Sorry, I completely disagree with your premise on the face of its illogical conclusion.
If Rudy could stop the liberal/leftist damage in New York, he can certainly do it for the country, where the infestation has not set in to the same degree.
And the media will hate him as much as George Bush soon enough.
My reason - people with narrow minds like you Garv.
Can you believe there was a time when people based their "selection on a President" on slavery alone. What's up with these people? </RINO> </COUNTRYCLUB>
Sidenote, Hillary, Spitzer. Ugh. Prayers up they miraculously lose.
It's the immigration that turned me off to Rudy, as below. WHY DON'T CONSERVATIVES REALIZE THAT MOST ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WILL DO OKAY ON TERRORISM...... IT'S THE AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS THAT IS DEFINING................
"While McCain has taken heat for his support of comprehensive immigration reform, Rudy is every bit as pro-immigration as McCain - if not more so. On the O'Reilly Factor last week Giuliani argued for a "practical approach" to immigration and cited his efforts as Mayor of New York City to "regularize" illegal immigrants by providing them with access to city services like public education to "make their lives reasonable." Giuliani did say that "a tremendous amount of money should be put into the physical security" needed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border, but his overall position on immigration is essentially indistinguishable from McCain's."
That's bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and "America's Mayor" actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:
"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."
Rudi or Hitlery.
take your pick
Great post.
Giuliani is a walking poster child for the godless lefty side of the culture war.
There can't any good reason for a conservative to be backing Giuliani at this early stage of the campaign. As a conservative I will be patient and wait to see who announces their candidacy for 2008 before I jump on anyones bandwagon. I think you're gonna be surprised, if not shocked when Iowa caucusvoters, and New Hampshire and S.Carolina primary voters don't choose Rudy.
"It's on to trashing Guiliani".
Shameless hyperbole.
If you lived it, you can't forget it. I'm with you all the way.
Couldn't express your sentiments better.
Safe Troops and Safe Country!
Go Rudy - I love tweaking our parties Holy Rollers......
"Leaders don't poll - they lead - you choose to follow, lead yourself - or watch the rest of us."
If you choose to be led over the bridge to the chasm of liberalism, go for it. I'll be behind you, but heading in the other direction.
You'd better get started, or you'll be too late for this election cycle. There are non-social conservative candidates who will still line up with you on most issues; I take it "most" is not good enough. My own opinion is that GW Bush is as socially conservative a president as is ever likely to be elected.
Correct - or as some us refer to you.
Our beloved wacko right side.
I still love you - we're on the same team - I just prefer
a different starting pitcher than you.
LOL
FREEPER SIR FRANCES DASHWOOD SAID IT BEST:
"The only way the Left can win is to destroy the Republican Party from within. They have lost the public argument and cannot win on the issues, they either have to have despotic judges do it for them, or they have to undermine conservatives in the Republican primary.
It is the only reason some are here now and within the Republican party, interlopers from the Left who can only defeat America and the Republicans by rotting the party from the inside out.
That's only because their pitting rudy against romney, both of who'm freepers percieve to be rinos. GIven the choice of two rino's most freepers would rather have rudy than romney. Toss in a conservative and they'd mop the floor with rudy.
