Entry: Getting Comfortable With Rudy, Part II Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/getting_comfortable_with_rudy_part_ii#8905 Post contents: Soc&Paleocons shouldn't be suprised. Robertson (and snakelike Ralph Reed) sandbagged a then viable Pat Buchanan in South Caroinal in '96. Of course, their candidate Bob Dole pledged eternal fidelity to the Pro-life cause. Come the convention and the nominee tells the press he hadn't read the Pro-life plank and didn't intend to. So much then for GOP establishment committment to "Permanent Things" and if anything, more so now. But I guess these are the prices one to pays to maintain an aura of "influence" and more to the point, keep lucrative cable positions intact! Sent at: 2008 08 21
