it's a proven leader, strong on defending the country against terrorism, vs. treasonous Dems.

Then you're giving up without a fight, IMHO.

There are seveeral candidates who fill the bill, and are more conservative Republicans than Rudy.

You know what I think?

I think you're backing the odds on favorite because you're more interested in regaining power, and afraid of losing, so you're willing to set aside your principles on the hope that once Rudy gets in office you'll be able to affect changes from within.

You're playing the same old game that has always been played.

Business as usual.

"you're more interested in regaining power"

You bet I am.

Aren't YOU intersted in regaining power from the Democrats?

Name all the known candidates who can "fill the bill"; but, remember Newt and Thompson aren't running now.
