There has been a lot of talk in the Republican World of nominating Giuliani. The rationalization of supposed pro-lifers is incredible. Many are showing their true stripes as partisans, not principled Christians.
If the Republicans nominate Rudy we should not vote for them. If even a couple percent of the Republican "base" doesn't vote Republican, they will lose. While in the short term that might be bad, in the long run it will force the Republican Party to remain pro-life. What a lot of Pro-lifers do not realize is that the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, only really believes in its own power. It, as a political institution, views abortion like it does any other issue. If the party believes that pro-lifers will vote for them regardless, and that they can pick up some "moderate" voters by nominating a pro-abortion candidate, they will do it. Pro-lifers must understand this. We must get over partisan loyalty and view both parties as tools of expediency. Something to think about: seven of the current Supreme Court justices where nominated by Republican presidents, we have had Republican domination of Washington for about ten years, that control being complete for six years, and abortion is still completely legal. Now the Party is thinking about nominating a pro-abortion guy. At some point we have to ask ourselves: Are we a bunch of suckers?
