I don't support Rudy and I'm optimistic that someone who hasn't even declared yet, has numbers rivaling Hillary. I'm optimistic that Republicans and conservatives could potentially have a candidate to vote FOR, not someone to elect as a vote AGAINST Hillary.

What amazes me is that many of the Rudy supports have become one issue voters (he'll be good on the WoT), yet have decried others for making abortion, or the 2nd Amendment, or gay marriage their 'one' issue.

As a Republican, I can not in good conscience vote for someone who has only one quality that Republicans and conservatives identify with- especially when I know someone like Fred Thompson, who is completely electable and can win- is an option. It is Thompson and his consistent support of traditional conservative issues that will unite the party.

Not someone who will polarize it. Like Rudy.

Their only arguments on that issue is that he threw Arafat out of a NYC event and was in NYC during 9/11/01.

I could easily put up a good counter to all of that.
