I don't like the Rudi is pro choice, willing to accept gay marriage or regulation on guns. Those are not conservative principles. But he is far more likely to keep up the fight on Islamic extremist then our left wing nutt jobs, going to be more reasonable in closing the border then our open border left wing nutt jobs, and will be far more unlikely to raise taxes then our planning to spend it all left wing nutt jobs.
So if we abandon Rudi or any of the "middle of the road" Republicans we end up with a left wing nutt job...so do you abandon those principles and support the "party" candidate or go third party and insure a left wing nutt job?

I'm not sure which way I will go yet. I'm hoping Thompson will gain some momentum. I'l tell you two things for certain though #1: I WILL vote
#2: I will NEVER vote for Hillary nor support voting for anyone that would result in her election.

To begin with, I have to admit that there is a lot of things to consider when it comes to making a choice as to who you should support. However, I bring to the table a little knowledge that was passed through Parliament in Britain just a few short months ago. Number one, the American War on Terror has not succeeded in its goal, to catch Osama bin Laden. Number two, at this point in time the war that is taking place has placed many nations at higher risk of being at the receiving end of a terrorist plot. So to put it kind of plainly, what Islamic Extremists have we stopped?
As for the immigration policy, shall we look at the term xenophobia to begin with. This is the term applied to anyone who wants to shut down our border with any country. In the late 1800s we didn't want the Irish here. In the earyl 20th Century we didn't want the Chinese and Japanese here. So this just follows suit, here in 2007 we don't want the Mexicans here. Why? The going claim is that they are taking all of our jobs. Well, fundamentally they are taking the jobs in this country that we really do not want. Take a close look at the kind of jobs they are getting for the most part. Many of them are taking jobs in meat packing plants, some are taking jobs in the orange orchards in California. Many more are taking jobs doing the hired hand stuff on various farms, specifically farms that deal with large amounts of livestock. They are taking over trash collection jobs. So tell me, what one of those jobs would you like? I am sure that someone would be more than willing to give you a job working in one of those fields. As for the others, let's face it, the Mexicans will work and they will work hard. That is something that is kind of lacking in the American mindset these days.
So while you are looking for a candidate to support, do not be surprised to find that not everything that the conservatives are saying is the truth. And at the same time the liberals can snare you just as easily. You really need to take a look at the positions of everyone. Right now there are about 8 views for the Democrats, and 6 for the Republicans. However, think of what is at stake if you want to maintain the status quo, there are a lot of things to be gained and lost on both sides of the equation.

Hillbo? Left wing nutt jobs? I see, if you are not a Republican or think the war is a bad idea, you are a "left wing nutt job." Kind of hard to take your question seriously. By the way, I used to vote Republican, but when people with your kind of thinking started to dominate the party, I left. Bring back the real Republicans, not these "nuttjobs" that are running it now.

Either way you're screwed.. Both the left and right are abandoning your "conservative" principles.. You might as well vote for the one who will actually bring down the nations debt.. Whichever you think that one is...

What ever political camp you belong. Real Americans have 3 boxes they keep close and use; The soap box, voting box, and ammo box. The professional politicians are the ones who have hurt our country, and the people are getting angry with all of them.

You are wasting your time with Rudolph, as Thompson will win the primary. Rudolph is an opportunist, raising money to go to the real candidate. Wake up to how it works.

what war on islamic extremists are you talking about? This is news to me. The only war I know about is the one in Iraq, which has nothing to do with anything if you listen to Bush. He says no connection with al quaeda, or oil or weapons of mass distruction or rescuing the iraqi people. The only thing that he is clear on is winning which he cannot define.
