If he wins - they'll dump them faster than a ugly girlfriend, now certain that those issues are polarizing, irrelevant, and unnecessary for victory.

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.

I am hearing that more and more here in OK and I couldn't agree more!

I find it amazing how many Liberal boogyman quotes get posted by you in the Rudy fetish threads. Liberal talking points about the SoCons right down to the letter - ver batum.

No. You should be on Democrat boards convincing them to be better fiscally and on defense - political issues - than in a party where you're trying to convince people to willingly surrender their deeply held beliefs.

But I think there are some of those Christians at your door right now with Bibles waiting to take you away to a concentration camp. So ping me when you escape.

They're neither conservatives or culture warriors. Jerry Falwell may be a nut, and he is, but he's not out there preaching that pro-choice is ok. The ones who fear the Jerry Falwell branch of the party are secular progressives, because everything they stand for, don't stand up to everything that it written in the Bible.

I don't fear Jerry Falwell. I think he's just a nut.

Ehhh, abortion is one of the few things Bush has actually been good on.
