I just don’t think religious cons should rule the roost anymore.

They never have. But no Republican has won the presidency in the last half century without the fervent support of the religious right. We are the ones who pounded the pavement for Ronald Reagan and GWB. We did not suppport Ford (Carter was the choice of the religious right in 1976) and we were lukewarm on the re-election of GHWB and on Bob Dole.

We will not be there for Giuliani.

“They never have.”

You saying that Bush isn’t a religious conservative? Give me a break. You act like religious conservatives are the only ones to get republicans elected. Its not so. Its independents and cross over democrats that have gotten republicans elected president. And the more adamant religious conservatives are that its their way or the highway, the less likely independents and democrats are going to be to join to get another one elected. If other cons make the case that Giuliani(or anyone else for that matter)is the only one that can beat Hillary then religious conservatives should fall in line. If they do a third party candidate or stay at home, then they should get what they deserve which is Hillary.
