Doesn't it seem a little odd to say that you would support a leader who will not backdown from social positions that you loathe? The product of which would be bad laws and policies which you loathe? Hold on to your conservative principles when you vote, because supporting Giulianni will have far reaching effects if he wins the nominsation and it will essentially signal the end of a National GOP that even tries to be socially conservative.
A win for a social liberal in the GOP would suggest to the party leadership that the social conservative nature of its platform is not essential to win elections. Consequently, the party leadership will not support conservative legislation because it shows that the base is willing to compromise on conservatism and support "progressive" social positions in a candidate. (In other words the party will know that conservatism is not a prerequisite for winning the GOP nomination with the result that the GOP will produce even less conservative results).
Clearly I'm getting very frustrated. I suppose that is why the citizens of some nations ignore certain things just to usher in a "strong man" dictator.
