“Rudy Giuliani is not running for Pope or National Preacher. It seems that some conservatives don’t understand that.”

Quite the contrary, with all due respect. We know what he is running for. Most of us, even though we may personally feel a lot of respect for Rudy for his 9/11 part, can’t vote for him. And I do mean can’t. We take our vote very seriously, and cannot in good conscience pull that lever. We, unlike a lot of Americans, have not evolved on morals integrity, character, trust, good judgment and what constitutes all those things. Those things are fixed, or core values. And we have not ever given up on the notion that leaders are to be held to a higher standard. Do many in WA? No, but those of us who wouldn’t and couldn’t vote for Rudy, did not vote for them either.

It isn’t about the person when it comes to like and dislike, it is about the country, what’s best for it, and expecting a higher standard, especially when it comes to CIC! Unfortunately that leaves out all of the top tier, and even a couple who may enter the race but haven’t yet. Whether we like them or not.

That is hard for Republicans to understand... And by that I mean the people on this board who are just Republicans, not conservatives. I don’t intend that as an insult, a lot of people have made the mistake of thinking this is a Republican party site. They think the party should be supported no matter what. They don’t understand they’re enabling a progressively more dangerous and liberal machine, and allowing their votes to be taken advantage of in the process. The sad truth is, if they’ll excuse anything in the name of keeping Democrats out of power, that means they don’t really stand for anything to begin with. If they’re supposedly pro-life, but are ok with voting for a pro-choice candidate, then what does pro-life even mean? They need to realize this isn’t a sporting event where you pick your favorite team - but the future of our nation.
