He does have a point. If one believes in smaller, less intrusive, fiscally responsible government then none of the major candidates on either side are attractive choices. But it’s been that way for a 20 years now.

I don’t want to find a candidate who claims to agree with me. I’d like to see more of a track record.

Rick Perry (R-Texas) ran for re-election as governor and lied to the voters. He didn’t get my vote (I voted ‘Kinky’ Friedman). There was a Libertarian candidate (who didn’t even get to participate in the lone debate) but everyone else was a former (or current) Democrat even if they ran as “independents” or “Republican”.

After the election he renegged on his campaign rhetoric and laughed it off. The Republican voters weren’t happy. I could see through the man.

So I look at who it is, what they are saying, how they are saying it, what they’ve done in the past, etc.

I understand the opposition to Rudy. So oppose him in the primary.

Why should conservatives give the election to republicans who pass programs that speed the charge into national bankruptcy. These actions give cover to the socialists democrats to propose even more expensive programs in future. Not only that but the democrats even though they support these budget busting programs get off scot free when they fail because they can just blame the republican instigator. If we are to have socialist in government let the democrats be the socialists leading the nation to bankruptcy. The republican party can never recover if the blame for that debacle is the republican voter.
