overlooks the fact that this is a socon website. I’m not interested in re-defining conservatism to fit the image of your tootyfruity solib candidate. I doubt Jim Robinson is, either. Such attempts are much better suited elsewhere, on another website. We’re pushing a socon candidate on a socon forum and running into people who like to think of themselves as conservative but they’re pushing a solib candidate on this socon forum and trying to get socons to compromise. Knowing that a solib candidate splits the socon republican base and that no republican ever won the presidency with a split base, that leaves me to conclude that this cult of personality values its own solib beliefs more than the health of the republican party. Folks like you are doing REAL damage to the republican party and I doubt your loyalty to it.

I’m not for Rudy, I just don’t want to see our party lose to the dims. And I must say that I think that Fred has a better chance at winning than Duncan.
I’ve been listening to Tammy Bruce. Smart lady, that one. She made the correct comment that ‘republicans’ lost the last election, not conservatives. I don’t know why the RINOs don’t just take the plunge and support Hillary since they’re so close to democrats anyway.
