So if it comes down to that choice, should we flip a coin?

That choice can be avoided with by starting a strong push now for a candidate who supports and will not sacrifice core conservative values.

That goes without saying, but the possibility remains that we could end up with a ticket we didn't prefer.

[Man50D]

That only reinforces the point I’ve been making for some time. The Republican party is replacing it’s core conservative principles with socialism. Conservatives need to distinguish themselves now from the socialists by forming their own conservative party.

[snowsislander]

Giuliani is banking that the primary will be decided by people evaluating a candidate as “a whole”...

By my lights, Mayor Giuliani is the sorriest excuse for a Republican candidate that I can remember. I don't understand why he doesn't run as a Democrat; on the whole, it appears to me that his stands accord more with the Democrats than with the Republicans.

amid media buzz of Rudy Giuliani’s falling poll numbers

Poll numbers don't just fall by themselves. They have a lot to do with what comes out of the candidate's mouth. Past and present.

Maybe, but the odds of creating a new party and having it win are pretty slim. At least in the near term. I'm betting my efforts on just trying to get the best candidates we can to go up against the Dems.

“Rudy Giuliani’s falling poll numbers”

Is it too late for the Rudymeister to change parties? He keeps bragging about cross-party support. Test the waters in your familiar environment, Rudy.

[OXENinFLA]

I don’t think Rudy has a chance with the right, not just because of his abortion stance, but because of that stance and his stance on the 2nd Amendment.

I still have not figured out how he can claim a woman has a “right” to an abortion but if someone wants to own a gun that’s a privilege and they need to pass a test and get licensed.

If Rudy is going to overlook a right that is explicitly written into the Bill of Rights and the other was thrust upon the country by Judaical decree, what other rights will he overlook and what new "rights" will he find?

.....and don't forget taking a look at Rudy's wife......is she even a Repub; or like Arnold; is Rudy married to a Demrat? If Judy is a Repub, when did she change her registration? ..........

Inquiring minds want to know.......now.

Sen. Sam Brownback who recently remarked that Giuliani’s pro-choice views were not a disqualifying factor.

By saying this, Brownback succeeded only in disqualifying himself with me. What a weenie.

[Post-Neolithic]

"DuHaime invoked both Ronald Reagan (“someone who agrees with me 80% of the time is not my enemy”) and Sen. Sam Brownback who recently remarked that Giuliani’s pro-choice views were not a disqualifying factor."

The Rudy camp sure does like using Reagan's quotes. Amazing since Rudy isn't even close to being a Ronald Reagan in thought or deed.

In the case of the 80% statement, Rudy isn't even 20% conservative, unless they are saying we should elect someone who is 80% liberal. On second thought, given the delusions these liberals live under, they probably do think that.

We won the war in Iraq. The regime is changed.

It’s time the Iraqis fight and sacrifice for the gift of freedom American lives were spent to secure on their behalf. It’s time the Iraqis build their own nation: if its governing regime again becomes hostile toward us, we can again change it with considerably less war investment than is expended in continued patrolling/policing.

Unless Iraqis are willing to secure for themselves and their posterity the blessings of freedom and independence, no amount of bloodshed by others will do it for them. They will continue to fall back into tyranny.

Exactly right.

” I suppose I should also note that I don’t believe what either one says they’ll do”

Not a word......LMBO!

[American Quilter]

I thought it must be a typo but Googled it and indeed the actual title has “trys”.

“Not a word......LMBO!”

lol. It’s just sort of a given. I hate that I even have to note such a thing (shaking head). Good afternoon!

I thought Rudy's early formula on abortion was to say he'd appoint strict constructionist judges who would overturn Roe and send the issue back to the states where a President wouldn't have to deal with it.

Now, he seems to be backpedaling off that. But, earlier he seemed to support public funding of abortions and now says he favors the Hyde Amendment.

Gotta have a scoreboard to keep track.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Good afternoon, Jedward.

They also tried to drive home a simple message: voters should look at Giuliani’s overall record and his electability in the general election. In other words they know he is a liberal and really has little respect for conservative voters but they think he might be able to win so they want us to disregard our conservative beliefs and vote for him anyway. NO THANKS!
