Many of you have hearts that are still a-flutter after watching the recent Rudy Giuliani love-fest on "Hannity and Colmes." But I implore you, do not be fooled by the packaging lest you forget we fooled ourselves in 2000, and apart from that candidate's appointment of John Roberts to the Supreme Court, his intractability pursuant to the war on terror and an overall good economy – we now have someone who refuses to halt illegal immigration and has abandoned border guards who should have received medals of valor for stopping illegal Mexican dope smuggling criminals, but instead received 11 and 12 years in prison.

Newt or Hunter. McCain and Rudy don't have a chance. Rudy thinks the second amendmdnt is about hunting and John has shot himself in all eight feet over the years.
If Newt gets in in the fall I will assess his platform in comparison with Hunter's. The other three in the news today are non-starters.
Temperament aside; he's right on the money.
Thank you
I prefer not to be noticed by those I don't know.
