Because They're bullies, Not Christians

From Political Wire:

Giuliani Winning Over Social Conservatives

Rudy Giuliani, "whose positions on abortion and homosexuality mark him as the most socially liberal Republican presidential candidate in more than a generation, is so far winning the contest for the support of social conservatives, according to a new analysis of recent polls," reports The Politico.

"Widespread perceptions that Giuliani is the most electable Republican in this year’s field are driving his support among social conservatives." If Giuliani’s success continues, "this apparent willingness to support a candidate who fails what were once regarded as litmus-test issues would mark a landmark shift in the political behavior of a constituency that has been a pillar of the modern GOP. Already the shift is spurring sharp debate among prominent Christian conservative leaders, some of whom warn that Giuliani backers are abandoning core principles."
