I’m trying to get folks to back off from attacks on solid conservative folks like you. Perhaps you didn’t notice.

The original “thug” post was beneath you, too.

Thank ya! That kind of nonsense gets me real riled up. We put up with it from the thugs on the California threads for 5 years using the same darn arguments. Schwarzenegger is turning California into global socialist hell faster than any democrat could have dreamed of, all the time calling it “bipartisanship” as he dances with the Democrats. That same phenomena at a national level will accelerate destruction of my much beloved USA and I’ll do what I can to make sure they fail.

Although that comment wasn't directed at me, I sure am glad to hear you say that. Thank you.

Now, off topic a bit....I was scrubbin' the bathroom when I thought I heard Fox News advertise that Fred Thompson was going to be on Hannity & Colmes. Has anyone else heard that?

Calling people idiots and twits does not indicate strong principles. Indeed, it is drivel.

I do not condone name calling. I also don't condone broad brush statements like yours, calling other posters opinions "drivel" because you don't agree with them. It is insulting.

Not with my help they won’t.

Really, that post is beneath you.

But, is it accurate?

It's only a rhetorical trick question when the reporter asks,

"EV when did you stop beating your wife?" IF you never beat your wife.

Well said. If Hillary wins in '08, it will be because the countryclubbers at the RNC insisted on running Rudy as the Party's nominee. It will not be because we refused to go along with their plans.

I hate to step out of the foxhole on this one, but unlike some of my fellow anti-Rudy conservatives, I believe there ARE important differences between Rudy and Hillary/Obama/Edwards.

For one thing, while I have no illusions that Rudy is the mix between Churchill and Patton that some seem to think, I do think he would be better to conduct the war on terrorism than any of his potential Democrat rivals.

Then there's the little matter of judges. The direction of the Supreme Court for the next generation is up for grabs in the next few years. The next President may well have as many as three appointments to the Court.

I don't for a moment believe Rudy's posturing about "strict constructionists." But there is a least a reasonable chance that, given his public commitment, Rudy will pick a moderate conservative or two. With Hillary's three picks we get the president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer of the ACLU.

Whether those differences would be enough to induce me to cast a general election vote for Rudy is an open question.

I think it would depend on:

(1) Whether there was a third party movement that offered some realistic hope, not necessarily of winning the current election, but of building toward a political realignment that might benefit conservative values.

(2) Whether I could satisfy my conscience before God about voting for a pro-abortion candidate.

I usually have Fox News on all day so I’ll keep on listening. I did a quick check at their website but couldn’t see where they announce who will be on today.

The only people who've been shown the door have been those who had to say something liberal in order to say something good about Rudy. Say something good and conservative about Rudy and you'll be just fine.

And exactly who are you to make such a guarantee?

Look, in case you haven't been watching, there's only one man's opinion on this forum that means anything and it ain't you and it ain't me.

There are various level of players and for my own part, I'm just a small, totally insignificant fish in a huge ocean. I've given you my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

Maybe he's going to announce.

I have nothing against Thompson but Hunter's my choice. Go Hunter.

If he's getting in I hope he does it before the debate on the Thursday. That would be something to watch. I can see my candidate go head to head with the others.

BUMP!!!

I can't believe their arrogance and stubbornness and their complete abandonment of the Republican platform and capitulation to the left. It's time to quit looking at polls and start talking about issues. The people need to know that their leaders are taking them down the path to even bigger and dangerous government.
