I have my preference as to whom I would want to be the nominee on the GOP side this next election. I am hoping the nominee is my guy.
If I happen to not get my nominee, I'm not going to act like a child, whine and moan, and let a Marxist win because I want to teach the GOP a lesson.
For those who seem to think that is a smart idea, let me remind you that having a Marxist in the White House, is not the best way to further the conservative cause.
Most conservatives are pretty smart people, so it amazes me when some think that voting third party or not at all is a good idea if they don't get their choice for the GOP nominee.
I've heard all the hyperbole of Rudy being the same as Hillary etc etc, and friends, if you believe that, I have a bridge you might want to buy. Being Mayor of a liberal state is a lot different than President of the USA. I have more faith in people like Rep Peter King who is endorsing Rudy, than those who have the hate Rudy syndrome, and are not willing to listen to what he has said he will do as president. He's not my choice for nominee, but if it's between him and Hill, it's a no brainer. Rudy is not a Marxist.
There will always be those who are less conservative than I am running for office, and until all the Rush "babies" grow up and run for office, we will still have some out there that won't be 100% conservative 100% of the time. But I am not of the mind to give the country over to the extremes because I can't have my perfect conservative in 08.
For those of you here on TH who want to be little "clones" to be popular with someone who gives you kudos, you say you will do the worst, and let a Marxist win. I wonder what you will really do in the privacy of the voting booth...I hope the right thing. I for one, will not be influenced by those who would send our country into chaos because of having a tantrum to "teach the GOP a lesson", and I hope there are more of me out there in the real world than you...
