Sometimes fighting for your principles means saving the movement over the party.

If Rudy loses - the GOP knows it needs the grassroots Social/Moral/Gun/Cultural Conservatives, and will stay in the fight for their causes. If he wins - they'll dump them faster than a ugly girlfriend, now certain that those issues are polarizing, irrelevant, and unnecessary for victory. Then the issues are dead, or as close as they can be to dead.

This is one of the most telling posts I've seen in a long time. So you anti-Rudy people are AFRAID that if Rudy wins that the party will stop pandering to your ideas of forcing your morality on others.

Many people who would otherwise vote Republican don't ... because they fear [rightly so in my book] the Jerry Falwell branch of the party.

W. gave them a swift kick in 2000 and they deserve another and soon.
