Both men are liberal RINO's and I want neither on a Republican ticket .
To keep hillary out of office, i would vote for either rudy, john, condi. I dont see any other republicans popular enough to take on hillary. If republicans want to keep control of the white house in '08, your gonna have to vote for whoever wins the primary.
Treachery should bear a high price.
Few people could convince me to sit home on election day. McCain comes close. I do not want him on the ticket.
Dance of the RINOs. No thank you.
Dem Lite.
In 2008, the base will be especially important because there will be a serious primary race on the Democrats side, so few of them will be tempted to cross over and muddy the waters. Pro-Choicer Giuliani is not capable of exciting the base because of his domestic liberalism (pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, who're we kidding?) McCain comes across to the base as a cranky self-centered show-boater who can't play Team Ball. While some of his views are Republican conservative, he operates like a Democrat Senator, and it is not fragrant to the base.
A lot of peole might be comfortable with Giulian at DoD or SecState or even as Veep, but top of the ticket is not in the cards for Rudy.
I agree 100%.
So...that said....who's it going to be for the GOP in 2008?
"I will not vote for McCain under any circumstance."
Same feelings here.
My choices based on 1-10 grading:
Buchanan 9
Tancredo 8
Giuliani 6
McCain 4
Rice .5
This is one of those stories that refuses to die. Rudy who? and mcpain (media Az) might square off somewhere in some forum, but not in Republican primaries. Maybe Rudy who? can join the Media Party if mcpain lets him. Maybe that's where they could "square off".
Rudy who? is a suppoter of gay "marrige" and Partial Birth Abortion. He can't win a Republican primary. mcpain just won't accept that he is hated in the GOP. He couldn't draw flys in one of our primaries. This is a stupid story.
There is a saying: "When RINOs clash, the grass gets trampled."
I hope they clash for the Democrat nomination. Both of these guys will not win the Republican primary. If for some reason, McCain were to win the Republican nomination it will be another Bob Dole performance. I can see the media now ready to dump out McCain's medical records 2 weeks before the election making the American electorate seem like he will be dying any day.
Hopefully we will see a "white knight" come along to rescue this party from the RINOS. McCain and Guiliani are not good for this nation.
Buchanan? Are you kidding. He will not win. Didn't he run before and receive like hardly any votes. Can't see this one. Hillary would win for sure.
