No surprise there. These days, every time a Republican is forced to choose between supporting war-mongering and supporting anything else, war-mongering wins, hands down.

Guess the religious right and social conservatives have officially sold out now....

------------------------------------------
Past Robertson is just this old schmuck with a teevee show. He represents mostly himself.

The majority of the 'religious right' normally didn't vote. Given a choice between Giulani and Hillary, they will mostly return to their s=custom of not voting and waiting for Jesus, who, as we all know, is coming SOON.

Maybe next week. He'll clean everything up when he gets named King of the World.

(at least he is likely to do a better job than Leonardo de Caprio, who also proclaimed himself King of the World briefly.)

Well, I am part of this voting block. I have voted in every Presidential election since I was eligible (1972). That being said, if it is Guiliani versus Hillary, I will sit it out, as I postulate many such evangelicals will. This will, of course, only help Hillary, but such is Life sometimes. I simply cannot sell out my values. Give me a socially conservative Democrat, though...(but then again, isn't that an endangered species these days?)

As another member of said voting block, given the choice between the 2, and acknowledging just how important it is in dealing with the current global conflicts, with Islamofascist terrorism right near the top, it's no problem for me to pull Rudy's lever.  I'm not expecting the coming of Reagain II, but I'm hell not going to sit out and allow Clinton II in.

Is Sam Nunn still alive?

If he is, I'm sure the Democrats will disown him for his support for America.

As for me, I don't really have a favorite at this time. Rudy will be a disappointment to me if he's the nominee, but I'll vote for anybody who's opposing Mrs. Clinton.

As much as I amaze even myself in saying this... I'd vote for Clinton II before I'd vote for Rudy.

Chances are I'll just vote 3rd party again, though.

Don't vote for either one. Vote for Ron Paul.

sorry Prince......his position on the threat (or more so, lack there of) of militant Islam to this country & a good chunk of the rest of the globe, has unfortunately axed him from my small pool of Presidential options

To what end? Actual efforts at protecting liberty, actual efforts to shrink government rather then two-face lip service to either one.

Indeed, that too.
