Rudy Giuliani will prevent a conservative crack-up.
Today, after very little effort, Giuliani is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. Dick Morris is predicting a Giuliani vs. Clinton race in 2008. Yet some conservatives are dubious of the man who cleaned up New York, returned it to a vigor unimaginable from the 1960s through the 1980s, and then led New York and the country heroically through 9/11. Well, one knows a politician by the company he keeps, and Giuliani has around him the financial people who created the libertarian-conservative Manhattan Institute. He relied heavily on the Institute's policies while governing New York. He will rely on libertarian-conservative policy makers in his race for the White House and once there.

Outside of the WOT, LIEberman has a more left record than Hillary.
I'm not here to throw dirt, but if you want it, I'm sure that I can find it.
Soros also gave to George Bush in 1980. While the irony is delicious, and the possible theories remarkable, I doubt it amounts to anything more than attempting to derail the more conservative candidate (Reagan in 1980, and George W. Bush in 2000).
Tell me that a year from now, when Rudy is still doing well. :-)
When it comes to Ronald Reagan, you're fulla dirt throwing. You like to throw dirt about Newt too. You ain't fooling anyone.
Thanks for the info. I agree that was what he probably intended to do.
I really, really, really do not like you, and although I certainly cannot force you to refrain from ever posting to me again, I sure wish that you wouldn't.
Was she his first wife or second? I don't remember. I know the second one was at least half nuts; she was the one who appeared in a play whose name I'm too embarrassed to even type here.
I love how Rudy kicked Arafat out of a concert hall. It's a small thing, but I love that story.

This was an interesting article, in case you missed it:
The rebirth of New York City, the most visible urban achievement in the 20th century is the work of the person now dubbed America’s mayor. For the millions of Americans who live in New York and the millions more who work or whose livelihood has been affected by its revival the contrast between the pre and post Giuliani years could not be more striking.
His defense of Israel and intolerance for Arab and U.N. sponsored anti-Semitism is legendary.
He figuratively walked into the lion's den of a crime ridden, high tax, and decaying city and carried out a conservative agenda of tax cuts, crime reduction and, in the case of the Brooklyn Museum, defense of religion in the public square. On this count Giuliani seems to be the winner in the public character category for his extraordinary vision and leadership.

Really? It's gotten relatively little press; I didn't know that.
And as far as you not liking me, I couldn't care less, if I tried.
Unfortunately, LIEberman is one of my Senators. I happen to know his record thoroughly. He is so far away from being anything at all like or even "better" than Rudy, that it was incumbent upon me to refute your post; which is what I did.
Rudy's a politician, of course he does. He panders to the pro-Iraq war while domestically moderate to liberal crowd.
If you do a FR search for keyword "banglist", you'll find plenty of articles about this nonsense.
The way traditionally pro-life people's hearts were hardened when Roe became law? Making abortion legal also made it more morally acceptable to a large percentage of the population many of whom had previously been opposed to it. When something is legalized it also becomes more moral in the eyes of society. Overtime, generations of young who become exposed to such immorality also see it as moral, and thus there is a growth in the percentage of people in the U.S. population who now see abortion as moral compared with the day Roe became law.
The overturning of Roe will mean the issue will be returned to the states. Some states will keep it legal, others will not. But a decrease in the laws allowing abortion will effect an increase in the numbers of people who again believe it is morally wrong.
Should we have kept slavery legal because making it illegal would harden the hearts of some slave owners?
I heard you argument from Liberals back in college, and made similar arguments against it. It is as faulty and illogical now as it was then.
BTW, Reagan was divorced from Jane Wyman well before he and Nancy EVER met. This is hardly the same senario as Guilianni, Clinton, or Gingrich.
Soros and company are hedging their bets. We are being presented with a two card Monty from the Shadow party.
Giuliani will not appoint conservative jurists either. We will get a Mario Cuomo... People sure have poor memories if they even think Giuliani will behave exactly the opposite as president as he did while mayor.
Not a word from anyone about the security leaks and outright treason coming right out of New York from the media, the NYT and Rockefeller Plaza...
Exactly.
The two parties are so meshed what does it matter.
I'm a RiNO too, anyway.
