I don't think we disagree too much. I also like Allen and I don't hate Rudy. To be honest, I don't hate anyone, including Clinton. It's a wasted emotion.
I am fiscal and social conservative. Abortion is the only issue I am not willing to compromise on, I just can't.
Food for thought.. Why can't George Allen or Rick Santorum still run for president?
I asked that same question and got shot down -- because they lost! I was donating to the Allen campaign from OK. If Rudy gets the nomination, it wouldn't surprise me to see George Allen as the VP on the ticket.
I won't compromise on my Rep and two Senate votes but in OK they are pro-life. To win the WH, I will compromise as long as the person is for strict constitutionlist judges and is personally pro-life. Rudy has said a number of times he is personally pro-life. As an elected official he has to uphold the law and the courts have the abortion issue in their hands.
What I won't compromise for President in the primary is supporting a spineless person on the WOT who starts dissing the President on wanting to send more troops. There I draw the line.
They can, they just haven't sought the office. I think George Allen would probably make a better candidate, because he already has leadership skills as a former governor.
