Well many here who support Rudy could not honestly be labeled anything close to liberals. Their support of Rudy is deeply misguided like mine was, but it is by no means subversive. A lot of people are scared, the thought of Hillary or any Dem with both houses of congress in a time of war scares the bejeezus out of a lot of folks. They see someone who has been doing very well in the polls, and is strong on defense so people are attracted to him. The barrage of attacks on them only cements them in there positions. I believe that with reasoned and civilized debate, many “rudybots” will come to the same conclusion that I did, and that is “The emperor has no clothes”. Especially with the entrance of a consensus candidate. I just can’t see what good can come from a lynching at this time. The time for a good lynching was back in 05’ and early 06’, now it is time to at least try and reconcile our differences so that we can find that candidate that will rally together the various “conservative garrisons” that make up the GOP base, as well as inspiring independents to our banner.

I agree with you on that. I don't think that many of Rudy's supporters have set out to be trouble makers, but they are disrupting the forum.

When Steve Forbes first announced that he was running for President I bought him hook, line and sinker. Very many people on this forum very rudely pointed out that I didn't really know his true positions and gave me some facts. Another time I made a statement about Margaret Sanger. I was very, very rudely pointed to some facts that I didn't know. I still can't stand some of the posters that pointed me to the facts and I think they are rude and obnoxious, but I see that some of them are normally nice, but my stupid posts just brought out an emotional response. Regardless about how I feel about the posters, I didn't discard the facts they gave me.

Everyone here isn't nice. But most of us here are just passionate about issues and can do a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde on you in a heartbeat. If you are going against the tide on a conservative forum you are going to get a barrage of attacks. We aren't just calling them poopoo heads, we are giving them facts to reason with them and they are discarding them.
