It is two years away from the next Presidential election and many Republicans are rushing to tell us why Giuliani would be such a great President, despite the fact that he is pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, anti-gun -- you know the sort of things Republicans are known for.
It is one thing to hold you nose at election time and vote for the lousy candidate who managed to bubble to the top. But it's an entirely different thing to be one of the bubbles pushing a lousy candidate.
At this point, the field should be wide-open. We have the opportunity to pick someone that represents our ideals, not someone who stands against some of the more important ones. But based on polls of lousy #1 vs. Hillary, lousy #2 vs. Hillary, and so on, Republicans seem to be ready to crown Giuliani before any real contest, because he's the statistical best chance at power.
It seems every election cycle always comes down to a choice of power or principle. The sad thing is, this time around, it seems the choice is far to easy for a lot of people I hoped might have known better.
