I want to support him. I really truly do. He's the frontrunner so far. But with everything I'm learning about him...I just can't. It's a matter of principle.
And I'm still trying to figure out why there are so many Rudy supporters here.
Desire to beat Hillary? I dunno. I think other candidates can beat Her Heinous too.
That is EXACTLY how I feel. The guy is likeable. He would be excellent and do a great job on some issues. But I can't set my principles aside just so someone else won't win.

Because they have "the sky is falling mentality" that is telling them that it's Rudy or nothing, that because he is running as a republican (or says he is) that we can and should vote for him. His record is crystal clear, where he stands is unmistakable, some just choose to see what they want. I and many others see him for what he really is...a lib.

Speaking for myself, I'm not a Rudy supporter. I'm a Hillary hater. And I don't see anyone else who can beat her among our choices.

***That caught me by surprise as well. I think part of it is our own making. Liberals go on over to DU and they get emotionally hacked to pieces, then they wander over here and freepers are generally very nice people. You can disagree all day and not get banned. So they stick around because it feels comfortable. But they forget what motivated the whole setup in the first place and they don't value some things as much as socons do.
Many of the Rudy supporters simply agree with Rudy on the issues and have trouble seeing why we can't just let it slide on such little issues as... (fill_in_the_blank).
