My choice at the time was him or David Dinkins for mayor of New York.
He’s not my ideal candidate, None of the current three are.
I am anti-abortion and don’t believe in gay rights, gun control and many other issues that he believes in.
But if I am ultimately presented with a choice of Rudy against ANY Democrat or a third party candidate that has zero chance of winning, I will enthusiastically vote for Rudy.
There are fascist forces in this world that seek to abort our entire way of life.
Preventing western culture from those barbarians is JOB ONE in my book (having witnessed the WTC burning on the horizon from my Long Island home), and I trust Rudy to do that. Like it or not, America is the only bulwark against Islam-fascist tyranny.
Fire away.
I meant Protecting Western culture, not Preventing.
By the way, Romney is my preferred candidate of the current top three.
I understand your loyalty to Rudy, but what makes you think he is the only candidate capable of continuing the War on Terror?
Just for the record, not every Rudy supporter is a “Rudybot”. That name is given to those who go into an automatic mode, defending him at every turn, telling us every few moments that “he is the only candidate who can win and if we don’t support him, we will get a President Hillary”, yada, yada.
I am a conservative and like Rudy (not every single issue). In particular, I like his leadership and strength on law and order, defense, and economic policy. I don’t like Abortion, but frankly that has become more an issue for the courts.
Your reasoning is fine, it is the cliche premise that Rudy can or will be our only choice that gets everyone’s hackles up. We are a long, long way from that right now. So if Rudy is too liberal to be your nominee, then say so. Speak out for the candidate(s) you do like, and you never will be forced to “hold your nose” in the voting booth.
