p>So conservatives can do what they so often do. They can ignore Rudy's abysmal stance on these important issues, vote for an "anybody but a Democrat" candidate, and then spend the next four or eight years whining about the resulting train wreck. br> -- Ken Shreve /p>

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing the same old rant about Giuliani and his social views. Who are you going to vote for?

Romney? No, he's never flip-flopped on the abortion issue.

McCain? Oh, there's a conservative for you. Try fighting the war against radical Islam with his economic plan. Think about it for a minute, since you obviously have not; how do you fund the plans to meet the challenges of the future -- and they are many -- when you've got a guy who you have to drag kicking and screaming to approve an across-the-board tax cut?

Gingrich? Hell yeah! Maybe one day he'll get in the race. Although, based on recent articles from you all, I doubt you'd agree.

Brownback? Good credentials, but please. National stage? I think not.

Hunter? Protectionism, anyone?

Thompson? I like him, but is he even in the race?

Huckabee? Good one. What's his tax record? Come on?!

Fact is one's views regarding abortion don't matter nearly much as that person's ability to recognize true constructionists. What matters is that the President appoints originalists to the bench who will see abortion for what it is -- a complete violation of the Constitution. Hell, one only needs to read the preamble to see this. How does one secure the blessing of liberty to posterity when you kill that posterity in the womb?

Even our beloved Ronald Reagan -- arguably the staunchest critic of our abortion policy -- gave us O'Connor. A heck of a lot of good that did.

With the exception of the O'Connor appointment and the run from Beirut -- although in his defense he had larger issues to conquer at the time -- you'll never hear me mention a bad word about the great man, just for clarification.
