THE FUNDIES TO RUDY: "DO NOT WANT"

This is great! The Fundies decisively rejected the GOP front runner in a straw poll at the so-called "values voters" conference in DC.

The Swamp provides the results:

The overall totals:
Romney: 1,595
Huckabee: 1,565
Paul: 865
Thompson: 564
Sam Brownback, who has quit the race: 297
Duncan Hunter: 140
Tom Tancredo: 133
Giuliani: 107
John McCain: 81

SOME FUNDIE REACTIONS:

“I could never vote for him under any circumstance,’’ said Chris Carmouche, of Lorton, Va. “He’s a RINO -- Republican in name only,’’ he said of Giuliani. “What’s unforgivable are his positions on abortion and the family.’’

"Honestly, most people did not care for him till 9/11 happened," said Joyce Zounis of Denver. "He became a hero, rightly so. But, I don't think it qualifies him to run our country." NPR

"He comforted a lot of conservatives," said Bob Kilbanks, an anti-abortion Republican and former congressional candidate in Pennsylvania. "It would be against my conscience to vote for him, but I think he would get a lot of conservative votes and he would come as near to protect life without changing his views and values." AP

Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, which organized the conference, said he could not vote for Giuliani, even if he was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate."I will not vote for a pro-abortion rights candidate," Perkins said. The Raw Story
