I would actually seek to vote for a Conservative Third Party candidate first, but in the case that it's only Rudy or Hitlery - yes, I would honest to God prefer Hitlery.

I understand where you are coming from. It sounds insane at first but you have a point. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum as you as I care nothing about social conservative issues and am a liberty and small government voter. I may face the same delima.

Right now, if it is someone like McCain or Rudy I'm voting Libertarian.

I don't see how any conservative could vote for Rudy as he is offensive to both social conservatives and liberty voters. The only people I could see voting for him and party loyalists and law and order conservatives.

This gets to my main point of the whole 2008 election. We need a candidate who is deemed acceptable to BOTH elements of the Republican Party - not perfect on both, but at least acceptable to both. Clearly, as is evidenced here, Rudy is unacceptable to far too many on the SoCon and gun end (heck, a huge majority of Freepers voted AGAINST a Rudy run at all).

There is a winning formula out there somewhere, but Rudy isn't it. We need to come to 2008 with a united GOP, and that is ONE thing even Rudy backers know he can't bring to the table.
