I am a Rudy supporter, and I find nothing in this article to refute. Maybe I missed something, but the purpose of a primary is to nominate the person that the largest percentage of the party wants.

Why is that such a hard concept to understand? If the numbers work out for Rudy, it will be Rudy. If they work out for Fred, it will be Fred. I hate the way we try and smear one candidate over the other.

Personally, I have trepidations on Freds health, and up to this point, he has not seemed, to me, that he really wants it. A lot of those perceptions could easily change when he starts campaigning, so I am not writing him off yet, but those are my reasons.

The trepidations I have for Rudy are also many. I am not 100% committed yet, but as of today he seems the strongest to me. These are my perceptions only, but I think 2008 will be a huge year for the War on Terror, and my gut tells me Rudy could handle it.

I am not trying to tell others how to vote. I respect everyones each individual reasons for supporting who they support, why can't you respect mine?

I am looking forward to a vigorous campaign season, and I think the strongest will survive. I don't have my crystal ball handy right now, so I don't know what will happen, but I do know that we have a strong selection, and out of the three leading candidates Rudy, Fred, and Mitt I will enthusiastically support them all. I also know Rudys liberal traits are a huge turnoff, so I don't need to be reminded of them, so there is still a chance that Mitt or Fred could seal my vote. But disparaging comments from others supporters don't help sway me.

These are my perceptions only, but I think 2008 will be a huge year for the War on Terror, and my gut tells me Rudy could handle it.

I guess that's one of my problems with the logic of the Rudy-apologists. It's absolutely outrageous to think that Rudy is the ONLY Republican who will aggressively and successfully fight the WOT. I feel strongly that ALL the Republican candidates (save one) will handle it well.

In fact, Pres Bush is doing a pretty darn good job right now,,,and will leave in place a formidable bureaucracy to continue the that fight regardless who is elected. To insinuate that Rudy is the only Republican (or even the best one) to fight the WOT is ludicrous.

I respect everyones each individual reasons for supporting who they support, why can't you respect mine?

My question is appropriate and reasonable considering the purge of Rudy supporters from FR that occurred earlier this year. Inferring anything else is of your own doing.

Hi codercpc. I’m with you. Funny how this works. There’s another thread going on right now where people are having a reasoned discussion. Several posters pointed out their preference for Rudy, especially if he’s up against Hillary. And the funny thing was, nobody was getting hassled for their views.

Then I come over here and....
