override the fact that he is a Republican

I think being hypocritical on the issues might just define him as a true Republican.

Yes, they do. The "R" next to his name is not indicative of his political positions. The anti-gun and pro-choice ideals are the anti-thesis of being a conservative. I don't care about his infidelities, I'd say that roughly the same percentage of Republicans and Democrats have affairs.

Better than Mrs. Clinton's husband's infidelities, pro-choice, and anti-gun laws.

Of course not, because if Republicans embrace anything, it's rank political hypocrisy.
Look at all their blather about "Hollywood elites" being unfit to even speak opinions, and the way they rush to embrace actors as candidates.
Look at their fake outrage over moveon.org's ad questioning Petraeus, then bending over backwards to excuse Limbaugh calling soldiers who disagree with him "phony soldiers."
If Guiliani will allow the uber-wealthy corporate interests to call the shots, the Republicans won't care about his purity on issues. That's all a smokescreen to placate their "base" into voting against their own best interests, anyway.

Not only is "truth seeker" correct I have a real problem with candidates changing positions just to get elected.
If some facts come along and they have a real change of heart that's fine.

If you would have added "pro-gay" on there, you would have described the stereo type of a Liberal. Yet he is one of the front runners of the Republican candidates. How is that even possible?????

It might. I agree with him on both issues, as well as his stance on crime and the economy. As for the infidelities, I couldn't care less!

No, what really matters is his enthusiam for continuing the war in Iraq.

Don't forget he marched in Gay Pride Parades in NY, and he's a transvestite.
Hey, I'm not making this up!
