Where we differ, I guess, is that I feel the country has still not recovered from Carter. He just wrote a book excoriating Israel, making bad trouble for the Jews, to paraphrase Lillian Hellman. He runs around the world making life difficult for us, for western democracies - all because he had the cache of being President of the U.S. once.
One thing I know about Guiliani (and I will support whoever the Republican canidate is): he will never betray us to the world.
I definitely agree with you on that! Like I said, there are many considerations when deciding whether or not to vote (if it comes to it) for Rudy or to sit out or vote third party. The damage that can be done by a Democrat in 4 years is most definitely something that must be weighed.
I guess I'm just trying to show that there IS a logic behind a decision to sit out the election. It's not just a bunch of people getting all pouty because their guy wasn't nominated. Sacrifices are required for either decision, and people are trying to do what they think is best for the country, in the short run AND the long run.
