Please accept my apologies. I thought this was a forum where conservative solutions were championed, not ridiculed.

..but even were I to accept your "compromise is a virtue" brand of realpolitick, you're going to have to remember something, Rudy will never sell the "I'm a born again Christian routine" to Pat and Jim and D. James.

Even a crass pragmatist could come up with someone better than Rudy.

You're not presenting a solution. You're just saying unless you get your definition of a "true conservative", you're going to sit on your hands. That's not a solution, that's a recipe for surrender. It's not being conservative, it's being a whingeing brat.

..but even were I to accept your "compromise is a virtue" brand of realpolitick, you're going to have to remember something, Rudy will never sell the "I'm a born again Christian routine" to Pat and Jim and D. James.

Who said he would?

Name 2 candidates who are better positioned, then.

And you see McCain or Romney as "born again"? The way I see it, the Supreme Court might be resolved for the moment, so it is better to elect someone on national security issues than whether they are your type of Christian. Do we want to give everyting else we have to the Islamists and the Chinese?

You'd better rethink a lot of things. I'm a born again Christian, and I'm voting for Rudy. Your distaste for the man is far from universal.

Pat Robertson has already said that he could support Rudy. However he said he could never support McCain.
