"But ... but ... you have to be willing to compromise! It doesn't matter if what you're compromising comprises the core of the ideology. As long as you get someone elected who has an "R" behind his name. He could be Chuck Hagel. Or John McCain. Heck, he could be Hillary Clinton if she'd change her party affiliation."
Hillary Clinton is precisely what you will get if you don't compromise. And watch her appoint some of the most liberal judges in the country to the Supreme Court instead of the moderately conservative to conservative judges Rudy will likely appoint.
Honestly, if people such as yourself on this board stand by their current position and vote for someone like Duncan Hunter in the primaries, you will be doing Rudy a favor because he will get the moderate Republican votes.
Hillary Clinton Lite is precisely what you will get if you elect Rudy Giuliani!
So instead of running off the cliff, we walk.
No thanks.
Why do the conservatives have to be the ones who must compromise? Why can't the RINOs compromise?
