You are correct: politics is a trade-off, yet, at the same time, if the Republicans go with Rudy, they are certainly going to be conceding some of the central Republican and conservative dogma. It's one thing to disagree with a candidate on a few issues; it's a another to forget the issues in a desperate attempt to win the election. I'm not commenting on whether or not Rudy is the former of the latter; however, I do believe that it is certainly a debatable topic.jasendorf wrote:
Are you honestly going to stand there and proclaim that John F. Kerry was the Democrats "dream" candidate? That there wasn't a voter out there who said, "Well, he isn't perfect...I don't agree with him on several issues...but at least he isn't the other guy"
Give me a break, jasendorf....you are simply showing that you are eager to paint Republicans as hypocrites regardless of what they do.
Rather than being pleased that the GOP is willing to consider a more moderate candidate, rather than viewing it as perhaps a chance to speak to more voters, rather than simply the far-left or rabid right....you are here licking your chops at the chance to taunt and tease a small minority of voters because their party hasn't found someone "perfect" for them to vote for...
Its really a bit pathetic to see someone so eager to mock and taunt people for doing what all voters do...look at the candidates and pick the one that shares as many of the political views as possible with them.
Some Republicans might not be thrilled that Giuliani is pro-choice...but they might be willing to make that concession rather than dealing with someone who wants to socialize health care...
Politics is about trade-offs...and only the most rabid partisan would be unable to see it as such, but rather see it as an opportunity to call people names because they might nominate a moderate candidate.
