Yes, it is. As Reagan the elder liked to say, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Very good piece.
He's right again. I will faithfully support and vote for our GOP nominee.
I guess Michael forgot his dad ran against a sitting Republican president.
I agree with the article. It's absolutely ABSURD that so many conservatives and Freepers are 'one issue' voters.
Exactly, this WOT thing is overblown. By the time it's over, the USA will be another France if we don't engage all the enemies of the republic.
Mike's a good guy. If you want to slap idiot sons of Ronald Reagan, slap Little Ronnie the Ballerina.

Excuse me Michael for wanting all the dirty laundry revealed BEFORE the nomination is given. All we need is for Hillary's secret police dropping a scandal bomb the week before the election and the Republicans not having the MSM on their side to offer a response.
LOL>....so true.....I don't think Rudy followers should take this as a wholesale endorsement. I'm not sure who I'll support yet, too eary, but I've been advocating for at least we be civil within the ranks.....sometimes on FR the hate to each other is worse than what the liberals show
Duncan would make a great VP for Newt! :)
I like his show. He doesn't come across as a Rudy shill, he actually seems to like Romney more than the rest. I think he's pretty fair and as frustrated and confused as the rest of us.
However, his basic point does have some merit.
A non elected sitting president and in the primaries, DUH.
I do not demand perfection, but I will not give up most of my views to settle on trash like Rino Rudy. I will go third party first.
Mike, Mike, Mike...
Where have you been? Stand up for your dad. The Rats are died-in-the-wool LIBERALS. First, foremost, and ALWAYS. They have "An America is Always Wrong" Foreign Policy Litmus test. They tried to drum Lieberman out of their party.
And they also manifestly DO have an explicit social litmus test on abortion. They are for "the right of the women (note not mother) to choose" infanticide in all but name.
How many truly Pro-Life candidates are there amongst the Rats who waffled and postured on the issue? How many Rats would openly declare themselves against the abomination of Roe v. Wade?
None that I recall.
Do you mean 'as in Rudy's public endorsement and vote for a far-left, extreme liberal socialist like Mario Cuomo',,,over the Republican candidate (Pataki)?? Does that count?
I'm not looking for "perfection" as I know that there was just One, and He wasn't RR but I am seeking a candidate who doesn't equivocate and doesn't need to change his views, depending on which electorate he is appealing to in given election years.
So far, I'm only finding one in the GOP pack and he's not in the "top tier" yet but, like Rush, it's way too early to tell what future events will bring.
Check the poll on this site a lot are going to stay home. We can and have to do better then Rino Rdy.
That is true. Mitt Romney could be an imperfect candidate ALL Republicans could get behind in the end. Maybe. We shall see.
One thing is certain, Rudy Giuliani is so far away from the GOP`s conservative platform, he isn't worth even considering.
I know plenty of people who claim to revere Ronald Reagan today who conveniently forget their criticisms of him when he was in office -- hypocrite for not getting rid of the Department of Education, senile fool being taken in by Gorbachev, out of touch, not a REAL conservative like Jesse Helms, appointing globalist internationalists and liberals like George Schultz and Richard Schweiker, etc. Of course now even lots of liberals claim he was a great President. This stuff never changes.
